Three Men & Me

Ok, so a coworker of mine said she found a study that split women trying to get pregnant into two groups. One group of women had people praying for them and the other half did not. Results showed that there was a larger number of women who got pregnant from the prayer group....hmmmmm....anyone feel like praying for me?? St Gerard is the Patron Saint of Motherhood so all impregnation requests should go directly to him:)

Please refrain from breaking into song after reading the post title!!! Okay, so two days until the embies are returned to the mothership...nanu nanu. I have taken off of work Wed-Fri so I will have a nice long 5 day weekend. Sounds great, however, by day 3 I am about to pull my hair out....daytime television is horrible!!! I think that Maury Povich singlehandedly keeps the paternity testing companies in business. I am so anxious for all of this and it is going to go by so fast....too fast. I am driving myself crazy with what if's for these next two days, should I get my hair done, should I work out, should I eat certain foods while avoiding others???? Stop the insanity!!!!

Transfer is still set for Oct 1st!!! The first is a good day right...I mean my birthday is Aug 1st and Dave's Bday is Sept 1st so this falls right in line:) Everything looks perfect, my lining is an 11 and anything over 7 is good....woo hoo!!!! I asked Dr A. what he thought about my transfer and how confident he felt about the thaw. He said he believes that they should all thaw well and that we should be able to transfer all three!! I realize that he is just a Dr and therefore can not see the future (though sometimes I feel like he should for the $ we pay) so I will just take his words and hold on to them and hope he is right!!! Now tonight I get to stick myself with needles of numerous shapes and sizes all the while swallowing down a handful of pills...sounds like fun right!?!?! Poor Dave will have to give me my butt shots every other night instead of every three nights.....wait a minute, poor Dave, more like poor butt!!!

So I am anxiously waiting for my 11:30 Dr appt this afternoon. I am hoping that my lining looks absolutely perfect and that my blood work comes back where it should. It is crazy to think that we will be transferring in six (6) days if they keep everything the same......fingers crossed!!!

Okay, so this is my first post here (thanks to Jodie). I have been married for just over 5 years ~ together just over ten and we have spent almost three of those years trying to have a baby. We have been through lots of tests and blood work and disappointment, however, we have managed to remain our positive happy selves. It hasn't been easy, especially when everyone (literally) ended up pregnant and then delivered and then celebrated birthdays with their new families, but we celebrated and smiled with them (while we secretly wondered "what the #*@!").

I have to say, all in all, infertility has made us both so much stronger. As much sorrow as this journey has brought to us I would not take it back for anything!! It has defined me in ways that I am not sure many things can. I feel like I am really coming to terms with all of this, the anger and sadness that used to accompany it is slowing dissolving.....at least until the next pregnancy announcement:):):)

I can not believe that October is a week away, and with the 1st day of October comes my transfer!!! How scary!!! I hate the fact that we will not know how our three little embies thawed until the day of....as if I have that kind of patience, well I guess infertility has given me plenty of that:) I go to the Dr tomorrow to see how my lining is looking... hopefully it is nice and thick so that my embies have a comfy place to stay for 9 months;)
