IVF#2 meds and other ramblings

IVF#1 meds

IVF#1:

"Woo Hoo!! My meds are here!! I can't believe we are doing IVF! It's surreal to see them on our counter, but I'm so excited because this concoction is going to make our babies. Bring on the needles and let's get this show on the road."

Yes, babies, as in plural. I was so over-the-top positive in my head that this was all it would take to create our entire family (frozen embryos and all). We would be one of the "lucky" infertile (total oxymoron, but you know what I mean) couples that only has to do this once. I even told M. the night after our ER that we could have just created our entire family today. I worked from home on a weekday waiting for their delivery because I couldn't wait to get them.

IVF#2 meds IVF#2:

"My meds are here. I really can't believe we are doing this again. There sure are alot more needles with this protocol. God, I hope this works."

I hope we can get at least 1 good quality sticky embryo this time. Of course, more would be great, but I at least want one baby out of this. Please. Please. Please.

Meds delivered on a Saturday in between taking M. to the airport and my afternoon acupuncture. I just wanted them to get here so my Saturday wasn't a total waste.

M. is gone for the week visiting his brother so in all my ocd glory I should be on the net an even more unhealthy amount than normal. Lots going on this week both at work and home so alot of mindless blogging to be had.

• Molly, our German shorthaired pointer, has a vet appointment on Monday for yet another issue. My poor sweet old girl.
• I have my sigmoidoscopy on Wednesday and I know you will all be dying to read about my double enema prep for this.
• Of course, we still have insurance stuff to deal with on our totalled truck.
• I have another appointment with my therapist on Friday. I'm still not sure I like her, but I didn't like my last one either most days and she helped get me fixed.
• Saturday is our neighborhood garage sale and I will pick M. up from the airport.
• My acupuncturist will be gone on Saturday so I need to try to work in an appointment at one of his other locations sometime this week. I'm really starting to like it.
• I'm in charge of planning something for Administrative Professionals Day at work and have been helping out (in my copious spare work time) with a retirement party that will happen on Thursday.
• I somehow have tasks that I am working on for 4 different leads at work. I don't know how this happens, but there is alot of juggling going on.
• I have to finish up all my online training at work (1 class done, 2 to go) and write up my annual status for my performance review by Friday.
• Because we are in our rest cycle before IVF#2, we won't be trying on our own this month. With M. out of town it works just fine. I'll still be peeing on my OPK sticks to detect my LH surge as Lupron injections will begin 7 days post surge.

Our next cycle will be here before we know it.
