We go to the hospital to get my protocol at 4 pm today (for those new to IVF, protocol is what they call the schedule of drugs, blood tests, ultra-sounds and activities from Day 1 to end day of IVF.) This is a big deal to me, this day. I believe that the donee started off her activity a few weeks ago, although I have no idea what said activity was. I should be paying more attention to what she is going through instead of just thinking about my own cycle.
So protocol given today. Good. It's a start. Of course, there is a fucking lot on-we move house this weekend, we get a new dog on Friday, and the mood in the house is currently so miserable that watching documentaries on skin lesions may have more laughs, but hey. I guess you can't have everything.
Posted by Vanessa at March 21, 2006 08:07 AM | TrackBackI agree with Thalia...busy equals less obsessing (theoretically). I'm sorry to hear the mood in your house is miserable; hopefully, that will change as you move into that gorgeous new house of yours. And I personally think documentaries on skin lesions are FASCINATING. I'm always watching those Discovery or TLC channel shows about freakish medical anomalies and such.

Posted by: caltechgirl at March 21, 2006 05:34 PMI think in a way it's good to be so busy when cycling - stops you obsessing. But I do hope the mood lifts.
Posted by: thalia at March 21, 2006 05:13 PMYay! That is so exciting. Looks like I'll be about a week behind you.
P.S.
Thanks for adding me to "The Infertile Bitches" grouping. How fun!
It has begun! YEA!!!!
That nameless donee is so lucky that someone as kind as you are made it to her side of the ocean. I've said it before but this is a really amazing thing you are doing. Go you!
PS. For some reason this site and your other think that my URL is "questionable content." So I've just left the URL out.
Posted by: donna at March 21, 2006 12:15 PMI hear you...am off to first appointment today too...how exciting is that. Am of course awaiting more inforamtion from you afterwards on what will be going on during your cycle.
Sorry to hear the mood is low at your place...here too, in fact at an all time low...you have a lot on your plate right now too. I hope it get's better soon, maybe with the start of this cycle!
