Yes, really, this might actually be happening soon. It seems that the ducks or the stars or whatever it shall be, are lining up the way they should be. Finally!
Those very expensive medications I ordered from England are at my house. Literally, all of them are at my house, on my shelf in my bedroom, waiting for me to use them. I got them on February 6th. My request date, my "need by" date was January 1st. I'm very frustrated that it was over a month late but they're here. I hope I never have to call that guy again!
But, the "sign" I talked about in my last post might have been to protect me from the weather. I've decided that the stress I would have endured if I had to drive to Ypsilanti several times would have made me crazy and would not have been healthy for my body preparing for a baby. Everything happens for a reason, right? So, the drugs were late so I didn't have to drive an hour one way on slippery, snowy, awful roads. Which means by the middle of March we should have nice ish weather, right? Sounds good, we deserve some warmth and sunshine!
So then I received my personalized calendar from my doctor. I thought I got the meds early enough to start them right away so that i could do all of this in February. But after talking to the nurse, there were no available times for my procedure (the removal of eggs) during the week I would have to do the procedure. So I have to wait another month anyway! Ugh. So the calendar says I'll take birth control pills for the normal 3 weeks, then instead of going into sugar pills and having my period, I'll open a new pack of pills and take active pills for an additional week. Birth control pills for 4 weeks. Then I'll have a period. They are doing this to fit me into a procedure week. So, as far as we know, as far as we hope, my very last birth control pill will be taken on March 8th. My baseline ultrasound is scheduled for March 11th. And I will begin taking my medications (as well as my period will start) on March 13th.
It's less than a month away at this point. I'm getting more and more excited, more and more nervous, more and more scared.
While we were waiting I made some extra money working with Amanda, we spent a long weekend with family, and we got our taxes done.
