First, I wanted to thank two of my blog angels who offered their left over medications for my cycle and saved us thousands of dollars. And a friend who will collect them in the States for me. You know who you are, and you know how much this means...thank you ever so much.
I have been waiting for this day since I left my one day work up at CCRM in December. I went home with a binder and homework that most of you have had to witness all through January. Today my nurse was faxed my last test - a physical exam - and rewarded me with my calendar for March. This calendar was music to my eyes, since I've been itching to know what my last march towards pregnancy will look like. Oh look - a pregnancy march in March. Cute eh? I will be flying there around March 30th. (hopefully no more conflicts with work...might have one right at that time...won't know until next week for sure...fingers crossed) My protocol looks completely different than in Calgary - no nasal spray that puts me into menapause - MAN! how backwards that was compared to Colorado - I will be on more meds but for a shorter period of time. As my doctor said this morning when she looked at all the prescriptions: "Boy...you're going to be an emotional roller coaster". I didn't do too bad last time but she said this time will be different because there is more of them at once and at higher doses. That is why I am turning to yoga again. As I say on the left - I have joined a yoga class - Ashtanga. It's alarmingly hard - I almost cried in the last class and it took me a week to recover from the first class. Soooo...will be trying a different form of it....need the meditative/mental health/stretching/ying yang componet of yoga more so than the 'when will this be over' kind. I am also looking forward to and excited to be going to Rome with my husband in May. I will be meeting his family for the first time, including his 90 year old Nona. We wanted to go before we had kids so the timing worked out. I know that the " where is the babino " thing will come up, or "perque non vogliamo il bambino" (I'm doing different homework now) "Proviamo" will be my response. It means "we're trying". That we are.
Exciting!! How wonderful that friends have donated meds too. Absolutely wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMy docs and pharmacist couldn't believe all the meds I was on either and I thought I'd be a looney toon but honestly it was not bad at all. Good on you to do yoga. I really believe acupuncture helped to keep crazy med side effects in order and to relieve stress/anxiety. So I am also a big believer in acupuncture too! End of March will be here before you know it! oooh and Rome in May? Sounds heavenly!
ReplyDeleteYes thanks Lisa! Going to acupuncture today!
ReplyDeleteThat's great news Iveta - you must be getting excited to start your cycle, especially with a brand new protocol. So nice that you got some meds donated too - every little penny helps. Rome - wow - I'm just hoping to get to Minot in March (ha!).
