(We love her real bad!) they say we should wait until things calm down, to be honest maybe there are others out there who feel the same but as far as I am concerned we could wait forever and none of us know what is around the corner...life is way too short to put things off...I say go for it, just stay calm though! AND NEVER LET THEM GET YOU DOWN...
I too have trouble keeping up with whos doing what! so all those on meds I hope the side effects are minimal & all those waiting too start...I hope you start soon, and all goes too plan!!! I hope you dont think im bein rude! just confused with whos who and what you're all doing, I will get the hang of his I am sure...

Angellica,
I'm sorry about your father and that you're going through all this stuff. I can tell you are a very strong person. I think you're going to get through everything just fine. We are all here to give you lots of support.
This is nothing compared to what you're going through, but during my last IVF cycle I was hoping to have calm and quiet during my last cycle. We postponed our start date several months til after our wedding and after moving in to our new house. I thought nothing else would be going on. But then right in the middle of our cycle, DH's BF came to visit for a week, he had bought and airline ticket weeks before and it was not refundable. If it we're me I think I'd just forfiet the ticket or stay in a hotel. It's a little intrusive wouldn't you think? Well no he showed up the day before retrieval and left the day after transfer. Didn't help me with a thing, just made noise, a mess and invaded my kitchen table where I like to hang out. The week before that, my little dog came up with a real bad allergy. Her entire face puffed up, her eyes were so swollen that she could barely keep her eyes open. She looked like she lost a boxing match. She was at the vet twice and they wanted to try all this stuf with her and do allergy shots, etc. I said I really thought it was a spider bite or wasp sting. They didn't believe me. So I took her home and treated her myself everyday with herbal and homeopathinc remedies. I treated her 4 to 5 times a day for 2 weeks, all while doing my own appts and shots, etc. The most stressful part about that was worrying about her. Anyway not to go on and on. I agree we should just go for it, life is too short, you never know what life is going to throw at you next. You could try to wait for the perfect moment and it may never come. If you know you want it, go for it.
I know what you mean about loving your dog so much. Aren't those vet bills outrageous! I spent over $1000 for surgery and other medical stuff for our pound puppy before he was 8 months old. He is so worth it though. Your pup is so lucky to have you. I always joke about how spoiled my dogs are and how I wish I had their life. Although I'm pretty close. DH has always looked out for me. I have everything I need and I'm lucky enough that I can stay home while all this goes on. (I am in the process of starting my own photography business. We are setting up a studio in our garage. It's going to be nice to work at home)
Anyway too much about me, my issues are small compared to yours. I wish you, your DH, your FIL and your fur baby to all be healthy and feel well.
