HI Guys

So I had my bloods and the results are in - apparently i just ovulated. Progestrone is at 36.8 today and it was 3.8 this time last week. Is that right? It seems mighty high. I was expecting A/F in 4 days.

Back home with DH and its great!

Helen,

I was going to say the same thing as Mary about the injections.  When they are done quickly and deliberately they are virtually painless.  I used to train horses and had to give lots of shots for various reasons, I remembered having to give them their shots quickly so they really didn't know what hit them.  But, when I would try to give them gently and slowly, boy could I tell the difference in how the horses reacted.  So, when it came time for me to give myself the injections I did them quickly.  You'll virtually feel nothing.  

Dee,  I am soooo hoping your able to start your meds tomorrow!!!!

Jen,  I am soooo hoping to hear about your  BFP on Saturday!

Mary, It is so very good to have you back.  I understand the need to pull back when things become overwhelming.  I'm getting there myself.  I'm feeling like just giving up.   I keep thinking I am just crazy to remain holding out  hope and I REALLY should have done this years ago.  I just need to accept that my time has passed.  But, then there is something inside me that just pushes me to keep going.  I'm glad that you've gotten your spirit back and are feeling more optimistic.  

Fiona, You're done with b/c now and starting injections?

Heather,  I'm sorry you are having a hard time.  It seems this journey doesn't necessarily get easier with a BFP, the challenges of the journey just shift in a new direction.  I hope the nausea meds are working/helping.

OMG, I've had 3 people at work come up to me and ask me if I'm either having a baby or trying to have a baby!  I am soooo very upset that somehow the word got out.  I don't know how I can handle any more people asking me "How are you feeling down there?",  or, "Did you get your sperm yet?", or "Do you feel pregnant?".  One of my supervisors came to me today and told me she saw me on the phone with my dr. yesterday and felt that I was just "glowing" and so would I just trust her and confide in her that I'm having a a baby?  I COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS!!  The entire conversation was in the hallway with students and staff just passing by.  First of all,  my appt. was not a happy one, so I guess I was overcompensating at work and trying to be pleasant yesterday when she felt I was "glowing".   Then while in a meeting she began telling me about  her brother whose wife is having a baby this weekend and that she gets to go in with her during her c-section because she wants the moral support, and yadda, yadda, yadda about the joy of motherhood and babies.  I was really having a hard time hearing yet another one of these stories and I tried very hard to be positive and supportive.  Well, it must  have worked because my supervisor also said the way I lit up when she was talking about her brothers baby she just knew I was either pregnant or trying to be pregnant.      I can not express how much I do not want the entire staff to know my baby business.  This is just going to make this journey that much harder.   But, I had to come clean with her because the buzz around the building was that I have cancer, or some horrid life threatening disease because of all the dr. appts. and phone calls.

Well, I guess lots of people have worse things to deal with in life and I should just "buck up!"

OK: lightening things up.  Are you all watching AI?  Who do you think is going home?  I guess most of you know since you're time zones are all ahead of mine.  Tonights elimination night.  Sparky and I will be watching....

Mary--Have fun tonight. You deserve it! I'm glad you have some "normal" friends who don't just talk about eggs, sperms, shots, babies. . .

Helen--Your dh and mine should go bowling! Chris (my dh) is always perverted about the weirdest stuff. It's never a dull moment with him! Good luck with your shots, and don't worry, once you get everything organized and do it a couple of times it won't be so bad.

I am feeling kinda yucky again. I got a bad headache last night, and woke up at 3 am and almost got very ill. I had to call and get some nausea medecine. I am also havong pretty major cramping, which worries me. I did some research and it is fairly normal, but it still makes me nervous.

Helen:  That box of meds can be overwhelming, can't it.  Just remember, if they sent you any 18 guage needles, they should only be used to draw up the PIO into the syringe.  They would hurt way too much if you used them to inject yourself.  OUCH

[Helen72]

I got my meds today along with all of the paraphernalia in a huge FedEx box.  I can’t believe I will be injecting all of that into myself.  I also got my shot lesson out of the way which was a bit overwhelming with all of the different drugs and needles.  Dh came with me and of course he tried to embarrass me as much as he could.  First, he told the nurse that it’s his dream to stick long needles into my *** and then he said that he is willing to pay 10K for the pleasure.    He keeps telling me how he can hardly wait to do those IM progesterone in oil shots that come with a long thick needle to allow for the oil.  Overall, I was overwhelmed while he looked like a kid in a candy store looking at all of the different syringes and needles and winking at me.  We also did our blood tests today that are required before we start ivf.
I asked the nurse about my breakthrough bleeding and she said that it can be a problem and she will let my doc know about it but I should not worry   :)

GS,
good luck to you this cycle!!!
Also, congrats on your impressive biggest follie win  :)  You deserve a trophy!

Dee,
have a safe trip home!  Also good luck on your blood test tomorrow.  I hope you can finally start those injectables.

Mary,
thank you for your advice.  I'll pass it on to my dh although I am not sure if minimizing the pain is his goal anymore...
