Any word from Tear78? I've just been thinking a lot about her this cycle.

[karmab]

she's posted here a couple times recently, and her siggie says she's got six follies! what's the scoop tear?

KarmaB... I had a BBT Thermometer, but, when I went to use it, the battery was dead. And, I just haven't felt like going to Walmart to replace it. Temping is very hard for me, I never sleep well when I try to temp. I seem to wake up about every hour, to see what time it is. So, my temps end up being inaccurate, and I don't get enough sleep!

I'm sure O is past, the OPKs are just niggling at me a little.

Aww, thanks girls! I've been kind of quiet this cycle, pretty much because of the exhaustion of daily injections and every other day ultrasound appointments. It's SUCH a freaking marathon. But yes, we have six follicles growing in there. Hubby is calling me octomom. I laugh because this is just one funny turn in our long, long, long, long journey. It's exciting to think I may actually have a good chance at one healthy baby here, but maybe more. Only one was mature on Friday, and we're hoping the weekend will help a couple others catch up: but maybe more. I go back in on Monday to see if we're ready to trigger, so think mature follicle thoughts for us!!! and I'd be THRILLED to get all six mature, personally, but shhhh....don't tell anybody. Please...nobody judge that: it's been a long road. At our appointment, we were told that our chances of multiples is very low.

i just read something interesting too tear about someone who had a certain number of mature follies, got a trigger, popped those few, and then the trigger matured a couple more immature ones, had a natural lh surge, and popped a couple more 3 days later! confirmed by the re! amazing huh? praying for you.

stevi- i understand your reluctance to go to walmart. there are days i just cant deal with the walmartians. but think about it next time you are in a pharmacy! heck, i got mine at winn-dixie. and the same thing tends to happen to me- i start waking up around 4 am, and normally i just roll over and go back to sleep, but when im temping, i suddenly remember i need to check the time and bolt upright and look at the clock to be sure im not late. it's a pain in the arse, but that's part of the reason i only temp for a few days before o, like from when i start to get good cm/cp, and then 3 days after. after that, only if i feel like it, once in a while maybe.

Walmartians? Are you referring to the associates, or the customers?

I had a question about temping. I have a very erratic schedule, I work overnights a couple of days a week, and get up at 0330 other days, and on days off I might sleep...whenever. When am I supposed to temp? At an arbitrary same-time-every-day, or whenever I've gotten 6 hours of sleep in a row (with the realization that there will be gaps on the calendar if I do it that way)?

It's not Walmart, it's getting off my butt and driving there, then standing in line.
I've been spending all of my time either with donors or trying to arrange them! Now I just want to relax.

I guess my schedule is not as erratic as yours (7:45 am - 4:15pm or 3:45 pm to 12:15 am) but what I do is to temp at 6am every day which is either after a regular night of sleep or after only 3-4 hours of sleep and I fall back after temping. It works well and my temps are nice and smooth.

But obviously this won't work if some days you are awake. Does there exist any time of day that always falls somewhere during your sleep period?

Can I be moved to "Waiting for my otherwise-wonderful-but-on-this-particular-subject-ultimately-infuriating husband to be ready"? Oh ripped the rug out from under me. I also have no date again. I feel like I'll never have my little family.
