Still spotting...what a surprise...NOT!! Good gravy this is annoying!! It's bad enough to be PMS'ing but I tell you this really adds to the unpleasantness of it all, that's for sure.
DH and I went yesterday for our infectious disease blood work. I've become a pro at waiting for everything - waiting for AF, waiting for this IVF process to kick into gear, waiting through 20+ 2ww's, waiting at the way-too-many appointments I've had this past year, etc. So sitting in the waiting room at the lab facility for quite some time (think forever and a day) is not a real change of pace for me. I actually find waiting room time is a great time to burn through my library books or magazines that I received but didn't read yet. DH on the other hand was quite perturbed at the slow service. Ah well, he's done with his tasks now until egg retrieval day so he can't complain too much about it. And in the end the short-staffed workers finally called our names, took our blood, so now we've got one more thing crossed off the to-do list.
I added a little timeline to the right of my posts to note all of the steps in our IVF process. Seeing some dates on there makes me feel like we're making progress. Ok, I admit, the progress is really crawling and you're sitting there thinking, "Will she ever have anything interesting on this blog again? Why am I still reading this dribble?" Believe me, I feel you're pain. I seriously can't wait to start filling in dates where there are currently "TBD" placeholders! I can't wait to write about the excitement, the worry, the needles, and all the nitty gritty. For now though I offer you my deepest apologies as you suffer through the talk of my incessant spotting, my frustration with pantiliners, and my desire for dear Aunt Flo to arrive soon so we can get the last couple of screening tests checked off the list.
Yoo-hoo, Aunt Flo...come on over and help us get this show on the road before I bore my readers to death!
