Hi Guys

So I am slowly getting used to squirting stuff up my nose. Still makes me gag though. Last night I had the biggest bowl of icecream as an excuse ...haha.

Helen - my life as a  country singer would be quote bizzare. Imagine an Indian girl singing ole country western. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Lisa - wow your estrogen levels look good then. 2 follies are good my friend. at least they are there. Dont give up yet. I have been reading up on back to back IUIs and i think its worth giving it a shot as Heather says. I havent found specific numbers on their success yet but maybe you should post that question.

Heather - do yuor parents know you are preggers?

Yup someone needs to start a new post.

Helen--Good Luck with your parents and their questions, hon. Hopefully they'll be on good behavior. And, although you are not totally thrilled about it, Happy Birthday, too :-)

Lisa--I O'd earlier on Injectable, also. Sounds like you have a couple of ripe ones there! I know you are disappointed, but try not to give up hope. Remember, Tanker Chic got pg with two follies! Did you ask them about doing 2 IUIs?

Fiona - How goes the meds?  Did you start them today?

Jen - How goes the BFP?!?!?!?!!?  Did you test today???

Mary - How goes things???

Dee/Helen: How goes the drink?  

Heather: Easy on the sour, heavy on the mint?  Have you had your v.mojito yet?  

U/S was fine today, a bit painful.  But, I guess that's just the case with me.  However this dr. is very quick.  So, even if it is painful, it doesn't last long.  2 follies growing strong.  They gave me a shot of something to take tonight to stop ovulation.  Because my temps are so erratic we want to be sure I don't o too early.  So, I've two shots to do tonight.  Go in again Sun am for another u/s and then we'll see about the trigger.  I don't know how big they are wanting the follies to be.  One is 18 x 19,  the other 15 x 17.  Looks like u/s monitoring every day from here on out.  E2 levels still rising which is a very good sign. I found out E2 helps determine how mature your eggs are.  Anything about 200 per egg means they are mature enough for ovulation.  I'm at 596 today, so I'll bet they'll have me trigger tomorrow.  That means I'll o on cd 12, much earlier than from being on Clomid.  Typically I would O on cd 16.  Guess I better get some good plans written out for morning subs this week.  

Let me know how ya'all are doin'.

Well, my parents are coming to visit us for spring break.  This morning I am frantically cleaning and hiding all of the evidence of ttc.  My box of ivf meds is hidden in the closet, my leftover OPK's are in a shoe box, ivf consent forms are on the bottom of a drawer and I already forgot where I stashed my clomid.  All of the evidence of infertility is gone and I am getting ready to put on my happy face.  I will not be checking in very often for a while but will check on everyone's progress at night (my parents go to bed very early).

Have a great weekend!!!!
Helen

oh lisa how exciting!!!! I sure hope it all works out - just keep plying him with all your great cooking and bartending skills. I mean what else does he want! I am living vicarously through you now seeing that I am now officially infertile and unemployed. If you play that linebackwards it would a sad country song.

Dee,  I just realized you must be thinking my little guest is my ex boyfriend.  Nope, my little guest is someone who I would like to be my current boyfriend, though we haven't added boy to the friend part to form that compound yet.  (-:

Heather, LOL, that's right it's the sunshine.  It's too sweet and well....sunny for our little Mary.  Smoke is defintely more her style.  

Mojitos: 3 parts Club soda(or tonic water), 1 part lime juice (freshly squeezed lime juice maybe 2 limes).  a few teaspoons of sugar and fresh mint leaves.  Very, very refreshing!!  I prefer the tonic water, though you'll need more sugar with the tonic.  You can also add a little Rose's Lime juice with the fresh squeezed lime. If you mull a sliver of lime rind, sugar cube, and mint leaves your doing it like a true mixologist AKA bartendar. One of my many occupations before teaching.   Yum....I am starting a craving here....

Oh, Dee you are so good with comic relief!    If only you knew getting me drunk is so very easy to do!  One drink and I'm done.  Usually, one lemon drop and I'm calling my ex boyfriend to come drive me home.  lol.    
You can add my u/s Sat. am (March 8th) also.

Heather & Fifi:
Thanks for a the info.  

I have a few loose ends to tie up at work and then I'm off for drink! Notice I didn't say drink(s) becuase then I would be under the table!!!   BUT< I must tell you virgin mojitos are very good.  At least the way I make them they are.  I made them all summer for my little guest that graces me with his presence occassionaly.  He doesn't drink alcohol so I made virgin drinks.  The mojitos were our favorites!  When I get home if I'm not so soused I'll look up the info. on E2 levels.

Mary, You are too funny.  I'll try not  to blow any smoke up your arse at any time.  (-:

Way to go, Dee! You are our executive project manager :-) That nose spray sounds interesting--how does it taste? Probably not good :-(.

Lisa, have a Mojito (easy on the sour, fresh mint) for me! I LOVE mojitos. . .drank them on my honeymoon cruise constantly. I guess they don't make virgin mojitos. That'd be pretty gross!

Fifi - how weird but i found that website yesterday when i was trying to look up my levels.

Lisa- E2 levels are a mystery to me but I do see the nurses next week and I will see what I can dig up.

So I have done my nasal spray last night and this morning. I am doing them twice daily and then I will start injectables when AF comes some time next week I gather. While the brand name is Synarel, the active ingredient is nafarelin that decreases LH and FSH so that they can take over my body pretty much on the injectables. Feel very the mouse I can tell you. I havent had any symptoms but the squirting up my nose and subsequent yuckiness down the back of my throat isnt much fun.

So in keeping with Lisa's night out, I thought I should get her to drink a few of my favourite cocktails: Long Island Teas, Mojitos, Margarita.

LETS GET LISA DRUNK!!!!!

Oh, I just re-read your post, and note that you are going out for a cocktail. Enjoy it! Also, I know nothing about E2 levels, but I will see what I can find and send you a pm. ((HUGS))
