Antsy!

I'm so anxious for this day to be over. I've never been so excited about a drs appt in my life. Tomorrow I have bloodwork and u/s. It will signal the definite beginning of my IVF cycle. I'm anxious to see how many antral follicles I have. (Those are the follicles that haven't started to develop yet). As of last month, I had 15 total. This is really good for someone my age. It's a good indication that I do not have "limited ovarian reserve". So I still have a few eggs left, hopefully they are good ones! I'm also hoping they are all still there. The nurse said there was a chance that a few could drop off b/c of the month on BCPs. I hope not! I need all I can get!

I think tonight I will do some yoga with my hubby. We've been doing this fertility yoga dvd and it's been pretty great. I don't think I'm up for the gym, but yoga sounds good.

Waiting Waiting Waiting

I now understand Tom Petty when he says it's the hardest part! Due to our health coverage and the holiday schedule at our RE's office, we had to delay IVF for a little over a month. Then, I had to delay one week more because my brother bumped his wedding by a week. I told him I would photograph it and I didn't want to take the risk of being crazy and/or bloated on the big day. I have visions of the blueberry girl in Willa Wonka (the original of course) and it's not pretty. No one wants to be rolled around a wedding!

The holidays have helped me not obsess too much about the waiting. My husband and I have been doing yoga, working out and I've been going to an acupunturist once a week. My friend was so sweet and scheduled us both for massages tomorrow so I'm looking forward to that muchly!

In a world where we can have dinner ready in less than 5 minutes or get an instantaneous answer to a question via the internet, this whole pregnancy process is painstakingly looooooong! Don't even get me thinking about the two week wait!!!!! AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
