Oo oo....I know....

Because columbus is awesome

[JTB11 1,079]

Errrmm, why Columbus?

I guess that implies that there might be someone tagging along.

that was when I got here...about 2 or 3 months in when a lot of things happened but then I also looked into a hotel room and tickets to any country I could think of that would have me...don't wanna get into it

Steve's answer is way better though

[SAT 9,609]

Hmmm, I hooked up with someone from Columbus once, that was interesting in a bad way.

-------

Unrelated: well f me, I've got the estrogen levels of a 10 year old girl. Every time one of these later test results gets released, it is not good. Supposedly related to prolactin, though.

I feel kind of weird about it, because my husband and I decided long ago that if there were problems with both of us that we wouldn't proceed.

but now that you know....you are not sure about not going forth with it all ? You clearly want it bad enough to go thru all of this...

and since I know nothing about hormone levels...how bad is this...like, is there still a chance ?

unrelated:

Steve posted dinner pics...not sure I could eat that lol

Any news about your thyroid, that one seems to be also inline with the other two? If it's all just hormones it could be an easy fix though.

Off to look at PB

Some of that looks pretty but I wouldn't touch it

I need to know what all of it is first...the thing that is shiny and is not chopped up...could not eat that I dont think. lol

Thyroid levels 2 weeks ago were not absolutely bad, bad for fertility specialist's sake, but low enough for general purposes, they have gone high before, though.

but now that you know....you are not sure about not going forth with it all ? You clearly want it bad enough to go thru all of this...

It was when I was 15, so long ago, but definitely a weird experience.

Not known yet how bad, but I think it is correctable, but how many drugs do I need to pump myself with, yah know? I seem to be going through daily life just fine without them. We also are concerned with the Panda effect of creating offspring who can't reproduce naturally, especially given that I am a clomid+trigger+progesterone baby (if only it was just clomid for us).
