not.quite.yet

Um. So. This morning came but no period yet. So no ultrasound yet. (Sorry Dennis, perhaps another time). I'm ok. Realizing again and again that the one overarching message I am learning about all this- this babymaking, this IVF, is that it is going to go how it goes no matter what I am wanting. And really, as I said before, except for sabotage, the only thing I can do is play it as it comes.
Whenever that may be.

I betcha by about 2 this afternoon, I'll be curled around a heating pad. But not quite yet.

It will come. You are right-one thing we gals have learned is that nothing happens when scheduled. If we all ran a collective airline, we'd get horrible marks for timeliness. It will come.

I've just learned in this process to take things as they come. I'm living one day at a time which is not in my nature really. I'm a planner. But it's so much easier to just let go and go with it.

I wish you all the best this time! Enjoy your weekend.

Kate,
Thanks for your good thoughts. It turns out that she WAS missing a zero! I just updated my post. All is well again. I will continue to wish for no blood for me and the exact opposite for you.

Kate, thanks for all the encouraging comments you've left on my blog. I really appreciate it.

How ironic that some of us are praying for periods, while others are praying for it to just stay the hell away. I hope AF comes soon for you.

It's so hard not being in control of the timeline (or anyting IVF-related), but I try to think of it as a precursor to pregnancy when the loss of control becomes even more pronounced. ;-)

I tell you - us girls spend half our lives hoping our period will stay away - prom, vacations, hot dates with cute boys, trying to make a baby and the other half hoping it'll turn up - wanting it to come before a special event, trying to start a cycle - a careless date with a cute boy.
I hope you're putting the hot water bottle to good use in no time - and you can get this show on the road.
