Oh right....the baby thing

OK...It's time...I really should tell you, that I won't be telling you anything. Our blastocyst ( 5 day old embryo ) is waiting us in Denver. I am preparing for the transfer sometime this summer and am not devulgin the date to anyone. After calgary, I realized something. IVF strips you of many things....including the element of surprise. If your friend, daughter, sister, niece, whomever, got pregnant, you get a phone call or a visit, filled with joy, cheers and happy tears. Do you know the exact date of her pregnancy test? No you don't. So I want that back in this process. The element of surprise. Having said that, there will be news, one way or the other, by the end of the summer. (my IVF bloggers, please see below)

I have been in touch with my nurse and know what's coming for the preparation. I don't just show up in Colorado and welcome the little one into my womb. I will again be suppressing my natural cycle with hormones, will be taking lupron injections, and injecting progesterone in oil into muscle. Lovely. Along with estrogen patches and progesterone suppositories. For weeks and weeks. THEN I get to go to Colorado and get my little one.

How am I coping with the sheer mind-blowing stress of this being the beginning of the rest of my life? As a mother - Or not? .....Living for everyday, focusing on the present only, hoping for the best, trusting what's meant to be, and so far the most effective method.....joining a Zumba class.

I will chime in from time to time to report on other things...so in the mean time, thank you for all your love and support.

As for my IVF blogging community buddies, I have built a separate blog for while I'm on my transfer protocol. If I have not sent it to you, or you need it sent again, lease let me know. I have not seen it on anyone's blog lists and would love more followers!
