The calm before the storm

My last post feels like forever ago even though it was only a week. Last week was super busy and a bit stressful at work. I have a ton of projects right now and one is about to kick in to super busy mode. I am quite scared actually. Its a really big deal project for me and could make or break whether I get promoted in December. I feel excited about the project but also feel like I am going to crap my pants just thinking about the amount of work to be done/manage. August will be insanely crazy and I will be potentially be 4-8 weeks pregnant (assuming this cycle works)! Yikes.

Cycle-wise things are going along. Today is day 12 and I finished my Clomid on Friday. Today I start peeing on the OPK stick until that beautiful smiley face shows up. Last cycle I would POTS (pee on the stick) first thing in the morning (per my doctors orders) however, after reading lots of helpful posts/info from all of you (and other Nesties) I feel more comfortable with the accuracy by doing it in the afternoon this time around. However, that requires me to POTS at work. I am really bad at literally peeing on the stick and usually have to pee into a receptacle of sorts and then dip the stick. So I brought a J.ello pudding snack to work and I will eat it, clean the cup, and later this afternoon use it to assist with my peeing.

Thanks for the info re: the monitoring. I did not even end up asking for it because work was so busy last week that I never called the doctor to ask for it. I will call her today to ask about the progesterone as I need to get a prescription for that and figure out when to start taking it.

I have been reading everyones' blogs I just haven't had much time for posting. (Thank god for the Black,berry and the morning/evening commute, nice blog reading time!). I did want to send some positive thoughts out to Chell who is growing a city of eggs and dealing with some awful OHSS. I hope your retrieval goes well tomorrow and that everything works out ok with the fluid/sickness.
