Love you guys! See you over there...

Sally- I have nothing to say to make it better but just know that we all care and I cried for you in hopes of relieving some of your pain.
I am in such need of shrimp....no yummy 'ritas for me though.

Good morning all!
Sorry again for the mia over the weekend.... but what a weekend! ;-( ..... I missed everyone!
Sal - I am sorry hon! I know the feeling.... I had to retest my beta this am (still waiting for the call)... but I POAS at home before going to dr. and of course NO LINE! So, looks like you and I can party together! How about getting together in Alaska for some fresh shrimp, scratch margaritas --- the sun doesn't set until about 2 am (and then it's just dusk) so we could party allllll night long!
Tijuana - hows your meds coming along? I can't wait for your FET... sending lots of baby dust to you!!!! (I think the dust fairy passed us by.....)
How is everyone else doing?
Y'all pretty much know that my backside has been sore and "itchy" for the last 2 weeks because of the PIO, well this morning I woke up and it was still itchy and went to rub my right cheek --- I HAVE BLISTERS!!! It is so uncomforable to wear clothes right now... and yes I am at work.... ouch, ouch, ouch! I have to pick up a px later for some Allegra, which is what Dr. said would help clear blisters, and no more shots of PIO period! I get to move on to the inserts if needed! Oh boy..... can't tell you how excited I am about those!

Yeah, Sal, just cuz you are taking some time off doesn't mean you have to be a stranger! AGP needs your smart a*s*s comments or we simply can't go on!!!
love you sista!!!
p.s. I'm really sorry this cycle doesn't seem to be going your way... :-(
p.p.s. Wanna come to Chi-town and party it up with me and Tijuana?!?

Aww, Sal- Good luck to you! Don't be a stranger! We still need your witty remarks and encouragement.
Looks like I am finally out. Took another FRER this morning and the line is sooooo light it's pretty much a negative. Im 12DPO, so Im done. Haven't had the big cry yet.. don't know if I will... done alot of crying this cycle and I'm tired of it.
Love you guys, appreciate all the kind words. Im going to take a few months off, lose some weight and enjoy myself (havent done that in awhile)
Oh.. and have some SEX!

How is everyone? I hope well...
Sally-sorry to hear about the OHSS, I thought for sure I was going to get whammed with it as well. Gah so much stress and worry with this stuff.
Crackers are my new best friend...and hint of lime chips dipped in cocktail sauce! I broke down yesterday because it was hot and sticky and it made the house smell funny and I just couldn't take it. DH said he was happy to find out that pg women in movies aren't over acting when they burst into tears randomly...sigh.

Sasparilla my dear...
It ain't over till the fat lady sings...and I'm not belting out a tune quite yet! I am sorry you are in h*e*l*l waiting, waiting, waiting...
Tijuana, I hear you about the Taste. It can be fun, but is so crowded with hot, sweaty, drunk, nasty people. I don't think Mayor Daley is going to put us on a billboard anytime soon as Chi-town spokes people! ;-)
Magda, is AF staying away from you?!? How are you feeling?

Thanks y'all. I guess theres a snowballs chance in h+e+l+l it's implantation spotting, but I really don't think so. As of this morning (slept soooo bad) it's the same as last night (still have to root around to get some on the TP) My last HCG booster (5000iu) was 5 days ago, so it should be out of my system pretty much, but my FRER lines are getting lighter and lighter.
Its strange though b/c I just went in for Progesterone B/W and U/S on Friday and they said everything was good (except that little OHSS thing). Im throwing off estrogen like its going out of style.. so Im a little confused. My E2 levels at Day2/3 are usually around 25, and 2 days ago my E2 was 1200.
All this is stupid. And it makes me mad.
At least now I can lose some weight before I try again.

Good evening ladies.
Aww Sally..sorry to hear AF is coming...
Something must be in the doggone air! What is it with people thinking they can just take people's hard earned money!! I hope they catch who did it and make them pay it all back and then some...
Krista, I did get out and enjoy the weather...we just got back in...DH and I went to take some overdue family photos, visited with family and now back home to relax the rest of the evening. Are you going to the tast of Chicago? It's too crowded for me. I am short and I always get smacked by stinky armpits, so I opt to stay at home! lol

Sorry Amberlee.. that really stinks. Hope you get it fixed soon

SO where do people think they can just get off by stealing your debit card and going on a spending spree with your money? weve been spending all morning now trying to get our money back because some A.S.S.H.O.L.E decided to steal our info!!!! GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR im so mad right now!!!!!!!!!
sorry needed to vent to someone!!!!

Jeez, Helen, that stinks. I can't believe you work for a state that has the option of fertility benefits, yet you aren't able to get it. That is seriously wrong. In IL, companies that have group coverage (versus private plans) must offer infertilility benefits to their employees. My husband works for a private company, and although they are not mandated to provide infertility, they opt in. He actually changed jobs in Jan, and one of the big reasons was the infert. benefits.
So you teach health economics? One of these days I would love to pick your brain. I work in healthcare as an occupational therapist. I have a small company of therapists so a portion of my day is spent billing and trying to collect $$ from insurance companies and/or the state. Sometimes (often times) it is like getting blood from a stone.
Ok, off to work on some of those insurance denials...

Sally,
this may sound counter-intuitive but OHSS getting worth is a good thing since it gets really bad when hcg goes up. Kari had that and when she got her bfp she was in a lot of pain. It does not affect pregnancy though. So, if the pain is getting worth, it's a good news for you!!!
Krista,
TX mandates infertility and ivf coverage as well. But your employer does not have to accept it!! Not in our state. Insurance Co. just have to offer it. So, I live in TX with mandated ivf coverage and had to pay every last penny myself out of pocket! Oh, and did I mention that I work for the state??
I'll probably vote for Obama (not that it matters in TX!) but neither candidate would do anything useful about health insurance. I am actually a health economist and teach health economics every semester and it's really depressing :(

SHE'S BBBBAAAAAACCCCKKK!!!
Sally has emerged from underneath her rock! Yippee! We missed you, even if you are in a bad, estrogen-tainted mood!
Now, about pulling that miracle out of your arse...it happens, sista. Don't give up yet.
And that totally S*U*C*K*S about OHSS. Unbelievable. For the love of G*O*D, can't it just be straight forward and simple sometimes?!? Like Helen, for example. Finally got her BFP, but bleeding up until recently (thank goodness it is better!). ARRRGGGHHH!!!!
Helen, I agree with you about Obama...discouraging, b/c Illinois is one of the few states that mandates fertility coverage for group policies. If I am forced to go with a private plan, there goes my limited fertility coverage. Not that I am complaining about my coverage mind you. I am very lucky to have any coverage at all. There is NO WAY I could do this without a little insurance coverage. It is breaking my bank enough as it is.
Magda, come out and play today! Check in with us! :-)

Phooey. Helen.. :P dont you dare put me in a good mood.
Krista, my sista.. I AM IN H+E+L+L
Obama..hmmmm..... Im just not so sure. Im a Dem, so Im guessing I'll vote for him, he just seems kinda young & inexperienced..I wish Gore was running.. he prolly would have won.
Already told Magda this but I thought Id share something ironic and strange..
I Have OHSS.. I s+h+i+t you not, dear ladies.. Its real mild, but I went in for Progesterone B/W and U/S to make sure my ovaries were quiet, and theyre about the size of oranges.. YUCK! And my E2 is @1200.. what a pain. Im of course just laying around drinking tons of fluid being a bloated sack of estrogen.
BTW.. Im w/Magda.. 99% sure this thing didn't work. Id have to pull a miracle outta my arse.
Ok.. now that Dh has left for work I can go stuff my fat face and go back to bed. I was in bed all day yesterday.. these meds are making me skleepy and I feel like Im getting a cold to boot.
Thats right.. play that tiny violin for me.. waaa waaaa

Krista,
Obama's so-called universal health care plan involves helping everyone to buy private health insurance. Since most private health insurance Co's do not cover infertility, I would not hold my breath.
Juana,
how is your FET going? Miss an update from you!
Magda, Sally,
no more negative attitude!!!
p.s. sorry about the painful 2ww :(

Hi girls,
Sally and Magda...how are you two birds holding up?
Kele, Funny stuff about your dreams! Better then nightmares, I suppose (unless my exboyfriend was in you sexy dream which IS a nightmare. Gross.)!
Tijuana, Hope you are going out today and enjoying the Chicago summertime. It is hot, but sunny and breezy here today!
As for me, I am working this morning and going out to play with afternoon with DH. WIll probably blow my diet, but whatever. ;-)
Here's a political question for ya'll: If Obama is elected president and starts a Universal Healthcare program, what are the chances of having infertility benefits? Not so good, I suspect. What do you gals think?
Enjoy the day lovies,
Krista

Well after dealing with the police and the bank and the place that DH card was used...we finally have our money back. The bank was ever so kind to return the $500 insufficiant fee charges that were racked up, with only the smallest amount of complaining and wheedling from me.
I have been having the most bizarre dreams...I mean bizarre. Very sexual in nature and so much so that even I blush when I think about them. lol
The crazy amount of excess saliva in my mouth is starting to make me feel ill throughout the day, that is until I discovered Lemonheads! That candy has saved my life.
Well I have go get ready for work now, talk to you all later and I hope you have a great day. ^_^
