I'm ten days away from all of this reaching some kind of action plan-like Action Man, we all need a something.
I've seen on other sites what women have given up while dong IVF. I confess that last time I ate pretty healthily and, although I have given up yoga for now (the idea of doing downward facing dog while my abdomen is swollen and covered with needle bruises just doesn't appeal) I was still trying out poses from time to time.
This time, I have given up nothing-while I was never a smoker anyway, that would've been the only thing I'd give up. My RE said pre-implantation it's ok to drink, so I do. I have gained 5 pounds but am mindful that progynova causes excessive water weight, and due to the Buserelin I chuga lot of water to stave off the killer migraines.
Last time I felt way more zen about my cycle.
This time I feel like it's taking a fucking long time to get there, and I'm not even there yet.
Our odds are slim. I know that, Aidan knows that. I think I'll want to do another cycle right away-we can fit one in before that time frame known as the holidays. We do have a wedding to go to in the States the first week of November though, which throws in a bit of a monkey wrench. We'll see about the scheduling-I'm keen to avoid the exact days of Christmas/New Year, because that's the time frame where it succeeded then failed all those years ago.
Last night I dreamt I was begging pregnant women to stop taking thalidomide.
Nice.
