On a Lighter Note May 24, 2006
Ok, I think my drama queen freakout is over at least temporarily. Sometimes I just need to lose it so that I can keep it together. Does that make sense? Probably not, but the point is that after letting out my fears and having a good cry yesterday, I feel better today.
Now this doesn’t mean I’m not still scared or that I think this will actually work out. I’m too jaded for positive thinking. I am attempting to chill the fuck out, though. I think I’ll make it to Saturday in one piece. However, all bets are off after the results of beta #3.
Oh, and I know it seems like extra torture to have to wait until Saturday instead of having #3 done tomorrow. I understand the reasoning, though. It would suck to get an ambiguous number Thursday only to have to make the trip over on Saturday anyway. It actually works out better for me since Dan will be able to make the drive over with me on Saturday when he wouldn’t have been able to on Thursday. Definitely a good thing.
Ok, on to the lighter stuff. You wanna hear my shot story from yesterday? It’s one to add to the IVF memory book for sure. I have to do my PIO shots in the morning this cycle since the damn suppositories are supposed to be done at bedtime. Of course my AM shot time just happened to fall right in the middle of my drive over to Houston yesterday. There really was no good solution, so I ended up giving myself a PIO injection in a bathroom stall at McDonalds. It was quite an experience to say the least.
My distraction from all of this stuff has been house hunting. Things are sort of moving along with that. We found a house we like, but it’s overpriced and the sellers really aren’t budging. I think they’re trying to recoup their 6% Realtor commission even though they’ve only lived there less than a year and a half. The house hasn’t appreciated that much in that length of time, but it appears that they’re ignoring that fact.
We’re not in a rush, so we’re taking our time with it. We’ll probably go back in a couple weeks to look at some more houses. Who knows, maybe the sellers of the house we like will get more lenient if their house sits on the market for a while.
It has been kinda fun to look at different houses and get an idea of what we like and don’t like. Carpet in the master bath? Um, no. Dead trees in the front yard? No thank you. The owners of one of the houses we looked at even neglected to remove a dead bird off of their patio. Yuck.
We’ll figure out the house stuff eventually. Just like I hope we’ll figure out everything else.

Totally understand the “calm after the freakout storm” - been there! Glad to hear your chilaxing! :) Wishing you the best!
Been there too. I’m hoping for a nice fat number for you on Saturday.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a great number on Saturday.
Amanda, sounds like you have plenty of distractions right now and that’s good. I don’t blame you for waiting until Saturday. It will tell you more than a questionable Thursday number. Good that you’re feeling better today. I don’t blame you for freaking out. You’ve been through hell. You can freak out whenever you want.
Dear Amanda, yes, freakouts do help “clear the air” — and I’m so glad you’re feeling a bit better now. I’m glad that you two can do the drive together again this weekend. I so hope you’ll have something great to celebrate! And good luck on your househunting too.
Thinking about you, and keeping all crossables crossed as always.
House hunting is fun, and a great way to decide what you really really do not want to have in your home. Saturday will come and with it the news i really do hope brings a huge smile to you and DH.
Hope you get a great result this weekend! Good luck!
Think of houses very, very hard until Saturday. Very hard.
Glad to see your feeling a bit better! Strange how this process makes us freakout at one moment and be totally calm the next. I always feel much better after a freakout section!
LOL @ at McDonalds! I can’t pee in a public restroom much less give myself a shot in one!
Good luck with the house hunting!
I’m coming late to the party but just wanted to tell you how hard I’m rooting for you. I read frequently but am not so good with the commenting.

I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better. It’s so hard to stay optimistic when you’ve experienced so much of the bad stuff. Hoping very hard for you.
Hugs Amanda, I am praying hard for you and hoping Saturday hurries and gets here. Hugs.
Hoping for a fantastic number on Saturday. I definately understand about waiting until then to do it. I am actually considering postponing my first beta by a few days so that my husband will be here.
Good luck!
Oh my goodness — I’ve missed a LOT in the past week! Congrats on the positive!!! Woohooo! Hoping and praying the Sat beta number is nice and high. And PIO at McDonalds….ha! Not fun, I can imagine!
Oh wow! Just checked in and you’ve got betas in the triple digits! Congrats!!!!
PS, What is FRED? I’m clueless!
