Let The Fun Begin!

AF has officially come to visit!!! That means today officially starts DAY ONE of my first IVF cycle!!! My initial monitoring appointment is tomorrow (9/9) at 9:45am! (that's a lot of 9s!) My tentative Embryo Retrieval date is Monday 9/19. I am well aware that this date is subject to change based on the maturity of my follicles, but it still feels crazy to be talking actual dates!!! I am planning to take my dad with me to Atlanta starting next Wednesday night (9/15) and we'll stay until ER is complete. Jay will be joining us during the weekend and possibly staying until ER. However, if ER keeps getting pushed back then Jay will have to return home to go to work. He can miss 1-2 days, but cannot miss an entire week! I am SO nervous about spending a week alone with just my dad and my 15 month old son! More than anything, I am nervous about trying to survive a 5-6 hour drive with DS in the car. He is a HORRIBLE car-rider. I guess I just have to keep the end-result in my head and try to stay calm and flexible!

The next big question will be... WHEN will we go back for our FET? I, myself, am wondering the SAME thing!!! Of course I would love to go back as soon as possible! However, several weddings are getting in the way. One of which is out of state for me. It all depends on whether or not my RE can "manipulate" my next period for timing purposes. If I can start AF in time I could possibly squeeze one FET in before the Nov 5th wedding. We shall see. I cannot wait to be pregnant with my baby girl! It seems like such a dream, but to make it a reality seems crazy!

Oh, and I forgot to add, I still have to get my TSH re-drawn tomorrow. If it is still too high I guess they might cancel my cycle. How bad will that suck after getting SO excited about everything? SO BAD! FX that does NOT happen!!! lol
