A few random things in my head.

1. The 19 year old niece is ~not~ pregnant. Moron. She announced it to everyone without taking a test. She was "late" and assumed it. MORON. I bought her a box of 48 condoms, complete with spermicide, and sent them to her in an envelope with no note. Is she more off or more on? I know. More on. Moron.

2. My belly hurts like a mutha. And I ~know~ all those follies can do it. But my point here is why the &*$*(# didn't I get this tender feeling until 12 hours before the u/s showed no growth, where I already HAD 10 follies ranging from 10-13mm? I'll get to the bottom of it tomorrow. I'm sticking with my theory that it's the dying of the extra, non mature follies that hurt. Not that growth of the maturing ones.

3. I'm so proud of myself. I commented on ~pregnancy~ blogs today. Big step.

4. I'm going to go to boston. I need to make a business trip soon, so tomorrow I plan to get the plan with my RE. If we are going to IVF "next" cycle, I need to know when that will start. Isn't there a month of bcp involved in IVF?

5. I don't know how I am going to survive without advil. I have a back injury (nerve damage in my facet joint) from childbirth. For 2 years, I have been taking advil at least 3 times a day - usually in 800mg. No, I don't have a bleeding ulcer. My doc said as long as my belly doesn't hurt (not including this follie death pain), to feel free to take it. So, I have an appointment tomorrow at 6:45am (yes, in the morning) with my pain management doctor to figure out if there is anything else besides tylenol that can help. And I don't want a narcotic. But apparently that is the only thing I can take safely while ttc and if I ever actually get pregnant. Weird. But we'll see.

6. My belly hurts beyond belief. Really. Follie death pangs. FDPs. Gotta be.

7. I have a bajillion things to do today. And it's snowing. So that means I don't want to drive to work. Not that I don't want to drive in the snow, no problem with that. And really, there is barely any snow out there. But, people here drive like turtles when there is a dusting of snow and I don't want to deal with it.

8. Hi Laurel.

9. Running out of things but want to make it to 10.

10. I'm going to listen to punk rock today. Nothing sad. Like coldplay. I don't even like coldplay. Really. I got the new Shellac. And a new (to me) yeah yeah yeahs. And some ~old~ PJ Harvey. Oh, and the new lemonheads. Not punk rock. But lemonheads. I used to love the lemonheads.
