I started stims last night. Eeek! I had a rough night sleeping afterwards. Not sure really why. Hopefully tonight is better! I have monitoring on Monday so hopefully I will know more then about when ER/ET will be (projecting later next week).
QOTW: I could really give or take a twinkie. That is all.
Hey cycle buddy! I slept like crap last night too...terrible hot flashes and restless. I was a zombie all day - definitely hope tonight is better for both of us!
Hey there! TMI, but I had painful gas all night. Hopefully we both have better nights tonight!

Hey all, sorry I'm late to the party! I had my first monitoring yesterday & the nurse told me I won the prize for biggest follicles of the day lol. Im on day 6 of stims, started ganerelix last night and the doxycycline is making me feel like Im gonna barf at any second. Ugh!
Funny note though, my boss just walked in on me shooting up. I'm a NICU nurse & we have a private room with a bathroom that we use for parents learing to take care of their baby at home. Its also the only place in the unit where a gal can get some privacy. So I took the key & locked myself in, not thinking anyone would bother me. Well....my boss has her own set of keys. The look on her face was pretty priceless.
About the twinkies, Im not a huge fan, but still sad about it. I'm more sad about the ding dongs & ho hos.

Had a monitoring appointment this morning and my left ovary was hiding (like it ALWAYS does, of course) so they had to do some digging around. I really hadn't had much discomfort (currently on day 7), but since they my left ovary is definitely feeling it, and my right one isn't that happy either.
