Hi there!!! I'm so proud of myself. I did very well yesterday with staying away from these boards, but I still need support from you girlies, so I cannot completely shut myself off from this thing.

I think I'm going to do very well with not obsessing. I thought of it like this: I'm pumping my body full of drugs, just like I do with every cycle and the drugs work for me, so there you go. All I have to do is go in to the office for some ultrasounds and take more drugs if necessary. The RE does the thinking about how to make things work, not me!

I don't even need to time intercourse with hubby! they inject the gold right up in me! We can just play into overtime in the privacy of our home if we wanna.

Its out of my hands! So I'm not going to restrict myself from this board, I'm just gonna take it easy and lay like that brocoli without being neurotic about it. I just got into a slump and now the sunshine is back - shining down on me!

thanks for being there!

Hi! Momma, How are things going? When do you start your shot? When do you go for your U/S? I just couldn't wait to get on the boards this morning. My DH and I went out to dinner and shopping last night after I got home from work so I never got time to check in yesterday and I was wondering about everyone.

Kelly

Hi Kelly! I tried to quit these boards for a while, yesterday. BUt I can't! I need you ladies too much.

I started my shots Thursday - yep and I hit a vein! OUCH That hurt. ICK. I'm feeling a lot of tenderness and have some bloating goin' on, more than last cycle. So I'm hoping that Tuesday's u/s brings good news and LOTS of nice promising follies.

I go on Monday for my next U/S and I can't wait. They are going to measure the follies. I can't wait to see how many and how big they are getting. I thought about getting her to print me an immage so I can put it in my scrapbook. Ha!Ha! I am probably obsessing here but I can't help it this is my first cycle w/shots/IUI and I am so pumped and excited thinking rthis may be the one. I hope that everything goes wonderful on Tuesday. I am on CD8. What day are you on? About what day do they usually do the IUI? They said I would be doing shots for 10 to 15 days.

Kelly

Awww!! That is so cute, Kelly! I've saved everything from when we first started (years ago) so I can show my baby one day!

Good luck on your u/s on Monday! I hope they have an idea when they can schedule your IUI! It all depends on how well your follies are growing. Last cycle they did my IUI on CD17- they wanted to draw out my cycle and take it slow so I didn't get too many follies. Right now I am on CD9 http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif so if things went as they did last cycle, my IUI would be on Mother's day! But you just never know. It could take longer this cycle, or even quicker ( I have more tenderness this time and my belly is pooched out ) ButI dunno? I'll let you know what they say Tuesday.

Good luck! You are in my thoughts, Kelly. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif
