Hi ladies!
Terri - Sorry again about this first cycle not working for you. Good to see you are jumping right back up and going at it again.
Your little foster pup is pretty stinking cute. She looks like she needs a hug with the cone of shame on her head. I would love to foster a young dog but I'm pretty sure both of my grumpy pups at home would have none of it. My dogs are 10 and 13 yrs old so they are pretty set in their routines. You know, just like old people. Heehee. Hope you enjoyed your
last night. A few girlfriends and I used to have "Wine Down Wednesdays". Hmmmm, I'm thinking we might need to get those going again......
Beagle - I'm glad you got your application done! That's an interesting concept about writing the letters. I would certainly be interested to see what DH would have to say. I joke that he is a robot with no feelings. I know that's not true so doing something like the letter writing might reveal some things he has never told me. I'll keep that in the back of my mind. The note from your manager was so sweet.
Things like that keep me convinced that the world really is a good place. Sweet, simple gestures like that also make me want to pay it forward. Then things usually get hectic and I forget. Sometimes, I just wish I could shut off all the stupid static in my head and focus on the things that matter. I guess that's what normally happens when I run. I haven't been in over a week and I can feel it; might be time to lace up the shoes already even though I said I was going to take a break.
Hooray for vacation being so close. Hope you are able to focus at work today.
JCM - I would be panicking a bit too if I were in your shoes. I would have thought they would have had your schedule to you already. It's not like there hasn't been time to get it ready. Hopefully you have it now! A nice bath and bottle of
sound lovely. I'll be using an antagonist protocol and it looks like I'll be using Ganirelix to prevent ovulation. You might have something similar. Curious to see what you end up with.
Brighteyez - Good luck with that beautiful chart! It's looking pretty promising right now. Fingers crossed this is it for you.
Moni - Your comment about DH's difficult task of taking an antibiotic made me chuckle. So true that they get off pretty easy in all of this. I'm hopeful for your test on Sunday.
ERose - How are you doing? Glad to see you have started the patches. Those sound much better and easier than IM shots!
It's County Fair time here - I had to help with the parade yesterday and then work at my office's booth last night. I had never been to the parade before - it was crazy! The group I was with had the last float and we were behind a concrete truck that we dispensing candy to all the kids on the side of the road. I had never seen anything like it. Kids were lined up on the side of the road with pillowcases to catch the candy. (See attached picture). The people watching at the actual fair was amazing.
Nothing to report on the IVF side of things. Still sitting here (im)patiently waiting for my schedule. I still have two weeks before I start my meds. I might go crazy!
