How I mix cocktails now.  The new happy hour at the Wilson house.

Blood work on a Saturday

I have discovered that my new favorite thing for IVF is blood work on Saturday morning.    Parking is free and waiting room is empty.   Not one person who is trying to make chit chat.  

 Glorious.

return of the tick

Day one of injections is over and done.  Round 2 is about to begin.

As of this week I have reverted to my old nervous tick of wringing my hands.  When I catch myself, I try to put lotion in my hands to at least give the habit some purpose.

When I come through this I might not just have a baby, I could also have really soft hands. Bonus.

Injections to begin...

I've had all initial blood work done.  I'm taking a handful of vitamins daily.  I've taken my last birth control pill.   All this signifies the beginning of injections.   My life revolving around needles.

Feb 9 is egg retrieval day.   Feb 13 is when implementation happens. Then 48 hours of bed rest.   

I then wait until February 27 to see if my $15,000 lottery ticket was a winner.   

On a side note.  I asked a coworker how they kept their sanity.  Her response?  "I didn't.  I was a basket case."   Check.  

Ivf

My calendar is full of appointments for blood work and more. IVF officially started today...right after I wrote a check for over 10 Gs.
