no, i dont keep bees. the screen name is a reference to the movie fried green tomatoes ("you're just a bee charmer idgie threadgoode. that's what you are. a bee charmer..." - ruth) my parents are in the process of getting bees though. they are starting a 12 week how-to course and will get a hive at the end. they are very excited. this is in addition to the 10 hens they got last year. all right in the middle of suburbia!

I hope that didn't sound harsh (it's the drugs talking!!) What I mean by "owning" it, is just to take it easy on yourself, warn loved ones, and avoid tough, tiring and irritating situations, eat well, sleep lots, etc. Like I said to my dh today "please stop saying things that could be construed as criticizing my parenting skills". By the way, I'm on the drugs again, do the math and walk softly, dude. Hopefully your dp can help you through this. It is hard for the dp's too, they are excited and have a lot invested, but for us it is so intense in a different way.
I totally thought your screen name might be a Fried Green reference, love that movie!!! It is probably part of why I'd like to keep bees. Your parents are living large in surburbia, I would be excited, too!!! I think it is so awesome that people are doing this kind of thing. I read "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" recently and it so motivated me. Will you get eggs and honey from them or do they live far away?

And I would keep chickens if they didn't give me the big time heebie jeebies. I eat a lot of eggs, but I feel about chickens the way a lot of people feel about snakes. I keep hoping I'll find someone to "share" chickens with, I'll pay for part of the feed if they keep them in
their yard.

Thanks so much for this tip, I am going to look into it (if I can remember to, brain melting....)

What kind of mega-vitamins? How high were the doses?

We will transfer two embryos. I don't want to have to think about reduction, and don't think I want to tempt fate with triplets.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! The timing of these is so different, with my last FET in Nov/Dec, I didn't have any b/w or u/s until I had been on the estrace for 14 days, then they said my lining was great, but didn't do my ET for
8 more days!!!! FET's have lower priority than fresh IVF cycles and they were getting ready to close for Christmas, it was all so annoying.
Is anyone actually getting any exercise in? If so, what? And is it helping? I am so bloody tired and grumpy!!!!
: everyone!!!!!
