Because it allll comes back to ME, right?!
But seriously, there is a lot of good news in the blogosphere recently and I know you’ve grown accustomed to me whining, bitching, complaining and describing in waaaay too much detail my bodily functions, but today?
I have decided to share some good news.
Three lucky and deserving women have gotten those elusive BFPs in the last couple of days, so head on over there and wish ’em well:
The lovely and brilliant Faith, the riotously funny Vanessa and the hysterically clever Susan. Yay ladies, I wish you all the best and just want to say CONGRATULATIONS on your good news!
And me? Well, today I went to the pharmacy to pick up the Lupron and the goody bad of needles and alcohol swipes.
(PS, couldn’t I just LICK one of those before the shot to dull my senses??)
One of the pharmacists brought me into a little private room to go over everything (which my regular pharmacy does not have, thus the public humiliation of last week). But hanging above her head was this giant photograph of three tiny babies… swimming! UNDERWATER! Just hanging out, chilling, like it was the most common thing on earth.
It was so weird…it looked a little like this.
Go on, take a peep:
Isn’t that odd? What the frick are those crazy babies up to anyway? Like thanks for the nipple, Ma, I waited my thirty minutes and now I’d like to go for a dip?
I just don’t get it. It kind of freaked me out, to tell you the truth.
But anyway, my real point in posting is to convey my heartfelt congrats to the lucky ladies who received good news. May you have healthy pregnancies, and healthy and happy babies.
And if they want to go swimming while totally naked, well then, good luck with that, too.
I always respect those privacy lines at the pharmacy counter but unfortunately other people don’t. I hate talking to the pharmacist about personal things and there’s always some creepy guy close behind. He’s probably not a normally creep man but to me he is super creepy. ANYWAY, I know what you are feeling.
Swimming babies are so freaking odd.

Thank you so much love… It still doesn’t feel real. Maybe after our 1st u/s which is 2 1/2 weeks away… another long 2ww… does it ever end 🙂
I’m so excited that your cycle is off the ground…. when do you start the lupron? I hope you call and e-mail me w/ all you’re going through. I hope my experince can help someone… Either way I’ll be talking to you… soon!

um, so are we supposed to start blogging about other people? and not whinning? thats just a frightening thought.
Hey, thanks!
I have three words for you… MAIL ORDER PHARMACY.
I just blogged about all the good news today, it’s so awesome but I still feel like the nerdy kid that’s not picked for the teams coz they’re uncoordinated and nobody likes them… 🙁
But hey, at least I’m still in good company!
I hope that all of these lovely ladies are just paving the way for those of us just starting our cycles. It will work that way, right?!?
I’m with the Oneliner. You mean we can’t bitch about bodily functions anymore????
Absolute chaos. Up is down. Down is up… dogs and cats, sleeping together… ACK!!!
Ugh. Ick. Thank god there’s no pharmacy visit for MEEEEE… gettin’ MY meds delivered via mail order. Oh YEAH.
You have TOTALLY taken one for the team. Right up there with Smarshy.
WOO HOO LUPRON!!!!
Um, you’re probably not going to want to lick the alcohol wipes. But here’s a better idea: How about we invent and market “The Vodka Patch.” Sort of like an estrogen patch, but with vodka. You can stick one on (discreetly, under your clothes) for those occasions (like baby showers, visits with your mom, or picking up IVF meds at the pharmacy) when you know you’ll REALLY need a drink, but that swigging aggressively from a big plastic bottle of Popov’s just won’t cut it.
What do you think? Are you in?
Perhaps you could get a couple of the awesome posters from despair.com – take a look, they’re hysterical!
I can’t wait to see what sort of google hits you get from “go swimming while totally naked”.

I love you so much I’d give you a kidney.
Or some of those arm floatie things, those look useful right about now.
Hey Watson – I think the person who took that picture should be in jail! I wonder if those babies made it.
Anyway, I can’t help you catch pregnancy, but if you are hankerin’ to catch something, I’d be happy to have The Buggins send you some pink eye…just let me know. Happy to help.
That baby picture reminds me of the cover of Nirvana’s album, “Smells like Teen Fever” (I used to be a bit of alternative music junkie in the early 90s in high school). Except that was just one baby. Didn’t think I’d ever see anything like that again.
You didn’t know that babies can be taught to swim? It’s really cool, actually. Babies are born with the reflexes to do it, and if you start them before about 6 months, they will hold their breath and swim like little fishies.
Well I have no idea what took me so long, but I finally found you. Serenity led me here – another thing I need to thank her for. You are a freakin’ riot!
Enjoy your pharmacopoeia, and good luck!

good luck with the lupron. i had no problems with it at all, and i tend to be very sensitive to meds. hope it is as easy for you! and i will add to others’ recommendations of online pharmacies. i love schraft’s.com. they’ve been fantastic for me and saved me lots of $$.
those swimming babies scare me a little.
Hope the drugs are going well….I’ll be right behind you soon, so c’mon keep the commentary coming 🙂
