Hope--thanks for all your kind words...you are a ray of light--hope--on this thread for sure. How is the lupron going? No headaches I hope? I always had to keep an icepack on my neck when I used lupron....miserable.
seeds--3's a charm! here's to triplets! Good luck with retrieval and enjoy your princess status while on bedrest
lisa--here's to getting started!!! no biggy about dh's antibiotic...as I'm sure you'll find out! when are you expecting retrieval now? about the fish....yes, women who are ttc and preg and breastfeeding should avoid large fish and albacore tuna, but the canned light tuna is okay as is salmon and shellfish. If I am unsure what fish is considered large fish, I look it up... http://health.discovery.com/centers/...shandpreg.html ...but I know salmon, shrimp and tuna are on the safe list and that's all I like anyway....the point I think from a chinese medicine standpoint is that fish and chicken are much more easily digested and are high quality protein, whereas red meat takes more "energy" to digest and process, "energy" which can be pulled away from the ovaries. On another note, fish and chicken are less consitpating and I don't want anything in my system to plug it up before retrieval!
Aly--20 juicy ones---you over-achiever you.....I'll bet you have type A eggs, too! My bunch is just as juicy they say, but only 8 in number......still we are on the same schedule so far!
Julia--lol sesame PIO oil in the fridge....."what's this sesame oil stuff Julia???"......."um....that a sample of stir fry oil they were giving away at Costco today...."
CRAZY--toner eh...not bat...I am impressed! What did you decide to do about your schedule???
u/s was good today, I guess....4 follies on each side which makes 8 total, those little ones will not be joining us for this cycle, apparently....they are all almost exactly the same size though, and I hear that is good....wish I had more, but higher quality is better--we'll just have to wait and find out! Retrieval is either sun or mon...I'm betting on monday though.
It's so odd how comfortable I am--physically I mean--with this cycle. This is my first cycle not using Lupron, and first using menopur. I have just as many "good" eggs as before, if not more, but I don't feel like my ovaries are going to burst, and I have been headache free since I increased by water intake. Sometimes I wonder if anything is even going on, but the RE says for sure yes....but it's strange not being in pain or constantly uncomfortable....I didn't know IVF could be this way!

How is everyone else???

That makes sense that fish is easier to digest. Hadn't thought about it like that. Chinese medicine is so interesting.
