Sam... I can't stop laughing but equally feeling bad for you... but could it be that theirs started out the same and that it tones down with time or something??
So my body has sucked up its first bag of steroids and it was easy peasy. Didn't feel sick or anything (they said I wouldn't but I was still nervous). I did very suddenly have a horrid taste in my mouth and this is apparently quite normal and I did get stuck with buddy boy (the nurse) making me stay in the living room with him. It was a very interesting conversation with him saying something in Arabic to - me that I didn't understand a word of - while pointing at the couch and me speaking to him in English (although he doesn't understand a word of that but because I couldn't think how to say it in Arabic) and pointing at my bedroom door.
He won out. At first I thought that because it was ramadan he felt uncomfortable coming into my bedroom when it's just us in the flat but afterwards I understood.
Should have clicked when I saw that there was no pole on which to hang the IV bag.
He pinned it to my living room curtain!!! he wanted me to sit near the curtain. then he laughs and says "this is how we do it in Syria".
I couldn't help but laugh along with him.
Only problem being I didn't realise he was putting the needle in for the duration (3 days). I'd have given him my left hand if I'd realised rather than having this great big plastic bolt-like thing sticking out the back of my right hand!
Juanna, hope you're doing okay. Any news from your end?
Evie, good luck!!

I'm here (finally)
Appt went well..... u/s results: 5 follies on left (along with BIG cyst) and 11 on the right, all are measuring between 7 to 9, with the exception of 2..... one on each side is a little over 10.
Waiting on bloodwork, but so far so good..... my left side is a little sore from the u/s tech poking a little to hard at the cyst area.... stupid wench....
On a grumpier note.... we just had 80 ft. in lenght of cedar fencing put up in our back yard (our neighbor did the same last year) and we wanted to have it done to match. I went and bought the waterproofing/weatherproofing sealent (the same stuff as they used) and started to apply it yesterday..... Well..... let me tell you..... not all sealent is made the same because IT IS NOT THE SAME!!! Our beautiful golden cedar fence now looks RED!!! Granted they bought the stuff by the can, and we bought a 5 gallon bucket of the same stuff.....
I sort of like it, but once I started there was no turning back.... dh comes home and looks at the fence and goes WTF?! It is NOT the same (no sh!t) He asks me if I like it..... well you tell me..... after spending 3 hours brushing on this stuff and getting all the lattice corners and having hands cramps from he!! and fighting the mosquitos and fighting devil dog to not chew up my stir sticks and yelling at the little dog to not roll in the spilled sealer..... DO I LIKE IT?! At this point it could have been purple and I would have liked it!

I am on cd7 of my cycle we are doing our first cycle of clomid and iui. I have an appt. on monday to see how many follies i have and to check my estrogen level. I really hope this works because the waiting drives me insane. The reason we are having this done is my dh have some sperm issues and he feel really sad about it. But He is happy that nothing is wrong with me. We had 3 m/c last year and that has me worried alot even if we do get pregnant.
So let me get this straight... Sam, you sent Savanha a FISH?? In the mail??? hee hee... I think that's classic!
Savanha, what's with the fast? God... I am SO out of touch!!
But ditto to what Krista and Sal have said... you are one wacky lady and are much loved for it!
Sal... why the steroids? For the anti-nuclear Antibodies? Or because of the lupus? sorry... just confused. but I'm guessing not because of the lupus. So, what? Does that actually FIX the antibody problem or does it counteract it while the embies are trying to implant or what?
So much for me saying the testing is all a load of ****!!!
I'm like a frigging pendulum, one minute I believe my doctors that I really don't need to test for anything and the next i want to go out and do every test known to man.
K... well, I'd best go get my day started as my friendly, neighbourhood, no-English, IV-weilding man will be showing up soon!

Savahna.. You are a nut case!!! Love it!!!
Ok, Here's what I got going, y'all.
So, I told y'all I was diagnosed with MTHFR.. which I really wanted some Levonox for. and then I was diagnosed with Lupus.. big deal, don't care. And I cancelled my appt. today with my hematologist b/c he wasn't going to give me Levonox and I left a nasty message with his nurse telling him I would NOT see a rheumotologist b/c I have no symptoms and since he won't give me Levonox, I wasn';t going to see him anymore.
I mean, what's the point, right? Welllll... he calls me this evening and reams me a new as=s h=o=le. He starts telling me how dumb I am and that I'm in "grave danger" of not ever carrying a baby to term, blah blah blah. Well.. seems like I tested high for ANA's(Anti Nuclear Antibodies).. which is NOT GOOD for fertility. Leads to reocurring m/c's , etc..
It means my body is probably attacking any embryo's that want to transplant in my body. So, it's not a cool thing, right?
Long story short, I was scared straight into going to a Rheumatologist and now I have to deal with some serious auto-immune cra=p. Good lord, this is so irritating.
And like Magda, I will probably be taking a steroid for quite some time. Grrr.... I just want some frikkin meds that will help me carry a baby to term. HOW MANY GD DOCTORS DOES IT TAKE TO SCREW IN A LIGHTBULB (OR HELP ME KEEP A BABY). Ok, sorry for the rant.. im just fed up.
