Purple - Glad to hear things are going well for you and that you are keeping busy to help pass the time! The tww always seems so long!! Fingers crossed for you on Monday!! What time do you think you will hear back about your results?
Taxlady - 19... that is a great number!!! How many do you think you will put back w/ your ET??? How many did you get at ER and how many fertilized last time, I'm drawing a blank. Fingers crossed for you and sending you lots of sticky vibes!!
Laggie - Did your friend know that you were having issues in general w/ fertility? Had you mentioned to her that you might have to use donor sperm before? If so, then I wouldn't be offended, even though it really is none of her business especially if you aren't very close. I've found that people that don't understand how it feels to go through IF just sometimes say stupid things that I'm sure they don't mean to sound rude, but it may just rub me the wrong way. I try to give them the benefit of the doubt. Good luck to you!!
Keria - Glad you are feeling better! So sorry to hear that your DH is sick now. That sucks that you are having to take care of him, but at least since you already had it you won't get it again. Men can be such babies when they get sick... but then again, I'm kinda like that too when i don't feel good. Because you asked....see pic below.
Bungalowmamma- Yep, that sounds about right - cost wise! I used Freedom for all of my IUI's and w/ my last FET, but used Walgreen specialty pharmacy w/ my fresh IVF. I really thought Freedom did a good job though. I also really like their online teaching videos on their website and used them a lot. Once you get the boxes of meds just take a deep breath before you open it b/c you will kinda be blown away. I remember putting it all out on the dining room table and taking a pic on my phone and sending it to DH saying this is what $4500 looks like!!!! Because you asked....see pic below.
Kewpie - sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I was starting to worry about you yesterday when you didn't post. I know when I get pregnant my nose/sinuses get all messed up bc of hormones which is very common unfortunately. Can't wait to hear how your U/S goes tomorrow.
AFM - Well, I started spotting off and on yesterday and then some ever 3rd time I pee today, so I'm thinking AF is on her way. I told DH that i thought she was on her way and he asked "is that good or bad" ... Hello!! If she didn't show up, we wouldn't have to be spending all this time and money on another IVF let alone the upcoming test i have in the hospital. Just makes me laugh that he isn't sure if it is good or bad. Well, at least I have the new pup to look forward to and can't wait to be her Mamma!!! Since several of you asked.. here is a 5wk old picture of her playing outside that we just got from the guy. She is the one in the back watching the SPAZZ in front of her. You can tell she is just thinking to herself, "Man that dog is crazy and I'm so well behaved"!!!! LOL 16 more day until we go pick her up!! Can't wait and sooooo looking forward to the distraction.
