Making Choices

Lately, it seems that every choice I make is wheiged on the "future baby" plan. I wallked into a store that had 50-70% off everything and I still didn't want to spend my now very valuable planning money. I have a dresser taking up a lot of room in my basement that I won't throw out because if I paint it white it can be the "future baby's" furniture. So... in keeping with planning for "future baby" - which I really need to find a better name for... I bought a 12 week old Shi-poo female puppy as a boxing day gift! I'd been considering this idea for a while. Mostly because I felt my dog D could use a buddy to keep him young and busy and not always rely on me for his entertainement. And because he'll need someone other than me when baby comes.

I finnally took the plunge because I was talking with my brother-in-law who just had a baby 6 weeks ago - about a year ago they added a puppy to the family, they already had one senior dog - and he said it was the best thing they ever did.

Isn't this "nature's" way of preparing you for motherhood anyway? Once you have a child your thoughts are first and foremost for them and their livlihood right? So I continue to walk the path and make choices to further place each brick in the road to mommyhood.

Shots gone wrong and FB rant.

This madness called for a Facebook post tonight. To let people really see the face of infertility. Here's what I posted. "This is what infertility really looks like. Tonight was double shot night where I have to give myself 2 shots of 2 different drugs, in my ass (behind me), on my left side (I'm right handed), without help because of M's fear of needles. And this is what happens when that goes wrong. So often I struggle in silence and try my best to keep strong. But tonight my rage, frustration and sadness has gotten the best of me. I have another 7 days of this nightly routine only to go for a biopsy - not even for an attempt at a transfer. I am a real life science experiment. I post this to vent, and to bring awareness to the true struggles of infertility. Shining a light on the darkness that plagues some people's lives with no one knowing. Suffering in the shadows is part of the greatest pain." I got a huge outpouring of support and people have told...

Waiting for Biopsy Results

3 days until my biopsy and I'm feeling very anxious. This waiting in between is awful. Many of the women on my FB group have transferred this month and many have gotten their BFP's. Makes me feel like I'm not part of the 'club'. Thankfully I have my art show to keep me busy. I worked my butt off this weekend prepping and getting everything branded and ready to go. Now I'm back to the slower pace at work as well. Though that's good - it gives me too much time to wonder and worry I guess.

Got my new protocol today.

Well. Things are moving along! I got a call from the ART lab in Florida today. They have sent my protocol to HFI and my prescriptions to a pharmacy in Ohio. I am to get my ultrasound and blood work on January 16 at HFI. Then wait for CD1 and we have a projected transfer date of February 10!
