Random Ramblings

So today is Father's Day, as all of us infertiles know. And today, I am really at peace with my infertility. I asked DH if he felt better about our IF now that we had babies on ice and he said he did, which is so nice to hear. This has been something we've been struggling with for over two years now. At times he blamed me, it is my tubes and eggs that suck, but that still doesn't make it easier. We have banded together to make a very solid couple that I am now proud of. Yes, we still have our issues but with all the shit we've been through in our 3 short years of marriage or our 5 years of being together, we've made it and we're stronger because of it.

Today is also the first day of summer. I love summer. Even though all the shit I have to go through this year really does suck, I do love this time if year. My birthday is at the end of July, as well as DH's bday and we enjoy celebrating it together. I realized the other day that I will be getting chemo on my birthday this year...not fun but I truly am blessed to be here on this earth.

On another note, I got AF today and man is she pissed. All these fertility drugs have whomped on my system and it's not pretty (sorry if TMI).

Hope you enjoyed your weekend with your DH.

Cade Anthony is here...

On Friday my friend was induced with her baby boy.
Here are some pics of before and after the baby was born. Click on the pics to make them bigger.

Congrats Carri & Evan

Don't have much to say

I come on here often to check how everyone is doing but don't really have much to say about IF right now. If you're interested in following my cancer blog, please email me at elephantmeg@juno.com and I'll send you the link. I update my cancer blog pretty frequently as to what's happening with my treatments etc.

Know that I'm thinking of you all often and check on you regularly.

Where was I?

Apprantly a man in Florida tried to sell or trade his 6 month old baby on craigs.list. Umm, I'll take it:) But seriously, who does that? Once again, life is not fair and some people should not have children.

I'm off to drink myself into a stupor before starting chemo on Monday...
Have a good one.

Fert Report

Of the 11 eggs retrieved, 5 were mature and 4 fertilized. We have 4 babies on ice!!

Back from ER

They got 11 eggs, 11!!!
I am so happy with that.
The embryologist will call tomorrow morning with the fert report and let me know how many are going to be frozen.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

ER is Tomorrow AM

I am so freaking nervous. I am worried that I am going to ovulate on my own before I get there to get the eggs taken. Oh, I know they've been doing this for years and know what they're doing but I've never been in this place before and don't know if I'll have the chance to ever be here before. I pray for great eggs and strong embies that make it to freeze. They only have to make it 18 hours before they're frozen, just 18 hours.

Andrea gave me a great idea today, since I did my trigger last night, I POAS and got my BFP...ha ha, that will be the only + pregnancy test I'll see for awhile. It was pretty fun though I have to admit even if I knew it wasn't true.

I'll update tomorrow afternoon with how many eggs we get. Until tomorrow....
