AGP's Insomniac Theatre Open for Business!

WELCOME TO INSOMNIAC THEATRE featuring AGP and the Trying To Concievers.  Today's program features Hot Flashes, Mood Swings, OPK, The Infamous Baby Dancers, and the much anticipated BFPs!   We hope Aunt Flo doesn't show up because she tends to ruin the show.  Be sure to boo her off the stage if you see her sneaking around!  We'll have a special appearance from donor 1982, DH and the Injectables.  Don't miss it!  It's sure to be a heck of a show.

Heather, you don't seem pathetic at all !!!  If I've learned anything from the last few months of TTC, it's that you really can't judge others because you just never know how something that you may know nothing about might be affecting them.  I've seen myself react to things in ways I never dreamed were 'me' and we have to accept that it all takes its toll.  Plus, I am absolutely certain that the lack of sleep is not helping you in the slightest.  My GOD!  The first thing lack of sleep does is affect your mood and energy levels!  However, I hope you're feeling a bit better for the high levels.

Helen, how are you doing in 2WW-land?

Lisa, you're TOO funny!  But the firghtening part is I SO understand you and now I want to do the same!!!  I have one HPT that I found in the bottom of my drawer and I'm thinking I might actually save it for the day I get the HCG shot just to see those two lines.  God how I'd LOVE to see those two lines!!!
Aren't we daft!?!?!

Oh how sad, I am the only one awake! I am running rampant in the Insomniac Theatre, turned up all the lights, and am cranking up the music as loud as it goes! Might as well, seeing as how I won't be disturbing any other of you nice folks.

I just got through reading a bunch of internet stuff on early pg signs and am convinced I will get a BFN. I am not nauseous, my bbs look the same color, no implantation bleeding--NADA senoritas! I am more trying to convince myself so I won't be too disappointed next week when I get the blood test. I am sure I will go ahead and cave in and POAS before Wednesday if I am still unsure.

Today is 9dpiui,cd23, so the earliest I would test would be Monday (12dpiui,cd26).

I saw that a post from you came through and thought, "Oh NOOOOOO... she's awa-a-a-a-ake!!!!!!"
And Heather, I truly do understand the trying to convince yourself of a BFN.  That's very much me... I go a step further and can't admit that's what I'm trying to do because I tell myself I really have to BELIEVE it otherwise I'll jinx myself!!!!!  Talk about being daft!
But you know, my sister had no symptoms at all.  To the point that she was convinced the lab had got test results mixed up with someone else.  She didn't believe she was pregnant until she saw a heartbeat.
I'm sure you've tried everything there is to try but would warm milk help at all?  I used to suffer a fair bit from insomnia and much as it might sound like an old wives' tale, warm milk did actually help.

Emtpy - LOL, you sweet little lush.  (-:       I don't think there is any chance at all of that happening.  You have every chance of having a baby.  LOTs, and LOTs of women have babies with one good tube.  It only takes one tube, to release one egg, to produce one baby.  You've got it a goin' on girl!  You have the goods!!

Heatherjo - The insomonia is murder!  I once went 9 days without sleeping.  Came to find out my thyroid was off. But, boy did I become a different person in those 9 days and EVERYTHING, I mean EVERYTHING was magnigified.  Things that normally, I wouldn't bat an eye at, would send me over the edge.  On the rare occasion that I would sort of 1/2 drift off for 30 - 40 minutes, I would then wake up with the racing heart and panic attacks.  I think your insomonia that your experiencing now,  is hormonally induced.  At least you are able to get some naps in so your body and mind is at least getting some kind of rest.  Like Magda said I'm sure you've tried everything.   But, sometimes when it's been going on for a few days or more, the insomonia feeds on itself.  And it can just keep getting worse and worse.  I know your in 2ww, but maybe for just one night to maybe get yourself back on track - you should take something for it.  Tylenol PM, or if you have anything stronger like Ambien, or Xanax.  Just for one night might give you some reprieve.  Hope your sleeping now.


Magda - I  highly recommend you POAS when you KNOW it's going to be BFP.  It really does lift the spirits and gets you into the mind set, that YES this may happen after all.
