Detour

Well here's a surprise. In vitro is being delayed a month!

It's already been five years, what's another few weeks?

*slams head against wall*

Aunt Flo made her appearance yesterday so this morning I called my clinic and told them I was ready to get going on the birth control pills that precede egg stimulation drugs, and during the conversation it was realized that if we do only the minimum time (2 weeks) on the birth control before the next drugs, we could possibly do the egg retrieval before Chad left for his two week annual army training. But! There is a possibility I would need to be on them another week, and then the retrieval and embryo implantation part would happen while he was gone. In essence I would be getting pregnant while my husband was away for the army. Ok, that sounds kind of awesome. But NO.

We all know how I feel about how the army shoves its big boogery nose in the middle of my personal business, so the thought of his not being present (again! last time the army hauled him off during this too!) for such a crucial part of this has made us decide that at the end of THIS month we'll do the birth control pill thing instead. I'm still having some labs drawn today and Chad is having a procedure done to save some of his little friends from a lifetime of swimming in circles, so we're not at a standstill.

At least that's what I'm telling myself because I truly am disappointed. I'm handling this better than anybody who knows me would expect though. Usually I would throw my body on the floor (new carpet, how nice!) and howl but right now I'm just shrugging my shoulders and saying "eh, oh well".

That residual holiday sugar high is coming in handy.
