I'm at the upper limit of Tylenol too for headaches but I did go buy a case of water last night so like it or not I'll have to drink more, since last night I've drank 0 so I'll start today

Hockey- I've left everything in my doctors hands, I'm not stressed over it..it is what it is and I'm paying them to figure it out, so I'm relaxing and showing up when I'm told and taking the meds when I'm told its all we can do

Janet- wow that's fantastic for follies

Greenfingers- hang in there, you're almost there now and the worst is over

LL-I see a lot of the washroom from the stims too..wierd how they do that,lol.

Ready- I never read the inserts of OPKs or HPTs its do depressing

Indigo...I love that avatar, very cute

 

[dachsundmom]

Crystal, we could split a liver...I hear you only need half.

 

[crystal443]

You do only need half My doctor asked how many I took a day and that point I was a bit over the limit..he sent me for a blood test but all was fine. It would be cheaper if we went halves on one though

 

[dachsundmom]

I stay right at 3000mg, lol.

 

[Indigo77]

Omg! You have to stop that!
Drink a full glass of water before each meal, and you should be fine.
Plus, it helps with controlling your meal portions.

 

[sadie]

Whoa. Start with droping the tylenol and starting on water. I predict pregnancy in 3 months.

 

[dachsundmom]

Can I put one of those single serve lemonade packets in my water?

I've only had 2000mg of Tylenol so far today. Maybe if I started the Melatonin to sleep, I'd feel better?

JP how many mature follicles did you have? they wouldnt do IUI with 11 mature follicles!!!! (I can just see it now Janet Planet plus 11 on tv!!) I hope this month is your month, we are off to a great start FXd

Hockey not sure why FSH changes so much, another friend I have on here had it change where mine hasnt changed much. 300 of follistim seems high for an IUI, I think I will be on 300 gonal f when I do IVf, I was on only 75 for my IUI! so perhaps it will work really well for you....good luck

I love water and drink quite a bit per day, at least 8 glasses. I also drink tea with milk but I dont count that! my favourite 'naughty' drink is cola cola....man I love that stuff. I try not to have it too much. dach/crystal I know people who hate water but perhaps you can try a glass per day and then gradually go up from there. I find nothing quenches my thirst quite like water now that i drink it all the time.

Thanks Sarah, I hope it's my month too! And yours as well...and everyone else's too!

Sarah, you're totally right, I didn't have 11 mature follies. I had only 2-3 mature ones. My doctors will do an IUI with up to six mature follies, maybe more. Because of my age it would be extremely unlikely for most -if any- of them to fertilize.

Janet Plus 11! Egads, I remember what a nut job I was when my son was a baby. He didn't let me sleep for four years, and I could never put him down. 11 of those? Sure I could do it, but we'd all have to move in to the local mental hospital.

No! You need water! Try the melatonin.

Take it 1 hour before you want to fall asleep.

More water....more sleep....and what ever happened to the yoga?

 

[dachsundmom]

Yoga is at 5:45 am and I haven't made it once.

 

[Indigo77]

Damn....That's too early...

 

[dachsundmom]

Damn....That's too early...

The only other class was 3pm...can't do it. I am up that early, but not functional at all.

Hi ladies,

I am back after a month trying to 'take a break' from all the stress. Here is mine:

Name: Rona
Age: 39; hubby 40
How many children: 0; hubby: 1 son (18 years old)
How long TTC current bean: 3 years NTNP, over 12 months seriously
Any problems diagnosed: Unexplained
Previous/Current treatments: 8 rounds of clomid, 2 with IUIs

rona! hope you had a nice month off. Im taking this month off from TTCing (but still coming on here!). We will but not monitoring anything else. Im hoping to do IVF next month and saving hard. I hope you can afford it soon too its exciting as a lot of us are going for it over the next few months.

Dmom, what about valerian root? I heard it is much healthier in the long run and more natural than melatonin (from my dr.friend). And really, you must eliminate the tylenol. I have a strong feeling about that being part of your problem. That and lack of water.
