Noctomom

Today it felt luxurious to sleep in til 6:30. Really! No early morning bloodwork and ultrasound appt. for me. Aaaaahhhh.

Yesterday I had a 6:30 am appt. and I got there at about 6:25. There were 6-7 women standing outside waiting for the place to open up. Honestly, before that I wasn't sure the place ever closed.

So, we are standing outside and it's a little cold and you can see the staff inside but they haven't opened the doors yet. I felt like maybe we should start of chant of, "We Want Babies! We Want Babies!" That would have been funny I think.

There was actually some chit chat amongst the women standing outside, which was kind of refreshing. Every other time I've been there, everyone is just staring at each other in silence, looking kind of sullen.

I'd had the same ultrasound tech a few days before and she'd been pretty friendly and talkative. Not so much yesterday. The fertility Dr. said he is treating me as if this is my only chance, so he is treating me a lot less conservatively than he would a typical IVF patient. So, yesterday I had 21 of these "follicles" getting bigger. That made me wonder. Maybe the ultrasound tech doesn't have the context and she thinks I want to be Octomom?

For the record, I do not.

I do feel bloated, a little uncomfortable, and kind of pregnant (I know, I know, there's no "kind of" pregnant). And I am ready to be done with evening shots. D is ready too. He is the one giving them to me and it's tougher on him than on me I think.

Last shot is tonight. Go-day is Thursday. Wish us luck!



P.S. I'm sorry for that annoying ad in the middle of the blog. I was fooling around the other day and I've tried to get rid of it but I haven't been successful.
