Even Scrooge Can Have a Good Day November 29, 2004

I have to admit I was tremendously grumpy and cranky during my family visit over the Thanksgiving holiday. I realized that I am feeling bitter a lot these days. I really didn’t feel like feeling all thankful and stuff this weekend (although I am keenly aware of all that I have to be thankful for). I’m tired, both physically and emotionally, of all this IVF crap. I really wasn’t up to hearing my brother complain about some tiny dentist bill while I sat there and mentally tallied up all that we’ve spent this year in the medical bill department and worried about repeating the same next year. I also wasn’t up for the 24/7 reminder that people who shouldn’t have kids do all the time that came with spending the holiday surrounded by my parent’s great-nephews (although they sure are a couple of cuties). It was good to spend time with my family, but it was a tough holiday.

Today, however, I have shed my grumpiness. My lining measured 8.9mm at my ultrasound this morning. Yay! I didn’t even care that I had to wait a year and a day to get called back. After my ultrasound I talked to my IVF coordinator about when my FET would be. Originally she said that they had scheduled it for next Monday, because apparently the lab doesn’t handle the FET stuff on the weekends. I’m really getting impatient these days, so I asked if I could just start my PIO today so we could do my ET on Friday. She left to check with the lab, and when she came back she said, “You got it.” So, my ET is scheduled for Friday at 10am. I’m done with the Lupron (hurray!) and start PIO tonight. I even got her to prescribe me some antibiotics so I don’t have to be paranoid about that situation. I am so glad that my lining decided to get itself in gear over the weekend. Now I can spend my time worrying about the next hurdle: having our embryos survive the thaw.
