I want to slap everyone except anyone who has gone through IVF. I've lost sympathy for the human race as a whole unless you have a broken babymaker :)

Well I am glad I am not the only one in the crying club today. Flo is visiting and my emotions can't decide if they want to go with an unceasing ugly cry, or wanting to punch random strangers that look like they deserve it. Oy! Pray for my poor hubby he just can't win right now :-P

I haven't stopped crying since my transfer! Guess we're all nuts :)

mjwall: Congrats on 20 follicles! Happy trigger day! I'm so excited for your retrieval. Keep us posted... we will be stalking you.

kDeezy: Glad to hear you are getting a bump! 300 should kick those ovaries into high gear! I hope you get the green light to trigger on Wednesday! Hopefully all our shitty cycle nonsense will bring us some good news. I would go through the shittiest if it means we get babies! :)

tnt: sorry for the crying. I'm sure the hubby will hang in there! These men of ours deserve some sort of metal. Although not having to do injections is a pretty good gift :)

Oh, good news! I screwed up and my beta isn't the 6th, it's the 2nd. One week and 1 day to go! A Saturday would have been ideal, but earlier is better.

How do people get results? Just a call like any normal update? Or do they call later? Leave a message? I'm worried to be at work for either news. Either way I'm going to bawl my eyes out.

I always work from home on beta day. I know every clinic is different but I've found that with mine, the later the phone rings the worse the news. I got my BFP call at 1:30 and both BFNs were after 3. I think they're more eager to make people cry happy tears than sad ones.

Speaking of tears, I'm glad I'm not the only crying freak around here! I bawled in my car for a solid hour yesterday and cried about 6 times at work today.

TNT I'm so glad AF is here!! It's cycle time!!

I'm joining the bawling club today too. As some of you know we were unable to freeze any embryos, so I've been a mess today. Just hoping the 2

Accidentally hit enter...
The 2 that are in there stick and we have twins!! Although, I'd be happy with one, but 2 would be freaking phenomenal!! Hang on there ladies. We are almost there. Here's to all BFP!!!!

I'm sorry you ladies are having a rough day ... or couple of days. Are there any kids' names that mean "made me an emotional wreck" or "gave me a pain in the @$$"? I'd be all over those names in a minute ... The two small bruises on my left butt cheek have conjoined and are now the size of a half dollar. I'm not sure if any of you are praying ladies, but I pray for each one of you every day. You're almost there! :)

kDeezy, working from home on beta day sounds like a great idea if you're able to. I was a nervous wreck the entire day, checking my phone every two minutes. If I hadn't been at work, I'm sure I would have cried. MRS, there was no predicting my phone calls; it really depended on the day and how busy my clinic was.

No crying here ... just trying to balance feeling sick to my stomach all day and being starving. I feel sick or full for a good few hours, and then BAM! I'm so hungry I feel like I need to eat everything in sight. Which I just did. I put eight decent-size ravioli pieces and an ear of corn on my plate, promised myself I'd eat half and then reevaluate ... and just mowed through the whole thing in under five minutes. But I have a deal with God. I will be this sick or sicker for the next nine months if it means a full-term pregnancy and healthy, normal babies.

Hines when I was pregnant I needed to eat a bite of a bagel every thirty minutes or I got really sick. Sucking on peppermint candies helped too.

Lil hopefully your nuggets stick and you won't even remember that none made it to freeze!

I am so gassy and it's so uncomfortable. I'm so scared that bumping up my stims is going to give me bad eggs again. Mostly I'm just irritable and ouchy and I can't wait for retrieval.

Lil: I'm hoping for twins for you! I can't wait to hear of your HUGE first beta numbers! :)

Hines: Eat whatever the hell you want. If it makes you feel god, then go for it! I'm sure after the first couple months you will feel a bit more normal and you can eat fruits and veggies then :) My butt looks like a dart board. But it does make it easier to know where the next shot goes. Someone said that there seem to be "sweet spots"... its true! I hope your bruises calm down!

kDeezy: The bloat sucks! It's not even that it's kind of uncomfortable, it's that we look pregnant when that is what we so badly want to be. It's a mind fuck. Those few people that glanced at my belly almost got a bat to the face. But hang in there because it will go away. Then you will soon have baby bloat instead! :) Upping the stims will give those smaller follicles a chance to get into the measurable range, which means happy eggs. Not bad one's. Take care of yourself the best you can. Eat well, walk a lot, drink a lot of fluids, vitamins... You got this! It's your time.

3dp5td: My back hurts, mostly on the right side. I feel like I need to pop a bone out. And the PIO from 2 days ago still hurts on that side. But on the plus side, I'm getting more comfortable with them. It's a routine. Not pleasant, but I can see doing this for the long haul.

*Good, not god. But if you find food that makes you feel god, fill us in. :)

MRS you crack me UP!!!! I am a praying gal myself and I can most certainly tell you that the one food that makes me 'feel' God is CHOCOLATE lol!!!! The one thing that keeps my sanity in check so I know there is still a God is a gorgeous cup of hot tea:0)

hineschicca you are so sweet! I too think of my DS gals on a daily basis and send up prayers for you all going through your fertility cycles and dealing with the heart crushing losses.

I would love to give so many of you amazing gals a real life giant hug!

Mrs - Yay! I can't wait to hear how the 2nd goes!

Lil - Oh I'm hoping that you have twins too! That would be so great! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Hines, I'm with you. I think about you ladies often and hope that you are doing good and pray that you all have a happy outcome. I haven't met any of you but yet I think about all of you as if I've known you for years. :-)

I hope all of you ladies are having a better day. I don't seem to be as emotional today, bloated and feeling fat yes, but at least no tears. Thankfully, retrieval is tomorrow morning and I can hopefully start to feel like a normal human being again. As much as I wanted the fresh transfer, I have to admit, I am glad my doctor won't do it. I will be thankful for those 4 weeks of recollecting myself and getting prepared for the next big step. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get a BFP sooner than later, especially after this last week but I'd like to give my body a rest after all these extra added hormones. I never realized how much they do a number on your body! Holy moly!

I have a question...Has or did anyone get super hungry and after they ate, they felt nauseous? I'm just curious because I have felt that way for the past few days and I wasn't sure if it's just me or if it's part of the hormones.

Hey all I hope you all are doing well and LILCMHOS I hope you have you twins !!! I am hoping for twins I find out how many next wed and Iam praying for a heathy pregnancy Iam 5 1/2 weeks right now!! HINS I feel sick when I wake in the morning if I don't eat like 30 min after I wake you i feel really sick and then I need to eat like every 2 hours, how many weeks are you ? When do u find out if you have one or two and do you have cramping I have more of it after a long day of work and at night .Kdeezy hope all is going well for you dear I often think of all of you a lot !!
So today I could have cried I backed in to a bathroom doorknob it hurt soooooo bad my but is really sore :-/ So has any one dose suppositorys of projestoronie because I have to because my injections are leaking out .y skin is getting yo hard in spots the nurse said and they need to put me on suppositories but I still do the estrogen by needle because its thinner and don't leak out ! ******"Sticky Baby Dust to All!!!!************************

MJ yes! It's probably because of all the bloating. It puts pressure everywhere and when your stomach stretches after eating it gets super uncomfortable. Good luck tomorrow, can't wait to hear your numbers!

I have monitoring in the morning and while I'm hoping I'll get the green light to trigger tonight, I think I'll have to stim for a few more days. My ovaries are being douchebags and just don't want to give up any eggs :(
