Syrreal, the best 2ww is in WDW.
scifihippie, I've been taking pictures of everything and saving everything, too. Especially the little dishes where my embryos were.

I don't know we feel the need for the reminders....I doubt we'll ever forget, but for some reason it seems important to have the reminder. Plus, when they're 17 and being PITAs, we'll have more than the "I was in labor with you for 36 hours...." speech.

(I'm just kidding...I have no intention of laying guilt trips on my future children.

)
2bemarried, it's important to maintain a sense of humor.

Today, DH has to go to Wal-Mart to get me my New Cycle Socks. I buy 2 new packs of socks for every new cycle. If I'm going to spend every day in stirr-ups, I want my socks to be clean. I have a LOT of socks.

I always get my hair cut before my retrieval surgery. I need to look good in my johnny, brown hospital socks, and surgical bonnet.

Today is your DH's surgery, right? I hope everything goes well. Just remember, with ICSI, you only need one per egg. So, whatever they can find is good enough.
Lisa, I'm sorry about AF showing.

Has your doctor said what would be next when you wanted to move on from this set of procedures? I lost my Nana, too. I was her only grandchild and missed out on the chance of making her a great-grandmother. When do you go back to see your doctor?
Kahana, I think 2 is a good age to start TTC #2. My good friend is 30 weeks pregnant with her 2nd and her son is only 15 months now. She says she wished she waited because he's a lot of work all of a sudden.

Plus, getting pregnant in August makes sure you won't be huge in the heat of summer while carting around a toddler. Good time.
Rachael, when you see a jump in temperature, you've already ovulated. What that temperature is will vary based on each person, so if you go from, say, 97.4, 97.3, 97.5, 97.3 to 97.9, 98.0, 97.8, 98.2, chances are you ovulated right before the 97.9 temperature. Mine always ran low because I get up early. It gets easier when you have a few months of charts to show a pattern. Hopefully, if it doesn't happen, by month #4, you'll see that you usually ovulate around day 16 or day 17....hopefully, you'll see a pattern where you have it pinned down within a couple of days.
I got some kind of blood blister from my injection last night.

I'm only 5 days into it and my poor stomach is already rebelling.
I found a great, healthy meal. I want to eat the Stonyfield Farm yogurt because it's all natural. But, sometimes it tastes pretty bland and the cup is small and it doesn't really satisfy for a meal like breakfast. This morning, I added some Old Fashioned Quaker Oats to it. It added some bulk, added some iron and protein and fiber, and it added a little "kick" to the taste.
