Lisa, sometimes a break is good. Although, you reach a point where you want to DO something.
Jen, I'm so happy things are going smooth for you. The 12th will be here soon. Not soon enough, I know.
Any news on the job? Have you told work yet?
Michelle, did you get Pregnyl or the generic form of Pregnyl? Two vials that you have to mix? That's a pain. I always get a rash from it - a big burn-like welt. So, if you get one of those, don't be alarmed.
Mine likes to crawl into my belly button. I would think 50mg of Clomid would be good for you.....we don't need 7 follicles.
Nicole, I think the Metformin is making me miserable because I have stomach problems anyway. I don't get diarrhea all that often. I think that is because I am on a stomach medication that eases intestinal spasms. My problems are nausea and heartburn. This isn't ordinary heartburn - it's my entire system on fire. Is there a low carb plan on WW? You need to be on a low carb plan - sort of like the South Beach Diet. Not Atkins, because there is too much fat. I found that I can eat YoBaby Yogurt - the little 4oz tubs and the smoothies. I can eat apples, grapes, and cherries. I can eat eggs - cheese omelet or eggs with a vegetable like peppers and mushrooms. I've been shopping in the organic section of the supermarket because the organic milled sugar doesn't bother me. Wheat doesn't either, so I'm able to eat half of an organic burrito or some organic wheat toast. I can eat Pastina. I can eat Lentils....sometimes I add some Pastina to the Lentils.
I have to eat tiny amounts every 3-4 hours. If I eat too much, I get the burning. If I don't eat every 3-4 hours, I get light headed from low blood sugar. Did you start on a low dose? I started on 500mg and now I'm on 1,000mg. She doesn't want me to go higher than that, but I know lots of people are on higher doses. If you're going to experiment with food - do it at home!
I got my blood drawn - finally. My RE's DH drove it to the lab himself to hand deliver it. She was a bit shocked about my weight loss. I know my clothes are big, but since I see myself every day, it doesn't jump out at me. I haven't seen her in a month so it was a little unsettling for her. She wants me to eat more. Duh.
I got an update on the twins. They have ear infections. One was breathing on her own, but it made her tired, so they put her on a ventilator so she didn't wear herself out breathing. So far, they're making it. She got a steroid shot, which is supposed to mature their lungs and brains rapidly. So, the doctors say their lungs and brains were really 29w3d old. Technology is amazing. It helps those of us who might never have babies and it helps babies who would otherwise not make it.
I've tried pointing out to him that we're going to have health insurance no matter what because we have to keep that going, and the vast majority of baby supplies we'll need we will be able to borrow from friends and family. Heck, the folks I do childcare for have already told me that they are saving all their big baby stuff for us and they'll hang on to it for 5 years if needed. I know there's always extra expenses, but we do have savings. I think he's just worried about what will happen when I'm no longer doing childcare and my income is gone. Oh well. Just when I'd had him persuaded...
You can always use the italian to go to Italy on a babymoon
