this isn't going to make sense now, but soon it will....
in order to do IVF, you have to get dated. that's when they count forward from days 1-3 of your period to the date you become pregnant. all the testing and drugs take place somewhere between the two.
in order to get dated, certian things need to happen, tests, meetings, finances, etc. in my case, it was weight-loss. being that the last time i did all this, i was under the magical age of 35. now, over 35 - there are weight standards our clinic empoyes for their protection, as well as the patients. i was a wee bit over, three pounds over.
and after being on the pill for two months, i was worried that i wasn't going to make it. so last weekend i bought a scale, to start mesasuring myself. and when i got on it today, it showed me a good five pounds over what the doctors office had. needless to say, i am going with the doctors office scale.
so there it is, we should be getting a phone call now to get things moving, the tests, meeting and finances. and i have to take a shot giving class. back in the old days, it was all sub-q and you just pinched your skin, held the hypo like a dart and counted to three. now it's all automated - with an epi-pen. seven year olds use an epi-pen, so i'm not sure what all will be covered in the 45 minute class.
we'll see. but look out baby two - here we come.
