I have looked through the list of side effects on my gonal-f and menopur medications and have come to the conclusion that there are a few warnings that they have neglected to include.
WARNING: Attending meetings with a room full of men who insist on having pissing contests over unimportant details not even relevant to the meeting may cause great discomfort to the point of wanting to snap all their necks just to stop their mindless babble.
WARNING: Sitting next to a pregnant officemate who moans and sighs at every move she makes, asks her baby questions and answers what baby thinks, and complains that her pants are not fitting anymore for 45 hours a week may cause emotional stress beyond your wildest nightmares.
WARNING: Driving in L.A. traffic is just simply not recommended. Clearly all other drivers are complete morons.
WARNING: Living near homes of teenagers who are out of school for the summer and have nothing better to do than "hang out" outside all night on a weeknight while their parents are gone may cause insomnia induced rage.
So, my friends, if you see a crazy, short, dark-haired, blue-eyed, hormone-induced woman in the news sometime this weekend because she snapped, you can smile and say, "I know her." Promise to post my bail?

We went in for our 2nd follicle check today and things are still progressing slowly. There were 10 follicles in the 8-11mm range after 7 days of stims. Dr. K. said he is not concerned at all though. There are a good number of follicles and they are all about the same size - they're just taking their own sweet time to kick it in gear. Estradiol was 589 and lining was 10.3mm. Med dosages stayed the same with the addition of Ganirelix starting on Sunday to prevent premature ovulation. As most of you know, the Lupron was doing this job, but got the boot for working overtime and keeping my ovaries too sleepy. Next appointment is on Monday barring any unforeseen weekend hormonal incidents.

Why do people do that when they get pregnant? I told myself, if i ever do get pregnant, i'll not complain once about it. BRING ON THE MORNING SICKNESS!!! BRING IT ON! *still hanting and hoping*
Just came back from watching SATC and u know what Charlotte said about that whole adoption thingy. So, I whispered twice to babes (yeah, he was forced to watch it with me), I KNEW SHE WAS GONNA SAY THAT!, CRAP OF BULLSHIT! and babes whispered SHOOSH! U'RE EMBARRASSING ME!! WTF? other than that, i enjoyed the show! :)
At least you can blame it on the hormones. I feel that way all too regularly, and I'm not stimming!
Good luck with the cycle.
I think these events would drive anyone crazy, so I think you must be doing great on the stims!!! But if you were to act on these things, I think you have a valid defense.
I think your follies are doing great, and I hope you get tons of super quality eggs. Good luck!
Your follies are doing great - hope everything goes even better at your appointment on Monday.
I would want to scream at all those people/situations you mentioned, too. (Especially the pg coworker - I had one that complained about her m/s to me. I actually let her have it and said how grateful I would be to have m/s. Well, not that I want to be sick, but you know what I mean! That made her stop for oh, about 5 minutes, and then she was back to the normal complaining. They don't get it.)
Good luck at Monday's appt - sounds like you have quite a few growing!
I hope you get all good news on Monday! Hang in there as you endure the irritating people around you. Bleah.
You are so funny!! What an enjoyment to read.
Ok, it's bad enough that she's pg AND she didn't have the respect to tell you ... but to have two sided conversations with baby? Man, how I wish this girl knew the WWWebSphere was getting this embarrassing news on her ... maybe she'd wise up! and grow a heart of compassion.
Ok, well you're almost there and your follies sound wonderful and responsive!
... now, try to stay home this weekend ... I can't spare any of my fertility drug money to spring you from the joint!
I hope you're having a hormonally-calm weekend! But those things would push me close to over the edge even without the addition of extra hormones, so don't feel bad. Hope Monday's update will be even better!
I'm not above bitch slapping a self-involved, whiny-ass pg woman upside the head. Just let me know. :-)
I'm glad the FedEx trick worked out for ya! Anything we can do to make this road more convenient definitely helps.
Looking forward to Monday's follicle report.
Your post had me rolling! I don't quite get the whole complaining while you're pregnant thing either. I have a friend at work (who just happens to sit on the other side of the cubicle) who is pregnant with twins. She is diabetic so, for obvious reasons, there are some major issues. But, ALL she does is complain about how she feels, about her blood sugar, about how she didn't sleep, about how her husband didn't make her french fries for dinner...
OMG - I wanna jump over the cubicle wall and strangle her sometimes!
I think you've got a multi-million dollar lawsuit on your hands there. How irresponsible of the drug companies to not warn people! I don't know if I can afford bail, but I can send you cookies on a weekly basis.
Looks like your stims are going well! Yay!!
Grow follicles grow! I like your warning labels, so true so true. Those events sound dreadful and I will surely post your bail if you need to take some action. As far as the pregnant lady talking publically to her stomach and answering it, I think I would have shot her. (Am I weird that even though our IVF worked, I still find most pregnant women annoying?) I sit at OB appointments and see pregnant women in the waiting room and I am so annoyed by many of them, maybe I have some issues, LOL! Hope you're having a great weekend and an even greater appointment Monday!
yeah sounds like stims are going good woo hoo! Hope tomorrow brings even better news.
what losers those people are...I would have to say to the preg whack job especially about talking to her baby and ANSWERING what a piece of work!
xoxoxox
ohmigod, your coworker takes the cake. Good luck today.
Hi Lost, I'm back to say thanks for your input re: starting the Clomid. I was actually leaning towards not going for it, but DH said let's do it...so any ill effects will be blamed on him! Jk. :)
Hang in their. Slowly but surely those follies are responding.
Love you added side effects, all of them are quite true.
You mean it takes drugs to make you that emotional? Maybe I should look into anger management? ;)
LOL! I think they should definitely add your list to the warning label. :)
Congrats on the great follies!! Fingers crossed that they all remain compliant and grow nicely together.
Heh. Those should absolutely be included on the warning labels.
Sounds like you have a darling, patient husband.
So hoping those follies grow for you! Am hoping the new protocol brings you the desired results.
