AGP Dance off continues
Season....6 I think. Here we go dancing with the follies!
Magda leads in season number 4 with a whopping 30 follies. Go Magda! Heather Jo won season number 5 of the Implantation Follies, Lexima came in a close second! Mary, Fiona, Jen, and Sam are gearing up, gathering speed and twirling with such grace and beauty it's anyones guess how this will turn out. Lisa won the Libido round, but is hoping to join the Implantation dance this time around. Helen, of course is twirling, though she's on the bench for short recovery period from a mild ovarian injury, heal Helen, heal! Jackson, is temporarily on the side lines as well. AF is currently holding her back. Da*m beeatch! But, she also has a mild injury delaying her entry into the follie dance we are all praying for a speedy recovery and hoping to see her twirliing again very soon. Dee, well what can we say about Dee. She's been our commentator, judge, secretary and comic relieve. She's worn so many hats, we are all just very impressed. This'll be her first entry into the follie dance with the coach Lupron, and (not sure) coach Follistim, or is it Gonal F? I know Gonal F's fees run a bit higher. Either way Dee's in good hands and we are all pulling for her.
OK dancers, set your shoes, breath deep, and.......DANCE! Let the Follies begin!

~>reposting here in case not all have gotten to the new string ~ nervous ~ hoping it is REALLY good ~ time running out fast....GOD PLEASE!!!!
Jen OMG 8 all at the same size is excellent!!! The problem with my cycle this time around was that only 1 lead follie pushed beyond the rest, thereby not allowing the rest to catch up. So, 8 is great, but 8 all at the same size is 8 times as great!! Woohoo!
Mary, Yes, break out the can of wuup a s s on my bozo the clown. I'm sure you could kick his arse. He's a little girly man anyhow. Love the Ted Kennedy reference. Now I'll hear and see you running 'round the house yelling "Jabba" when I see Ted Kennedy, and I'll see Dee running around screaming "Tyra" (or what was it Dee screamed when America's Top Model was on?) Regardless, I 'll picture Dee screaming when I see Tyra, and whenever I think of any of you I'll just start twirling. Life is good. (-:
Fiona, I ditto Heather, "burrow little bean burrow", and twirl fiona, twirl (in a resting position of course)
Heather, I'm sure you are curvy and vulumptous, not "jabbaish".
All my cyber sisters you are giving me such strength!! I love you gals!!!

Mary--OK, I don't look like Ted Kennedy! (HAHAHAHA) But, I have a VERY round and full face naturally, and even when I weigh my normal 110 lbs I have cheeks and a double chin. Now my face just blobs into my neck with no discernable chin, just a flap of fat!!!
Magda/Jen/Jackson Angel/Lisa: I am glad I am not the only one who gained weight TTC, as I don't feel so gross. I mean, I was dealing with a 25-lb weight gain before TTC, so now it is like a 35-40lb gain!!!!! But, at least I know the additional TTTC weight won't be hard to lose.
Jen--8 follies is awesome! And, I am so glad you got out of jury duty!!!! When do you have your next u/s?
Fiona--Burrow, little bean, burrow!!!!!!!
I can't see the perinatologist for another 2 weeks, but I will be seeing both my OB and RE next week. Meantime, just trying not to stress.
Helen--Where are you, I am worried?

Fiona: I am glad that you made it to transfer. I will be praying that the little embie burrows in and starts to grow.
Lisa: Say the word, and I will open a can of wupp *** on Bozo. My Brooklyn upbringing makes me believe that I can easily kneecap him. Any man who mistreats a woman is a loser. Any man who mistreats a woman as sweet as you has serious issues. Stay strong, focus on the real prize, and know that your cyber sisters have your back.
Heather: C'mon -- Jabba the Hut. You've got to be kidding me. You are so petite and cute that it's almost sickening. Anyway, if you really want to see a picture of a Jabba look alike, just look at Ted Kennedy. Every time I see him on TV I actually scream out "Jabba" at the top of my lungs. Sophomoric humor, but it makes dh laugh.
Helen: How are you feeling. Hopefully, the nausea has resolved.

Saw RE this morning. I showed up at 8am demanding a u/s before having to go back to court and my demand was met with "of course blondie" and a big wink and smile...just gotta love that man! Good news...I have 8 more follies this month (i swear I am a follie factory on 75 Follistim) all at 14(cm?). I have another u/s on Friday afternoon and should be ready for IUI on Sat and Sun. Very exciting!
AND, i got excused from jury duty today! Turns out the judge is my in-laws neighbor and the plaintiff's attorney has worked against and with my husband (also an attorney) on a number of cases, so there were too many potential conflicts. Whew! That was a close one!
Magda - I have gained weight as well. I think 10lbs since i started trying. So annoying. I have tried consistent exercise and diet also but nothing seems to work. RE said I need to stop exercising so much during this process so i've done nothing for about 10 days now. Also, I read an article in Conceive Magazine about curvier/meatier women having smarter babies! If that is the case, my kid(s) is/are gonna be finding cures for cancer and solving all of the world peace problems! As for psychology, I'm not sure I would have done it again if I had to choose now. I probably would have just gone to medical school to become a neurosurgeon, which is what I wanted to be to begin with. Now i am a neuropsychologist, which is a nice blend of medicine and psychology. Let me know if you ever want to talk about it! BTW - are you originally American and live overseas? I'm so confused!!
Jackson - I use the ClearBlue digital with the happy face :) I went months without getting the smiley face but finally started getting them when i tested at different times of the day. I used to only test in the morning and never got the + but i tested once in the evening and it :). Now i only test in the evening and that seems to do the trick! Also, be careful with them if you are getting the HCG trigger before IUI. It can give you a false positive.
HeathJo - any word on Baby C yet? When do you see the perinatologist?
Keep twirling...

One thing you can do that is a bit cheaper than going through a lot of the digitals. You can buy the cheaper OPK's and use them daily. Then when you have a surge that looks pretty close, than use your digital to dbl check. I've done that before also.
Hey ~ I'm on cd 7 BUT ~ I got to boxes to start testing daily and will go back out if I run out to be SURE ~ since I cannpot afford to get another IUI ~ next step is donor eggs ~ :-( ~ need to be ABSOLUTELY SURE ~ we are doing EVERYTHING possible ~ and ~ guess it's a full moon tonight ~ DH being a real DH (original though of what it meant)~:-)))!!***
Jackson, it's accurate when on injectables. You're just not surging yet. You shouldn't start checking until about cd 10. What cd are you on?
Magda, I'm glad you're feeling better! You're right the clown doesn't deserve me. Nonetheless, it's feels sh it ee to be tossed like day old bread for a fresher loaf when you're the one who's been sustaining the consumer. I'll have clarity in a week or so. Spring break is coming which means an entire weak to wallow in my sorrow, then hopefully, I'll have processed all this and moved on.
Fiona, There is still a chance to get your bfp, so I'm hoping and praying this cycle works for you.
jbrooks, I've heard of the ov watch, but haven't tried it yet.
Dee, I sent a reply to your last post, but for some reason I"m not seeing it...hmmm...strange. Well, I just said thanks for the laugh and the smile. I conjured up this image of the ole bass-terd in a clown outfit and just busted out laughing. Can always count on you to make me smile. Thanks!

Babyalive ~ the men in our kives go through their time f the month during every full moon ~ haven't noticed before..??..~ you can plan/see it coming if you check your calendar ~ they can be pretty dodding at times, but it's just because they want your exclusive attention instead of giving you theirs ~ will await Daughter's arrival home then out to Target for the smiley's ~ to be sure NOT to miss O ~
Girls you should try the on-line South Beach Diet ~ it's worked wonders for us ~ DH lost 15lbs and I lost 6.5 lbs in 4wks ~ put on 20 over past 8months due to all the death through my family and being on depressants, etc and pain killers from my accident two years ago ~ amazing what the meds do to you when the Dr's try to "help" ~ best to read all side effects, but too late after the fact ~ anyway ~ helped reduce DH's BP, and helped with the BD alot ~ :-)~~
Have been holding off going to gym to work off frustration for a while ~ might go tomorrow after BW/US ~ hoping all comes back with HUGE FOLLIES!~
Hoping all is well with all ~ keep twirling for all of us ~ hopefully it will work wonders world-wide!!

Ladies, just got back from transfer. The embryo only divided into 3 cells which isn't great. They were looking for 6-8 cells. The fragmentation and symmetry were good. I'm not very hopefully but it's in God's hands now. Madga/Helen, the valium was excellent.
The worse part was they made me drink tons of water and I had to hold it in for so long. Never was so happy to see a toilet in my life.
Helen, how are you feeling?

Lisa, I can't begin to tell you how much better you've made me feel. I know this may sound stupid but I've been SO unbelievably depressed about the weight gain. It was even worse because I blamed myself but couldn't see what I was doing differently to gain so much weight! Nor could I understand why it wasn't coming off when, okay... I'm not on a strict diet but I am trying real hard to be very careful and very sensible with food.
Seriously, thank you!
Seriously, thank you!
Jackson, after 5 IUI's and worrying each time if I was reading the OPK's correctly, I STRONGLY recommend the clear blue digital smiley face ones. They're spendier than the other, BUT significantly cheaper than another IUI if this one misses the o window. I found them at Target, I can't recall the price but I do remember they were cheaper there then anywhere else.
Good luck!!
Magda, yes the hormones make you gain weight. For me, I've gained 10 lbs in 6 months, on my small frame, that is a lot. Both the hormones and the stress of this journey. I don't exercise as much because I'm always afraid it'll have an adverse affect on the 2ww if I am too active. I walk, but not nearly as much or as strenuosly as before. It's just one of the many perks of ttc, gaining weight. I guess it prepares us for pregnancy huh?
Jen, I can't believe the judge won't let you out of jury duty for health reasons. I think you may need to have your dr. write something to the judge explaining your procedures are time sensative and can't be rescheduled or postponed. I hope you're able to get out of blasted jury duty!

have any of you tried the ovu watch? i heard it was a good thing,if i dont get pregnant this cycle im going to get one .
Hey there, I use internet cheapies and so far i cant say they have worked. I think babyalive mentioned the ones with the smiley face is her choice as there is no guesswork on the line that appears.
Hi girls ~ really nervous here ~ want to go out and get an Ovulation kit to be sure the IUI isn't missing the prime time ~ which is the best out there..??..anyone know???
k... never actually thought to ask anyone if tey had to deal with this too but Heather, now that you mention it... I've been devastated over the last several weeks because I've gained a sh*t load of weight!!! Is this actually a result of the hormones??? I gained like 5kg (or 11Lbs). Actually I gained more but I lost some so I'm now 5kg more than I was before. So is this normal???
Heather I feel for you. But then I'm guessing that the boobs, having an excuse to go out and buy new bras... oh yeah, and them three little embies... make the weight gain the least of your concerns.
Helen, I genuinely thought you were joking about the valium! How many mg do they tell you to take?? I'll tell you a story about valium... actually, this probably fulfills Mary's "telling something about ourselves" thing... when I first moved to Hong Kong I was terrified of having to spend 16 hours (Toronto to HK) on a plane. I had no idea they could KEEP planes in the air that long!!! Point being, I am claustrophobic, have a VERY bad back, cannot sleep on planes (at least, couldn't at the time) and WAS a heavy smoker... AND I was flying cattle class!!!
So my now DH suggested valium and I went straight out and got some. I was told to try it before flying to see how much I would need and that i should try 2mg and if that wasn't enough I could go up to 3mg.
So here I am on the plane, and I pop 3 mg because the 2 the night before did nothing for me. But after a while I'm thinking the 3 aren't doing anything either and I'm worried so I pop a 4th. Now for SOME reason, I was thinking I should be getting drowsy. I am well aware that that is not the effect of valium but for some reason I got that in my head and that was that. So when the 4mg didn't seem to be doing anything I went with 5. I ended up taking NINE mg of the stuff and when they finally announced that we were landing, the first thought through my head was, "Oh! Already???"
It was brilliant! Basically, I was still claustrophobic and my back still hurt and I still wanted a cigarette etc... but I just didn't care! Didn't CARE that I was in a small cramped space miles above the surface of the earth, didn't CARE that I couldn't smoke, didn't CARE that my back hurt...
Now I always take valium when doing long haul flights... but I stick to 2 or 3 mg!
Mary, no WONDER you don't like being touched!!! Duh! Don't think I would after being hit by a car ... TWICE!!!
Lisa, I'm truly sorry that you're having to deal with the relationship trouble you're going through... Sure, our ttc journeys are fraught with enough melodrama but all the more reason why I'm sorry you're having to deal with romantic issues too! I know this doesn't help right now but I hope that through it all you can see that he obviously doesn't deserve you.
Jen, you're a clinical psychologist? That's what I was planning to do. Got my degree in psych but then packed it in. Didn't have it in me to carry on with futrther studies at the time due to family issues and then started working overseas and just never looked back. But I still have a deep interest in psychology.
Dee, you made me laugh... how unusual !!! ;-) ...with your comments to Fiona, Lisa and Mary!

So I was supposed to have my u/s today but was called for jury duty!! And to make it worse, i was actually placed on a jury (UGH). I tried to tell the judge that i have an u/s scheduled tomorrow and will be late. I am NOT giving up this cycle for some random porno chick in a lawsuit (sorry that is me venting!). I still cant believe they actually want a clinical psychologist on the jury...nobody has ever wanted me before!!
U/S tomorrow to see how my follies look. IUI should be Sat, or Mon, Tues - we'll know more tomorrow.
HeathJo - LOVE your photos! Can't wait to see the preggo belly pics! I am sure you look gorgeous and glowing!
Helen - PLEASE take care of yourself. It is important to stay hydrated. Why suffer when there are things the docs can do to make life better? I'm hoping you feel better really soon.
BTW - I am 5'8" (almost 5'9")...a REAL giant compared with all of you!! I think my height might interfere with my dance moves in the follie dance off! You know how us giants tend to trip over our feet!

babyalive--Believe me, the picture you paint of me is misleading. Yes, the boobs are nice, but my face is chubby, I have more chins than a Chinese phone book, and the tops of my thighs are starting to rub together and could start a fire! As for my usterus and the feti, well, I guess they look pretty good! Otherwise I feel like Jabba the Hut from Star Wars, or Grimace, but without the purple skin :-(
Hi Guys
Had to go for interviews this morning - naturally my heart wasnt in it as i am totally loving being at home. But hey someone has to pay for these meds i am on!
Helen - how was the visit to the docs?
FiFi - omg I am so happy you got yourself an embie. Now i want you to lean into the petrie dish and say "you better do your bit you hear".
Lisa - you wanna me to bring around my friends from low places to sort things out with this clown for ya?
Mary - I am glad things are sorta getting there. I send you many hugs (all virtual and not touching of course). I cant believe you got hit twice on the same street. Do you still walk on that street?
Amy (alt 76) - me too!!!! I start injectables tonight for my first IUI. I think theres a few of us who will probably have IUI at the same time (approx 2 weeks) - Jen and Sam, me and you.
Dee
3.30pm Wed

Helen, my little tower of strength, I'm so sorry to hear about your nausea! I really hope you've gone to the ER. There are lots of things they can give you to help with the nausea. I would suggest the same things Heather did, gatorade and Dramamine. But, why suffer. Just go to ER and have them hook you up with an IV. I don't know what they've given me, but I've been to the ER a couple of times the last yr or two with severe vomiting and nausea and each time they give me an IV with some anti-nausea meds and it relives it straight away. I do hope you've gone and they've hooked you up.
Fiona, I'm sorry. I don't mean to worry anyone because our ttc journeys are full of much more meaningful suffering than my romantic drama. But, I am not myself, you are right. I'll be back soon. Just been dealing with a break-up that has been intensified by recent news of infidelity. I'm sort of reeling from the news, but in the end I realize I have only had my eyes opened and gotten a big bite of reality. Reality is difficult to face, though it's good for me to face what I've been avoiding.
On a more positive note, I am so happy you have a little embie fertilized! Oh, I am just so,so sooooooooooooooo happy for you!!
Mary in the spirit of revealing something about ourselves, I guess I covered that huh?
Amy, I had a tough time the first couple of months on Clomid, then sort of got used to it and liked it because it took away my PMS. I also produced well on it in terms of follices. Just finished my first month on injectables and the good side was an amazingly increased libido. The down side was that I didn't produce much in terms of follicles. Several of us here on AGP have done very well on injectables. You should do great. Good luck!
Jackson - the follices sound great! An 18 and a 19 that is terrific!! Though I am a bit confused by the mass. Hmmmm......
Wait a minute, did I read right??? Helen had been hit by a bus? Magda, I missed that????
Mary, OMG I am so sorry I was so self-absorbed I didn't jump on the being in two car accidents story. Did you come out unscathed each time? Were you injured? How long ago were they?
Heather, I'm jeolous. You've got the gorgeous uterus, wonderful feti, beautiful face and now your boobs are amazing. OMG. I want some of that!
Dee, What's up?
Fiona, I'm sorry. I don't mean to worry anyone because our ttc journeys are full of much more meaningful suffering than my romantic drama. But, I am not myself, you are right. I'll be back soon. Just been dealing with a break-up that has been intensified by recent news of infidelity. I'm sort of reeling from the news, but in the end I realize I have only had my eyes opened and gotten a big bite of reality. Reality is difficult to face, though it's good for me to face what I've been avoiding.
On a more positive note, I am so happy you have a little embie fertilized! Oh, I am just so,so sooooooooooooooo happy for you!!
Mary in the spirit of revealing something about ourselves, I guess I covered that huh?
Amy, I had a tough time the first couple of months on Clomid, then sort of got used to it and liked it because it took away my PMS. I also produced well on it in terms of follices. Just finished my first month on injectables and the good side was an amazingly increased libido. The down side was that I didn't produce much in terms of follicles. Several of us here on AGP have done very well on injectables. You should do great. Good luck!

Helen: Sorry to hear about the severa nausea and vomiting. That is the pits. You should definately call a doc or go to the ER. Tigan has worked well for me in the past. Until this subsides, I agree with Heather. Drink gatorade because you are most surely dehydrated and your electrolytes need to be replenished.
