BCP...Let's go!

Our IVF cycle that is.  I started on BCP pills yesterday along side baby aspirin.  I'm so glad we are finally at the point where we are in the actual cycle where our egg retrieval will happen.  Nervous? Yes...but excited nonetheless.

I'm trying my hardest not to let IF consume me right now.  I know the 10 days we will be doing stims are going to be hard, especially with everything going on at work.

Suppression Appointment is on Tuesday. Let's get this show on the road!

And so it begins...

Aunt flow came last night! Here we go...officially starting our IVF cycle. I'm nervous...scared...excited...anxious...and so much more. Mostly, I'm excited we are finally at this point and moving forward. For the past 3 months I've felt like we were in standstill waiting for this to get rolling.

In other news...working from home today because of Winter Storm Q. I'll be wearing my PJs all day. Good thing I stocked up on chili makings and hot cocoa....as did everyone in the area. The grocery store was a madhouse yesterday.

This pic was taking about 2 hours ago. We have twice as much snow now.

Worrying

This is something I have to continue to remind myself every single day. What is worrying going to get me? I have an amazing husband, 2 precious beagles and wonderful family and friends. It's important for me to look at the good inky life when so much is weighing down on us and our IF struggles.

Give me a BREAK!

So I get in the car to come to work this morning where I usually listen to Kidd Kradick in the Morning.  Love the show and have been listening to them since junior high.  I wasn't a fan this morning.  The first thing I heard was..."We went out and decided to celebrate we would start trying for #2 and that's the night this one was concieved." 

Are you kidding me? Great. Wonderful. People are so damn lucky. Hey, let's start trying to get pregnant and BANG...it's done...just like that. Wonderful that they had to share that to the entire world. Lucky me. Today is going to be grrrreeeaaaat. Happy Valentine's Day to ME!

Stress and IF

I can feel the amount of stress I'm going to have over the next few months starting now. With our retrieval in March and the launch of a new site at work, I really don't know how I'm going to manage it. DH warned me about this when we took the IVF step a few months ago, knowing the timing couldn't have been worse. We can't postpone because we don't know when I could be releasing my last eggs....ever month counts. Ehhh....I need a massage stat to help me relax.
