Re: Say say say- Anything
did you do follistim? one person said the medicine hurts bad, someone else said they had no issue.
So glad to hear your new position is going well!
But I'm very sorry to hear about your cat.
I didn't. I did Gonal-F which is a cheaper version of Follistim. If you want, I can ask on the Success After IF board since I'm sure a lot have experience with Follistim. Gonal-F didn't hurt at all though. The one that hurt was a different injection that I had to use to prevent ovulation. I can't remember the name of it now, but it stung and left a red rash. I doubt you're on that medicine though - and I don't recall ever reading people complain that Follistim hurt when I was going through IF treatments. Let me know if you have any other questions or want me to ask advice about Follistim. Hoping this is a short-lived time and you can move on to an uneventful pregnancy.
ETA - the burning medicine was Ganirelix.
BFP with no treatment!
I have that one too!! Hopefully I don't have to use it. Which is annoying because I paid for it but I'd still rather throw away the money then have it burn! When I got the numbers Follistim came up cheaper then Gonal, the nurse said that's why they perscribe it first.
Aah, I'm sorry! It's passed for the most part. I think it also just means that I need to crank up the social life.
Summer was quiet around here, since a lot (most) of the expats take extended trips, and we decided to stay put this year.
Claire--Good luck on your injections! Hope it goes well.
Guys are so funny.
DH just got a FB message from his BFF (who lives in Boston). No words, just pics.
It was nothing but two ultrasound pics! Of a very well-formed baby face (super cute, huge cheeks)!
Upon further inspection, I noticed that his babymomma was born in 1968, and that the baby is 34w4d along.
No information, no back story on this lady he's having a baby with, nothing. I NEED MORE INFORMATION!!!!!
my photography blog
I couldn't listen to him this morning without thinking about this and giggling. Probably not the best to tell him that though.
This morning has been a test in patience and I'm not passing.
Took oldest DD to school at 6:30 this morning for volleyball tryouts. They would not let her participate because she did not have her physical form. Except that she took the form to school on the very first day and they made a copy and gave it back. Luckily she can take it (again) tomorrow and try out.
Middle DD is NOT ANSWERING THE PHONE (pet freaking peeve of mine). I always call before they need to leave and I even reminded her this morning to make sure she knew where her phone was and that it was on so I could reach her. I sure hope she caught the bus.
/vent I think I need coffee.
We're normally big on DIY-ing stuff around the house. But a guy at our church is a painter & really needed some work, so we hired him to take out wall-paper, texturize & paint in our dining room, 2.5 bathrooms & some shelves. I feel like I live in a fairy tale, I go home & little elves have been busily working while I'm gone making the place look nice. I cried when my dining room was no longer satin peach florals last week. I cried again when it was navy blue. He's finishing up the bathrooms today & I'm certain it will make me cry once more. Can't wait to have gray built-ins next week
I may never DIY again!
This is a huge pet peeve of mine too. I think the only time M didn't answer the phone was when I called a little later than normal and she was already outside waiting on the bus.
haha! How awesome! I Need some house fairies, how far does he travel?
Well, I believe you live less than 5 miles from me, so he'd definitely go to your house. I know he's actually gone as far as College Station for some jobs.
His work has been fantastic, if anyone needs a painter, I will give you his info.
Can you send me info on him? I would be interested....
Do you know if your walls prepped before they wallpapered, or did they just put it straight on the dry wall? I might be interested in getting some work done too.
That is the kind of crap I want to find! I cleaned out old purses to give to Goodwill and all I found were a bunch of old tampons.
This is always my luck as well.
It seems to vary by room. The dining room & 1 bathroom had been prepped. The other bathroom & the powder room were not. So he went about fixing them different ways.
ODear - YGM.
once you pay someone to paint for you and you see how fast they do it and you havent lifted a finger its hard to ever go back. Sort of like hiring movers... i'll never move my own crap again if I can afford it.
Can you send me his info too? I need to start on my kitchen but I really don't want to do it myself. LOL
Hmmm. That's my problem. The original builder never prepped our walls. We've decided to gut the upstairs bath, but we are still on the fence about the half bath.
1. Your new SN makes me laugh because of the youtube video and my BIL's obsession with it.
2. When did the nest start changing screen names? I thought your only option was to start over? Cool.
I chose that one because of the youtube video and Glee.
I don't know when they started but someone on 6-9 said you could email community@thebump.com and request a name change.
ooooh, interesting. how did you do this?
If they've googled and followed you here, do you think they are still coming to this site to see if you are around?
Just changing your name won't work. I just googled your old SN and a bunch of posts where you were paged popped up. All of your responses show up the same, just with your new name. They'll still be able to find you, just with your new name.
I used that screenname for almost everything. They were googling to see what I was talking about on another site. I changed it to be safe. Besides I saw a post today where someones MIL made a SN here and pretended to be pregnant just to see what her DIL was saying about her. I just didn't want my name in my SN anymore.
Ouch. Christmas at their house is going to be fun this year.
