Embryo Transfer Experience

Jan 24,

At the hospital, my transfer was at 9:50am. Hubby and I arrived at the clinic 8:35 and we were waiting in the lobby. I signed another documents again just the usual protocol stuff. Later, I was called in. MS greeted me when I entered the room, she took some vitals and I don't even remember my blood pressure, temperature and pulse because I was so anxious for my embies. Then I took off my clothes waist down and hubby wore his hospital suits too. While waiting, I drank my Gatorade as MS instructed me to. There is a specific time when to drink it and when I was told to that it's time, I drank it with all my might. Heheee. No, it wasn't that hard. I was thirsty anyway but an hour past, there goes the full bladder lol... But all worth it. Bladder should be nice and big to be able to see the uterus.

After a time when my time is almost near, DR J and Embryologist L came to report the progress of our embies. So the only two we have make it. I was so happy. I prayed so hard for them. Hubby signed up documents from the embryologists while we also did ask few questions to the DR J. I only asked if it's painful. I am just traumatized with all the needles, blood tests and bruising that I get so I want to be ready and to expect pain. She just said no and I said if it's like doing insemination and she said Exactly. Great!

Waited for 5 minutes and then we walked to the OR. Embryologist L paved us the way to see our little babies through a microscope. I said my prayers in silence to them. They are so tiny but I am so happy to see them for real. Hubby did see them too and then Nurse M told me it's time. She assisted me to step to the bed. Their bed manners are really fantastic. They properly make me feel comfortable. Hubby was on my right and then later on the DR J did her part cleaning and making sure every apparatus is ready. I saw how my embies released in the uterus. Amazing. How tiny there were and I was teary eyed. Despite all the pressure with the apparatus and legs apart with all my goodness bare out in the room, it disappeared. Achieving to this stage is all worth it.

The transfer was a success. We have 2 embies in my belly right now. We have 8b and 5c. It's good enough for us considering they are able to fight for mommy and daddy to multiply. I am praying for them to be with me healthy until 9 months. As of now I am happy, that they are already safe back to me.

It was fast and they wheeled me to the recovery room at 10:16. Waited for 15 minutes to be over and peed after. Having a full bladder is crazy but I no longer complaint about it. What matters is it's over. I have accomplished what we are hoping for.

I will be staying for a week in bed rest. Hubby doesn't want me to take risk doing something in the house. So going to work it's not an option right now. He wants me to take time. After all what I have been going through this is much more important. I understand how hard it is to wait for this day to come. Good news is we finally conceive and the waiting has just begun.

Egg Retrieval Experience

(Wrote 12:13)

I just came home from the retrieval. I'm woozy at this time and tired. I don't feel any pain yet under so I hope it will stay that way. The only complaint I have is my left vein arm from the IV.

I arrived at the clinic 7:20. Sign documents and proceed to the surgical department where the nurse instructed me. I was in bed 4 near the bathroom. There was one patient ahead of me on my left and I only heard them whispering in the background nor not paying on their conversation. Ms my first nurse have me asked questions medical protocol and consent signing as we'll with hubby. Later the embryologist came with a laptop and asked if I had reviewed the papers last night and I told her I read a few and might well show us the PowerPoint for clear explanation on the clinical study abot eEva. So what it means is that they will going to monitor the embryos on petrish dish. In one scope it has 12 dish and in every 5 mins they will going to check how it's progressing. It was a cool study so we wanted to participate. It's free and requirement is to have at least 4 for monitoring. I hope I will be a candidate pls lord. I want to see them.

After all the presentation another nurse l came. She will be my nurse in the operating room. Before we went to the OR she assisted me to go to the bathroom to pee. Then after that I went in to the OR.

Inside the OR I saw 2 doctors. On my left dr h and on right nurse l. She put all 3 stats on my chest. Seconds after I don't recall anything. All I know I was dizzy like a head spin and that's it I was gone.

I woke up with Ms voice checking on me and then she got hubby at the waiting area. He came and sat to a chair on my left. After I heard dr A voice informing how many eggs he retrieved. All I just heard was 3. I was not really happy. After knowing that I have my blood pressure on my right I remember I'm already in the recovery room. Then dr h came in to check again How I was doing and that time I can barely know where I am.

I tried to sleep and after I already I'm awake. I asked hubby about the eggs. He said we have 14. Nine matured and 5 small ones. It's grade 3 and that what was they are hoping. Then nurse m take off my IV, went to the bathroom put a pad and minutes later  home feed up by hubby with soap, crackers and Gatorade.

ER today

It's 6:34am right now I'm prepared while I'm waiting for hubby to get out from the shower and dressed. I'm anxious. I'm not as bloated as many would have felt. Maybe my pineapple juicing helped me and my fruits intake for the past 2 weeks. Though I already have pain on my back and ovaries. Think they are just ready.

I will update you all what happened today after my surgery. So for some notes, I got a call from the surgical department. They told me to wear loose clothing, buy Gatorade, no scented products, no medication, no eat and drink after midnight and expect sore bloat. I wonder why I didn't bloat that much maybe because I have been wearing most of the time pjs where it's very comfy lol. But I am so thirsty to the highest level. I also will be doing some consent signing about taking videos and photos of my embryos yay at 7:20. I will have something to keep. Cross fingers for me.

7th night of Stimming



(wrote it last night)
I am feeling sick again. My sore throat is just not what I am hoping while I am on stimming. I thought I already passed and survive the virus attack that happened to me at end of December and beginning of January but it reappeared in a different form. Gush! I took Tylenol before 6pm I want to get rid of this pain. It helped It gave me a little more energy.  And I think it help my throat somewhat.

30 minutes ago I had my 6 night shot of 5u of lupron, 175 of follistim and 1 vial of Menopur. I was in pain. I let hubby inject the shot above where I had my big bruise. And it was painful. I really don't know why it was so painful on that side. Maybe my left side just doesn't work for shots. I will going to skip that in the days ahead.

Day 6 stimming/ Dr’s visit /E2

I feel great except my throat. I get sore throat from the reaction to the red delicious apple I ate on Tuesday afternoon. I have very sensitive throat and I didn’t know apple would give me that effect. I tried not to take anything but it got worst yesterday. So I took Cepacol and cough drops last night. This morning I took another cough drops again because my itchy throat is bugging me. I can’t help it. Then I was embarrassed at the doctor’s waiting area when my throat suddenly itch. Grrrrh! Do you know how it feels like? When the place is quiet and you don’t want to disturb other people’s peace of mind but there you are creating this noise, so frustrating. I can’t help it. I tried to clear my throat. To prevent from embarrassing myself more, I grabbed my headphone turned on my ipod touch and listen to classical music. I searched on my purse if I have cough drops and halleluiah I found one. Thank goodness..

I was called 15 minutes after my schedule. I greeted by the nurse and asked me if I’m doing okay and I told her that I have sore throat and feel a little congested. She asked if I have colds but I told her no. It’s just the throat that’s bothering me. Then she left and I got to undress from the waist down. 20 minutes later, the doctor came with his charming smile. Asked me the same thing if I feel okay and I told him the same thing I told the nurse. I told him that I took cepacol and cough drops and he said, it will not interfere on the medication so it’s okay. Thank goodness. Whatever makes me feel or help me relieve the pain, it’s fine that’s what he said.

So he did the scan quick.. Endo lining 10 and he said perfect. Right ovaries – 9 follicles ( sizes from 9-12 ), Left ovaries – 6 follicles ( 10-13 ). I think my left is slow. Maybe there are more eggs hiding in there. I hope they will come out soon. But they said, it’s better to have less eggs but good quality ones. I hope it will be my case. His thinking I will have another ultrasound on Saturday and perhaps on Sunday before trigger. He mentioned I might add one more day of medicine because he asked me if my supply is still okay during the weekend. I said yes. It supposed to be 10 days granted my dosage will be the same. If it will be less then adding one more day will be good. I cross my fingers. So there’s nothing much except I have a 13 on my follicle. I hope that’s a good number for day 6.

About my body’s reaction now, it still the same. I feel bloated and belly getting fuller and heavier. No heavy headache. But definitely tender breast and my energy level is getting low. All these hormones are making me lazy!

UPDATE:

Got a call from my nurse and my E2 level is 1,175. She said it's a very nice number. Recommended dosage lower my follistim to 175, menopur and lupron remain the same but they are looking at extending my medicine to one more day oh man! I don't want to hear that.. I am already tired of this medicine because it hurts.

I will go again tomorrow for blood test sometime between 7-9. I will go there early so that I won't be stuck in traffic. And we are looking at Saturday and Sunday ultrasound. Maybe Sunday trigger? I hope my numbers will be good in the next coming days so that I could not extend to one more day on meds.

Day 5 Stimming

I still have the same medication. I took my 5th shot last night. Hubby administer the shot but before that he prep the medicines while on my watch. There are things that he can't remember. Maybe overwhelm with all the 3 medicines infront of him. Normal time we do it from start to finish 8:15 to 8:45pm. From prep to inject, normal is 10 minutes. Sometimes hubby is very OCD so it could take him time lol..

Anyway, I could never get used to the shot. I am still having trouble with dealing on the pain. I don't handle pain so very well plus I have pain on both of my arms with a slight headache. It made me very tired yesterday. I didn't take tylenol but I used ice to calm the burning sensation on the medicine. I asked hubby for it because I had brutally bruised myself the other night. I only find out yesterday afternoon after work when I got to undress and saw my bruised belly. I really wish not to get one but maybe I bumped myself in the kitchen sink when I did the dishes the other night. I remembered I felt the pain that time but I was thinking it will not do anything. But what a surprise to see 2 bruises on my left belly. It looks ugly!

But anyway, for side effects. Day by day, my energy level is getting low. I feel like I am getting tired fast. My mood slightly changes a bit. I am becoming more moody and don't have patience. My breast are twitching, my abdomen is getting fuller and twitching too, slight heavy head and I feel so bloated. I know it's all worth it to suffer all this. This is my only chance. There will be no 2nd fresh cycle for me. We don't have the money for it. Even this cycle we already paid out of pocket. I hope God will hear my prayer.

1st ultrasound day 4 stimming

Blood drawn today at 7:50. I used my left arm since I already had it on my right yesterday. The worst nightmare my left arm didn't give out more so the nurse have to transfer on my right which she forewarned me that it will going to hurt. It hurt, damn! I can't get used to this feeling. I have never been this poked several times in a year. My tolerance for pain isn't that high. I am scared of pain actually especially needles. Oh my my! I know this is all worth it. God put me on to this because he know that I can pass this. I wish and pray that I will be rewarded.



Weight 119lbs
Ht 5'1
Bp 102/68
Temp 98.6
Pulse 78
Heart ok
Lung ok
Abdomen ok

Follicle scan: 15 estimate, as what I've seen the measurement sizes are ranging from 8-9

I snapped a shot shhhhh!

This is where the nurse assistant will encode all the data information.


Posted in the examination and bathrooms..

Update:

I got a call from my nurse after 2pm and she told me the good news that my E2 of 352 is nice and definitely increasing. When I talked to the doctor earlier this morning, he is expecting to be in the 300's. Yes baby! I am on it.

Medicine will still be the same tonight and tomorrow  ( 5U lupron, 225IU Follistim, 75IU Menopur ). Appointment will be on Thursday 1/16 at 10:30am. Praying I will be on the right tract.

I am feeling a little bloated now. Not too much but definitely I can feel that my ovaries are starting to grow. I am hoping that my follicles growth is nice and consistent. I wonder how the day will be on day 10 of stim. I am half way and my 5th shot will be tonight. Cross fingers tomorrow side effects!

This afternoon, my left arm is starting to bother me. The arm that made trouble on the blood test. The injection spot is a little painful. Starting to have a little heavy head. I hope it will go away soon. I am feeling like I am tired all of a sudden. I have breast tenderness but didn't bother me that much. Other than that, I think I am okay. I hope this pain in my arm will go away. Damn nurse, she should have not force it to draw blood.

2nd E2 Level Result

I received a phone call from my nurse. She gave me the result of 189. She said it's good. I still have to take the same medication, 5U Lupron 225Iu Follistim 75iu Menopur and 1cc of water. I am requested to come in tomorrow for E2, CBC and my first ultrasound after stim. Please pray for me that everything is good.

3rd day of Stimming



Last night was our third. Prepping and injecting the medicine is a breeze. I still watch hubby prepping since his not yet confident if he got it right. I want to make sure too that he didn’t forget anything. You will never know. Seeing all the injections and bottles and worrying about injecting it, you could somehow screwed up. Maybe he wants to make sure that everything is good. I am very on the spot of remembering things when it’s highly important and repetitive.

About the reaction to the medicine, I will be honest about it. It hurts. It  sting and it burns. But it’s only going to be in effect for about 5 minutes or less. I normally just lay still on the couch, relax my mind and just think positive so the pain will go away fast. It works all the time.

Some side effects.. I don’t think I have. Maybe starting to feel bloated? I tried to eat less carbs for the past few days too so that I could minimize the bloat and somehow I think it’s working. My breasts have twitches from right to left. I have CM already. And lastly, I have abdominal twitches too on both side.

I went in today to have my blood work done. I arrived at the clinic on time. The nurse was quick and stick the needle. It’s getting less painful now. Though I don't like the feeling of a needle being stuck to my veins. Now, is to wait for the result. I hope it’s okay.

2nd night on Stimming

Hubby prepped all the medicine while i was there beside him watching that he got it all. He was pretty good and I only reminded him few bits that he forgot. But overall he remembered. 


So the shot was injected at my left abdomen. I held my breathe as I can but when I felt the medicine, it stung and it burned. I got teary eyed. Its painful but I tried to focus on positive things on my mind and tried to relax my mind and focus less on the pain. It always work for me. 

About any symptoms or things that changed on my body, its the breast. I felt the throbbing last night on my left breast and the whole day my right breast started to be sensitive and throbbing. 

My stomach make noises too. I don't know if its the meds working or its just stomach air lol. Will see tomorrow if it still happening.

First Night of Stimming

Tonight is the night. I was anxious for this day to come. I wonder what could my first night would be with all 3 medicine.

Before we did the prep and all, with some good luck to our stomach lol. We went to an indian buffett. Eat some little healthy food to start. I didn't eat the mango ice cream that I love in the restaurant. I was thinking of really eating it before we get there but then I've remembered what I read about not to eat ice food during stimming or prior or whatever day it is. I have started doing it since Monday so my heart sank. I saw hubby enjoyed his meal with the yummy delicious mango ice cream. One day ice cream, I will get to you lol. 

So after dinner, came home and get to our business. I get all the supplies of needles and alcohol wipes then medicine. We were prepping the medicine on top of our kitchen table. He first asked about Menopur. Then suddenly he said, he forgot which comes first lol. Brain fart! No maybe his tense too lol. He just don't want to admit. Anyway, I grabbed my ipod touch and viewed youtube on one of the fertility facility that demo the menopur mix. I helped hubby to remember which one goes to the other and after he get it. Our dosage is 1 vial of Menopur and 1cc or 1ml of sodium chloride in short water. Later add in 5 units of Lupron then 225 of Follistim. Yes we did the mix. We studied last night on how to do the mix. Though it wasn't taught to us in class, many patients are already doing the mix of the 3 meds. Why would I suffer to get all 3 shots when I could get 1. Less pain and agony. 

After all medicine are ready to go, I laid on the couch. Pointed hubby where to inject and he stuck me twice. First was when he just touch the needle on my skin not even penetrating I already reacted lol. I was really thinking of so much pain when it's not even started. So he took the shot the 2nd time and I was breathing hard hubby told me not to but the medicine was a little painful so I was breathing on and off. The trick is to hold your breathe until all medicine are in but man I was a little bit of a drama queen. lol.. Tomorrow I will remember not to breathe and just relax my mind.


But you know what, though I was anticipating so much pain. It didn't hurt so much. I remembered my varicella shot last october, that was painful. I thought IVF meds can do the same but it didn't. Now my fears are gone. It's not so bad. All I want from now on is hoping my ovary can produce more and make good quality eggs and as well hope that hubby's production of spermies are good as well. 




11th Day of Lupron

I guess Lupron doesn't give me so much side effects. It means good right. There were only 2 things, pain on my left fingers and headache when AF appeared. Other than that, I feel fine.

My husband prep on Lupron is to put it on room temperature when he administer to inject the drug. It stung I tell you and the spot where it got injected always have a red mark. I only seen blood on the 7th night when we decided to inject in the center two inches from the naval. Maybe with less fat and all, it hurt.  I saw the dreaded blood. Just tiny spot though, not to get frantic about lol.

Nothing much to report on Lupron today actually. I think it's better with nothing than to complain about something.

E2 Level

I just got a phone call from Kim few minutes ago. She told me the good news that I am officially on the GO. Yay! I am so relieved. You don't know how much I have been waiting for this moment to be able to set things plan accordingly. Every sacrifices that I have made. All the worries of being turned down. Now, it's step 2.

So my Estradiol level result is 35. The doctor wanted it be under 60. I am so happy. I was instructed to do Lupron tonight at 10 units. Tomorrow will start on 5 units of Lupron, 225 Follistim and 1 vial of Menopur and 1ml of water.  I am supposed to be taking shot individually but I will not going to that route. I have read online and watch youtube about how to mix all medicine in one. I asked my husband about it and his okay with it. He knows I am already suffering from Lupron shots.

Until tomorrow!

Baseline Ultrasound

I woke up at 6:25am and hubby heard my alarm clock. He moved his hands towards my head and pat it. It's nice to start our day.

I went ahead took a shower and later waited for hubby to get ready. I heated up our breakfast food in the microwave that I cooked the night before, ate and left the house at 7:45am.

We arrived at the clinic at 8:10, checked in at the front desk and a few minutes later Kim showed up and greeted us. We were at consultation door 3 to sign our consent documents. It was a breeze. So we will be doing ICSI and 2 embryos for transfer. The rest of the documents are just making sure we signed for state purposes.

Then I went to door 2 for my ultrasound. I waited there for a bit. Maybe 15 minutes. I have my new ipod touch with me. So I took 2 photos inside. Just to make myself busy and such.
Oh yeah the magic wand!

This is my view, on my  right is the pc used by the assistant nurse.. i was lying half naked covering my business with this white thingy called examination cloth or bedikah cloth.  

Later, Dr. K knocked and greeted me with his smiling face. Doctor's scare me to hell but his a charm. I hope he can do magic with me too. I hope the universe is listening.With no time to spare, he put the cream on the magicwand and do his thing on measuring and scanning. Everything is good, he said. He asked me if I have questions. I told him that often I have headaches. Is Tylenol okay in stimming. He said no problem. I also asked about Coq10. It's not really that much of a deal taking it but I said I already have left over and I don't want to waste it so he said go ahead with it. I think I have every answer for now. But later on if I have one, I will ask my coordinator.

So I got dressed and went straight to the lab. There were 1 couple waiting there. But I stand there beside them and the nurse asked me to enter. I didn't care if I passed the couple. Well, my schedule anyway was at 8. The nurse knew I would be coming. She was good. I didn't have much pain and stuck the needle real nice. I forgot to look at her nameplate. Next time, I will check on their names.

Now, I will have to wait until Kim make a call for my dosage. I am crossing my fingers that we will be on schedule. No negatives vibes here.

By the way, today is my 10th day of Lupron. I am normal as I can be. No headache, no cramps just light bleeding. I am happy Lupron did a good job maintaining my sanity LOL.

9th Day of Lupron

After I took my 9th shot last night, I still carry the headache. So before I went to bed, I took another 1 500mg of Tylenol. I slept around 11pm. During the night, I felt some light hot flashes. I didn't sweat this time. I just felt hot. I remembered pulling away the comforter of my bed but that was it. I was able to sleep and even dream.

I woke up this morning with no bad headache. Alleluiah! You know how happy I am to be in this state. I guess therefore, my headache was coming from my period. I don't believe Lupron did it. But one thing for sure, the itchiness of my left fingers are my side effects. Until now, I still feel the itch but if I don't really mind it, I will not noticed it.

I am also feel relief. I got my medications at work this morning. When I spoke with my nurse yesterday, the person in charge at the doctor's office didn't process my approval notification for the insurance because the lady who was responsible to do the process was out sick. If she's sick, she could have at least ask around to let somebody do the work when it's time essential. If I didn't bug them about the status of my approval, I could have been in trouble not getting my medication on time. But praise for my coordinator on stepping up and do the work.

So tomorrow will be my E2 and ultrasound. I am hoping and praying that everything will set as plan. Oh Lord hear my prayer.

4th Day Of Lupron

Yesterday was the worst side effects of Lupron. The left big thumb was stinging tremendously that the pain went up to my head. Do I sound exaggerating? But really, the pain was excruciating. I tried to put Vick's vapor rub on the area hoping the stingling pinch inch needle sensation would stop but it helped a little but the pain was just to overbearing.

I google hoping to find somebody who has the same experience but I didn't find one. What I've read, that during Lupron the only medicine you could only take is Tylenol. I don't want to take it if I can but I wasn't able to manage myself on the pain. I took 1 500mg before I went to bed. Suddenly few minutes, I took it the pain subsided a little and I feel relaxed. I was able to sleep too. I also had one 2nd side effect, I started to feel hot flashes.

My Lupron Side Effects after 2 shots

I already had my two shots. My husband administer the injection at night and we always have it around 8:30. Not exactly on sharp but within the time frame. I have read that as long as you take every shot within the 2  hours time frame, it will be okay.

On to my side effects, I am not pretty sure as of this time but one evident that I noticed was my tingling and itchiness of my left pinky finger yesterday sometime around 5pm. It was so strange that when I touched the areas, it is a little bit painful. I have the discomfort every time I moved it or touched something. I have also noticed the headache after a few hours of the shot. I don't know for sure, if it's the shot causing it or it's just because I have been battling with seasonal sickness. I also had a headache around 5pm.

Last night shot, after few hours with my already aching head it's evidently the medicine is kicking in my head. I tried to sleep with not taking any tylenol. After I woke up this morning, I feel fine. But then I wake up with being hungry and headache. I don't know if being hungry causes the headache. Still not too sure about it.

Anyway, I have observed the tingling and itchiness of my left pinky finger moved to my left big thumb now. So therefore, this I guarantee is one of my side effects. I have to do the process of elimination after my cold flu symptoms are gone and I will make an update on it.

First Lupron Shot

I got my package of medicine last Friday in the morning. MDR is doing a good job on fast delivery. I recognize that effort. I hope they will also follow up on my other medicines that are still pending for approval right now. I will be start stimming on the 10th and I am hoping that it's going to be okay. I spoke with Kim on thursday and she said we still have the time to follow up and she's thinking it will be fine. I hope and pray.

Anyway, last night was my first shot. I didn't administer nor did the measuring of medicines. Instead, my husband who's the know it all wanted to do everything. He doesn't want me to do but he asked for my knowledge and understanding base on the class we took. So his not know it all then lol.. But anyway, he did prep the medicine and after I laid on the couch. He swabbed an alcohol on the right side of the belly 2 fingers from the naval. When the alcohol dried up, he stuck the needle and I felt the pinch. He did good but I was scared when I felt the pain and the medicine running through my veins. He released and I was relieved. It was quick though. I was just scared. I never looked at it because hubby doesn't want me to. He knows I am scared like hell lol.. Damn, it's just day 1 for a 2 week injection. Man! It did sting though but after few minutes I was okay.

Baseline Ultrasound

Hi everyone. This was a late post from yesterday. I meant to write what happened but I got distracted from a little conflict with Dh.  There was something he got mad at me and I know I was so hard headed about it but I did it because of what make me feel comfortable. He doesn’t care about what makes me feel about being comfortable and  my feelings and just left me hanging in the ultrasound room. I tell you this Dh of mine is something. If he wants something, I sure have to make compromises otherwise we can’t patch it up. I always give in to his plea. There are at times that he will consider what I think is best.

Skip the details about the bad stuff but the good news is we are okay now. LOL.. It’s just lovers quarrel. Happen all the time. Somehow, on the ultrasound, Dr. Kim did check on me and he took measurement on the inside. All I hear from him and the nurse, were numbers..

I always have brain fart when the scan is done. Did you all experience this? I can’t makeup a question. All I asked if everything’s okay. And he said yes. I guess I don’t want to know every details about it if all is okay? I don’t know. Maybe next time I have to be specific on the measurement and how is the condition of my ovaries or whatever it is that I need to know. I maybe put a list somewhere LOL.. So therefore folks, this is for real. I will be on Lupron Dec 30. Then I will have my blood test and ultrasound on January 9. Until then, just BCP and Lupron.

Birth control Pills

There's nothing much to write except that I am on now. On day 1 Friday, I called Ms K to let her know about that AF showed up. So she set my calendar and she had me on schedule for a baseline ultrasound and consent signing on Dec 16. She told me to take my birth control pills starting on day which is Dec 6 that falls on a Sunday. Great!



Today is the 3rd day since I took the first pill. I don’t feel anything. I am not agitated and my stress level is under control. I guess there’s nothing much to write or to complaint about. I guess it’s a good thing.
