stuff and things

I ended up getting a meeting with my doctor to talk things out.  He really is a nice guy, and made me feel better about what's coming up.  He didn't even charge me for the 20 minutes or so he spent with me.  I also got my FSH retested- it's 8.  Pretty consistent to the 7.9 last July.

Flow started yesterday.  I am going to start taking bcp today, for just under 3 weeks, have my withdraw bleed, then get going.  It's hard to believe that we are finally getting there.  It's so crazy.  I'm so nervous about the whole thing, and feeling really chicken about giving myself shots.  I'm such a pansy!

That whole yesterday passed fairly easily.  The one thing that got to me most is remembering that in my perfect world, I would have announced my pregnancy to the fam. two years ago.  It's hard to think about all of the things that have happened since then and where we are now.

Work is really busy right now, and stressful.  My layoff has been officially rescinded.  I'm very, very tired.

    I know the whole IVF process seems overwhelming but one it gets rolling it's so exciting. The shots are easy after the first couple. Enjoy your break on the BCPs before everything gets rolling and GL, can't wait to follow you through the process =)

    I'll be starting my IVF cycle in June, too after a false start in May. The first set of shots weren't bad (and I'm freakishly scared of needles). Not looking forward to the intermuscular shots later in the game.

    That's great that your doctor took the time to talk you through everything. Having a good relationship with your RE makes a difference. Good luck!!

    I'm so glad that everything with your job and road to IVF are going well. You'll be fine with the shots... and consider recruiting DH - D was hesitant at first but quickly became a pro!

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
