Jenni I usually don't answer your Snippy comments because I try to give you grace. But no one is following you around. I am always going to answer by what I know about stAndard protocol. I'm sorry if that offends you but I'm not going to stop doing that. People are free to choose protocol or to try something else. I certainly don't care what someone chooses to do. It is their body. But I will always let them know what is protocol.
No Colleen, not being snippy, being completely honest and open which is something I have always been since I started on this board last December. You're the one that has been snippy and to be quite honest the comments I get from people is why does Colleen need to be the center of attention.
Try giving other people a chance to respond. Maybe if you would give more grace to some of the others on the board instead of chiming in on every single post coming across as an expert and not always jumping on people because it "isn't on protocol" people wouldn't feel they have to whisper things to me and others. Like I've said several times in the past 8 months, just back off and give other people a chance to answer.
And yes, you have been following me around, too many people have noticed for it to be only me noticing.
How about we just ignore each other...that always works well when people don't get along don't you think?
Yow...I have to agree with hopin4success...Ya'll please don't fight (see? You made the Texan in me come out..LOL). I like the both of you very, very much & there's room on this forum for everyone's opinions & the sharing of all experiences. I am learning from both of you (along with all the others). I appreciate having a very straightforward, no-frills accounting of the protocol, as it is stated in P&I, because, honestly, I admire the guy, but the way he writes makes me feel like I'm reading stereo instructions or a medical journal...Just put it in black & white & don't make me have to search for it again, later, if I forget some of it (that's where this forum SHINES...ya'll quote Dr. S. so much, I don't have to bother going back & trying to find where I read something.
And, conversely, I like seeing the rogue side of things, too. I haven't begun yet, & am terrified to do anything off protocol yet, but I like knowing what has worked for other people, in case I do, at some point, have to tweak it. I'd rather tweak with a rogue tip than an all-out cheat.
Like I said, there's room on here for everyone's thoughts on the wonderful subject of hCG. You are both wonderful, expressive, strong women, & I would feel a great loss, through this protocol, if I couldn't bounce my questions & stuff off of BOTH of you.
