MsTX- 35?!? holy *%&^!!! that's mental- and you're not too sore?? TG for that! what size are they? yay to them reducing the menopur! sounds like that one is a doozy.
raelynn- high five for simultaneous cycling! My doc doesn't have me on menopur since I respond really well to gonal F, but he has me on 300 tonight and then 225 for the next 3 nights. (dude- that's a lot o drugs) but it's only one needle so I'm happy about that!
not sure If I can tell you how to relax- this whole thing is stressful. I say deep breathing always helps though. deep breath in through the nose and deep exhale through the mouth.
visualization might work for you too. (?) get as many foot rubs as you can, that always helps me!!
as for your husbands issue- that is tough. can you freeze 2 samples? it might be worth the trouble!! you have time to get two frozen...
jmc- so BPF would be the 27th? coooool. that aint so far away doll!!! 11 days if you dont count today. squeal!
so the deal with the testing is this (for moi) I don't want to test out the trigger every day like last time cause it never went blank and that made me so anxious. BUT you want to make sure its out of your system before you test. its supposed to be out by 10 days from trigger (in your case the 22nd)
so what I plan to do is test it out 11 days after trigger and keep that test (to use it to compare to) and then test again with a FRER the day before or the morning of my BETA. No matter if it is pos/neg, I don't want to hear the news from a stranger. I would rather have an idea of what the news will be. then maybe I wont be completely crushed if it is BFN. think that's my plan.
I like your visualization. I think I'll do that too. I like that- seems like it would be calming.
Drsquid- ass pain. you kill me lady. Im sure the 12 hour difference is going to be fine. Dr Gloom is a bore isn't he?
as pour moi, same old here. I had DH give me the injection this morning since my tummy is already sore (and its only been 9 days of one daily so Im worried about the state of my stomach for the next 10/11 days!!!) but he did it in the back of my arm which was awesome. I'm finding new real estate.
so I start stims tonight! horray! never thought Id be so excited for an injection! the needles I hate, but I LOVE what they do!
c'mon follies, let's get crackin'!
