As I put my banana bread in the oven tonight....I realized something. I can't wait for my period. I am counting the seconds....tic toc....any minute now....and the checkered flag is flown for my cycle with Colorado to start. How ironic....most women making babies are devastated to get their period. I'll be rejoicing. It gets better.....since I will be injecting at home this time, I needed to clear a drawer in my dresser to make room for all the needles and drugs. The only drawer I could spare to vacate is my lingerie drawer. So my baby making LaSenza numbers are being replaced by baby making hormones shot out of the end of a pointy object. My special collection now has the temporary residence of the special basement. As for weight, most women have a little fun while they are trying to get pregnant and enjoy the foods they usually stay away from....all this to get a little fluffy and send warm fuzzies to the uterus, that all is A-OK on the body fat front. I cannot do that....on the contrary, I have to lose weight, so my pants fit after the injections. I can wear Lulu Lemons to my egg retrieval, but not to work 4 days later. So my 6:30 am appointment with 25 lb weights started a week ago and my 8:30 pm appointments with a bowl of popcorn to yet another kernel spitting episode of Two and a Half men have ceased completely. Apparently banana bread dough at 8:45pm is perfectly acceptable though.
IVF is many things. Tonight, it's ironic. As I put away some of my favorite pieces in that drawer, it felt sad, weird and funny at the same time. I guess that would be a good definition for irony - sad, weird and funny. I am anticipating my period with glee, packed away my lingerie, and hit the treadmill and hard weights.....just like any other woman trying to get pregnant right?
LOL! Good luck on the weight loss front (although having met you IRL I think you look great!). One has to find humour in vacating the lingerie drawer for fertility meds?! Made me chuckle!
ReplyDeleteYou must be getting excited Iveta! Not long now!
ReplyDeleteMay AF come for a visit quickly. Like you, I've been working out to drop a few pounds before I am on the no-to-light exercise bandwagon. It's "Restaurant Week" here in Denver (which actually lasts for two weeks) - where hundreds of restaurants offer special menus for $52.80 / couple (restaurants that would normally run much, much more). So, I hope at this point that all my indulgences are balanced out by my trips to the gym. Totally worth it though!
