I even txted him this morning on the bus to tell him about Annie's news. It's kinda weird to be actually happy about someone elses pregnancy, isn't it? It's like you have to earn it. Wow, so many comments to make.
Allison - I was interested that you don't let DH near you with the needle. DH has been great with me, giving me all of mine, and it's nice that he is part of this thing that seems to be all about me but is really supposed to be about us. Something that actually helped was I gave HIM a needle one time - just stuck it in and pulled it out again. That made it less scary for both of us, I think, although be careful to hurt him just a bit, because my DH hardly felt it and then he didn't believe that it hurt sometimes. I told my clinic, and they offered to give me some saline to inject, they said that would hurt more. That made me laugh, but I didn't take them up on the offer - yet.
Caz - I took 2 days off after EC - I definitely needed that, and I was actually pretty emotional the following day too, I was OK, but had to go and have a cry at one point when it all got a bit much. It's all so stressful. So I probably could have stretched it to that day, too. But then I was lucky coz my ET was over Easter, so I had four days off for that, too, and two short weeks on either side. It was nice to have that downtime. Like Tania, my job just involves sitting at a computer and occasionally walking to the printer, so if you had a more active job, it might be different.
Traci - my test date is 21. So I guess that makes me next? 7 days today.
Take care all,
Jaye.
