Nice, lazy Saturday, for the most part. I awoke to my closest friend from college calling me at 9:30am 'cause she was "cleaning and bored." At least it wasn't 4:30am Easter morning like the situation I was dreaming about when she called! I've been having some WEIRD dreams since I sarted on my IVF meds.
My husband is one of 14 children, and has four sisters and a brother that live in the same town as us (they all live within a 5-10 minute radius-it's great!) Anyway, he has a nephew who's 23 or so who just got here from Honduras, and we took him shopping today for shoes. We did this 2 years ago when his little brother came here when he was 19. It's weird to me that they don't have shoes when they get here. They were both so excited that he wanted to take them shopping. I love to see people happy.
Other than that, I go in for b/w and u/s tomorrow. I hope it's time for ER, but only if everything's ready to go.
Katie: Praying that your second beta is a wonderful number! As for my ET, if it's Tues, that will be day 12. Is that really fast compared to others? I'm feeling fine, which has me a little worried 'cause everyone keeps asking me how I'm feeling.
And, I know other women have said they feel really uncomfortable during this time. Maybe I'm used to feeling uncomfortable? Except for the random stomach pains and the sharp pain the other day, I've been relatively fine. (I'll shut-up now so I don't jinx myself.)
gi: You're from Ireland, huh? Born and raised there? You can laugh at me if you want, but ever since I saw
Circle of Friends way back when, I've been in love with Maeve Binchy's novels. I used to buy one every summer and winter and pass my time gettting lost in your country. I haven't done that for a few years now but have one of her books on my shelf that I haven't touched. I'm tempted to start reading it will all this free time I have. I hope this round of IVF works for you. Your ET is about a week away, right?
miyaya: Words cannot express how you must feel right now. I am so sorry for what you are going through. Be good to yourself this weekend. You've been through alot; you deserve it.
Ashely: I'm so glad your bleeding stopped! You, too, should take it easy this weekend!
Many of your responses to my DH (Ivin) having to be gone for up to 1 1/2 years are similar to ones I've gotten in the past. I have to admit, I had no idea what we would have to go through (immigration wise) before I met him. By time I realized all that would have to be done, I was already in love and engaged. You can't change who you fall in love with, and I just try to make the best of it. I honestly try not to think about what is going to happen this summer. We'll get through it, and be stronger because of it (I hope) in the end. I have heard that couples that have to go through IVF are stronger afterwards than their counterparts that do not need infertility treatments. I just hope since we're going through a double-whammy, that that will make us that much stronger and grateful for each other when we are back together. You know, people in my daily world don't understand most of my life right now. Between the IVF and dealing with immigration issues, I am very isolated. But, PMA! Right? Oh, sentimental hormones!
Congrats on finally getting a positive stick, I still have my orininal 2 ones and if i ever get pregnant will put it in a memory box for my baby so it will know how we battled to get there along with all my hosp tags and bills!! ha ha it will know exactly how much it cost. As for my dog no havent figured out how to keep his pills down i swear he is like a hamster and keeps them stuffed in his cheek and spits them out 10 min later!!!! At least i have remembered not to keep them in the same room as my meds could you imagine the doctor going so gi you are going to have pups
