AGP International House of TTCers
Yep, another detour! The Insomniac Theatre is still up an going, but now we serve coffee and pancakes for those of you worldwide who may be dropping on at the odd hour. Companionship and understanding served all day--guarenteed fresh!
Lex--I say wait for the blood test. You are now PUPO (Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise) and just need to see the numbers. I wouldn't be suprised if you had twins roasting in there!
Helen--You are too cute! Focus on your exam-proctoring: I am holding out until Wednesday's blood test. With the addition of heartburn to my list of ailments, it is just a big mind game at this point. My bbs KILL, but that is nothing really new, and I keep getting HORRID headaches. PLus, the heartburn really stinks. I never get heartburn. But, I would not EVEN be surprised if AF showed up. These meds can screw with your body big time (and your head)!
Lisa--Welcome to the Jungle, Baby! Don't worry, we are here for you just as you always are for us.
Mary--How are you???
Glad you guys like the Pancake House theme. I don't know if they have IHOP in Australia or Syria, but if not, you are missing out! (Sort of. . .)

Sorry about all of the headaches, heartburn and sore bbs. I hope you are not suffering for nothing! I guess I'll try to wait till Wednesday like yourself but I reserve the right to change my mind :)
Frankly, I don't think this is my month. I do not have symptoms still although I do feel hyper. I could barely sit on my *** through two exams. Considering everyone feels tired and sleepy when prego, it's a bad sign! My bbs are getting sore which for me is a symptom of AF approaching. So, no real reason to test early...

Thanks for yor sympathy. You read my mind AGAIN! I was thinking, "Boy, if I am not pg then I am suffering for no reason!"
About testing: just do what you feel like at the moment. You, of course, as a woman, ALWAYS have the right to change your mind. It comes with being female.
I am trying to imagine you, the professor, hyper while procotoring university exams. What does one do? Sit on their hands? Read math books?? I am teasing you of course, but it is a very cute image. You should call a hyper break and let everyone yell and run around the room for 30 seconds! I am sure that is against policy, but how cool would it be?
Maybe this IS your month--beinger hyper before AF? How often does that happen? I have heard of people being hyper and energetic from day 1 of pregnancy. You never know. . . that could be you. Me, I always have some ailment or another, so these "symptoms" could be psycho-somatic or just hormones. (If so, I really want to find out how to get rid of the heartburn psychologically.)
Being in limbo sucks. I'll hang in there if you will! (What choice do we have?)

Lexima: I can't wait for your results tomorrow. It is so very exciting. I am thinking that you are a trend setter, and that many more BFPs are to follow.
Heather: Sorry you are feeling so lousy. How worth it though, if it is all because of a BFP. My fingers are crossed for you
Helen: My fingers are crossed for you too for Wed (or tomorrow if you can't hold out.) Remember,don't read into the absence of signs/symptoms. As far as being hyper, last year I had a huge early morning exercise bug very early in my pregnancy, before it was detectable. I would wake up at 4AM, and by 5 I was needed to be on the treadmill. That all came to a halting stop about three days after I got a +HPT. At that point, I would get out of bed at 9AM, and be ready for a nap at 10:30. Everybody, and every body is different, so just keep thinking positive thoughts.
I love the new intro. It was very appropriate. I had to go in for early b/w, and since dh was off he went with me. There was no traffic due to the holiday, so we were in and out very quickly. DH decided to make a day of it, so he took me to IHOP for breakfast. It has been so long, and it was so good. You can imagine my surprise when I read the pancake reference in the new intro. I am hoping that we all become the IHOPs -- International House of Pregos. I crack myself up.
I got a call from my nurse today, and I will stay on the same dose of stims for the next three days. Next follow up b/w is Thurdsay AM. No side effects as of yet. The injections are a breeze, much better than the Ganirelix.

Good news all around, it sounds like :-) I am so glad things are going smoothly and that you aren't bothered by the shots.
I must have psychicly known you were going to IHOP--what a bizarre coincidence! I love the International House of Pregos--as soon as we all get our BFPs, that is our new name. (You may crack yourself up, but you crack me up,too!)
Yes (dramatic sigh) I hope all of my suffering is worth it. If not, I will have to take after my MIL and keep playing the martyr card!

Lexima... so have everything crossed for you... Good luck with your test tomorrow.
Lisa, what's that saying??? From your mouth to God's Ear? Here's to a chain reaction!!!
Very cool mix in your donor's background by the way!
Now buckle in and hang on and we'll all just pray it's not too bumpy a ride for you!!!
Heather, we have NOTHING in Syria!!! (Actually that's a lie... in the last couple of years we got KFC and even a couple of stores selling GAP and Blue Navy.... oooh... we're on a role now!!!)
Love the "PUPO"!!
Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks "I hope I'm not suffering for nothing"... Does anyone else get angry if it IS for nothing. Both attempts, when I found out it wasn't working, I got so angry about the pain. It's hardly as if it was intense pain and uncomfortable as it might have been, I was happy to deal with it. But when I found out it was all falling apart, I still had to do the progesterone injections, and the first one I did after knowing it was falling apart, I almost burst into tears I was so angry about having to be poked and prodded and having to feel so bloated and sore and generally crappy.
ooooohhh... JUST realised what IHOP is!!! Tee hee... Duh! Okay... I'm a bit slow!
Now I'm craving pancakes... better yet, crepes!!!! Might have to make some tonight!!!
Mary, hope you enjoyed yours and hope all goes well for you with the follow up b/w.
Helen, we've all said it before but really, no symptoms doesn't necessarily mean anything. But God knows how easy it is to be certain that it DOES mean something when considering one's own situation. Have everything crossed for you too.
Just try to keep yourself out of the papers... I can just see it now... Proctor Wreaks Havoc in Exam Hall !!!
