SHE ARRIVED...........

Now most of us would think - aw, she had a girl.....well most of the fertile women out there! For us infertile's, we know I'm referring to AF DB. Finally - this morning, she came in guns blazing. Thank you Jesus! Was nice to be able to take my time getting ready this morning since my appointment wasn't until 7:50 - why that time? why not give me that extra 10 minutes and say 8:00? Thankfully I didn't have to battle too much traffic and made it there a little early. BW right away...love the lady I had today - she's from Haiti and she's a hoot! Did I really just say hoot....HA.....well we were talking about the weather as she's trying to distract me from that "just a little pinch" and was asking if we had four seasons, to which I told her what they were, and she asked which one are we in now. Broke it to her that winter was fast approaching but technically we are still in Fall (hello mid 60's this weekend). She's done with me and back to the waiting room. This leads me to my random thought for the day (haven't written one in some time):

Why is it that while you are sitting in the waiting room, whether it's for bw or u/s, NO ONE makes eye contact? I tested this theory out today and literally looked at every lady that came in to sit with me in the room....not some creepy type of staring, but just tried to make eye contact so I could smile and say good morning. Nothing, Nada, Zip, Zilch. Everyone just went right to an open chair (they all spread out so no one was sitting next to anyone) and went right to their phones/ipads. Why is it that it seems everyone feels ashamed of being there (I too have felt that way)? It's not like the office helps out the 'normal' women - we are all there for the same reason....we need help getting preggers.

Now it's time to be violated with Wanda the Wand....chatting with the u/s tech she asked if this was my first IVF. Told her it was my second but the first I was just doing as I was told, step by step direction. This time I feel more comfortable and know what is going on so I'll be more apt to ask questions instead of wait for the call. She told me there were no measurable follicles right now but said that's normal for Day 7. Um, it's Day 1! She just looked at me and I laughed and told her my friend had a late arrival.

And so the staring at the phone begins......wait as long as I can before I have to go to the rest room, have thought of bringing it with me but then don't really care to have anyone else hear about the dosage of my Gonal F or Menopur....that and the fear of dropping my phone is the toilet. GROSS! All this, just so I do not miss their phone call.

Need to giggle at myself - it's not like it's a Beta call, so settle down you crazed phone staring, think you have super powers to make it ring, woman!
