Little Update

Well, it's official. I am on a plane to Denver on March 30! and coming back on April 9th. I got my calendar from my nurse, have collected all my meds (thanks Brenda, Lisa and Jamie)and started on the birth control pill to supress my reproductive system.....the first of many medications and hormones over the next four weeks. What I'm liking about the Pill is that it is supressing my appetite. So maybe I'll accomplish my weight loss goal after all. So I'm looking forward to getting there and having some time off to focus on just this. AND one of my very best friends is coming to visit all the way from California for a day...so I'm pummed. The flights are booked...mine on points, yey, and 3/10 nights on points as well. That took some juggling to coordinate. Stef is joining me on the 5th, just before the egg retrieval.

Here is the small print. Let's hope the birth control pill is strong enough to supress my ovaries, because if I grow an egg for ovulation, I ain't goin nowhere. The whole thing gets canceled and postponed. This is rare, but a possibility. I find that out on the 23rd. Also, once in Denver, there is a small chance that the eggs that I grew to get retrieved ovulate on their own before they have a chance to get them out. We don't want that at all. Again, it's rare but happens.

Let's keep our fingers crossed! I did get cancelation insurance for the flights....da.
