IVF #1 FET #2 3DP5DT

Thank you all for the sweet messages of love and support over the past few days. I’m sorry that I haven’t been able to answer all of your emails. As you know, I am trying to stay off of the internet as much as possible over the next two weeks. But, the funny part was that our internet at home went out on Wednesday and Thursday! God DOES work in mysterious ways!! The internet is up now (Matt had to call Qwest last night and work some magic!)

I spent all of Wednesday and Thursday resting as much as possible. I’m not very good at laying on the couch, so I forced myself to take a nap each day (in bed…so that I wouldn’t get up!) Now, I am feeling super rested! I did help make dinner and do the dishes each night because by that point….I was sick of laying around!!

I am back at work today (only working half day,) but not too excited about it at all! I had a blood draw this morning and also an acupuncture appointment. Unfortunately, acupuncture is waaaaay far away from home (but close to the south clinic where all of the big procedures happen,) so I had to drive well over an hour to get to acupuncture and traffic was baaaaad! I didn’t get to work until noon because of the appointment, then afterward had to drive to the south clinic for a blood draw, get gas, drive to work, find parking, walk a few blocks to work…phew! Working downtown sucks!! But, I am trying to take it easy while I am here. Someone “borrowed” my desk fan while I was gone (and I was sweaty by the time I got to the office,) so I had to go track it down…which did not make me a happy camper, but…I refuse to let it get to me!

The PIO shots have gotten a bit easier…thank goodness! My left hip hurt for about 3 days straight, so we were doing the shot only in the right side for a few days. But, now I am able to do it in the left side again…I don’t know what we did to that left side. My hip was on fire for a few days there!! The lovenox shots are also going fine….which I wasn’t too worried about since I’ve done them before. I am doing them sub q in my upper thigh which is going well.

Not much else to report now. I did wake up in the middle of the night last night in a full-blown sweat from head to toe! That was weird…probably from all the hormones! I also had a bit of cramping this morning, which my acupuncturist said was a good thing and a good time to do acupuncture, so that was nice to hear. Matt and I decided to meet some friends for dinner tonight…it is on the rooftop of a restaurant, and that sounded nice to me…so I decided to accept the invite. It’s good to keep my mind off of all of this. Matt is also taking me on a picnic this weekend, which will be nice. Keeping as busy as I can without overdoing it…it is a fine balance!!!

Too early to feel one way or the other as to if this worked or not…..I really AM trying not to stay away from the internet….google, forums, even your blogs (sorry, I still love you all!) So, if you don’t hear from me…know that I am fine and I am thinking of each of you. I promise to answer emails when I am ready…thanks for your understanding!!! I promise to post here if anything significant happens…..
