Domestic Partner Adult

This is my "status" as B's emergency contact at her new work!  YAY!!!  A little bit of acceptance goes a long way!!  And even better, B's new workplace offers partner insurance benefits AND they cover IVF!!  Not just the meds, but the actual procedure!!  Who'd have thunk it?!  I'm still hopeful that we won't need to utilize that benefit just yet, still in the TWW with no signs of the evil bitch, so I'm praying that the third time is a charm and we can use the IVF help for having B's baby!  


We're meeting with our RE on Thursday AM to discuss the "next step" unless we get a BFP before then.  I've been putting off testing -- 9 dpo seems a little early to me and I don't want to be disappointed.  It will be nice to talk to the RE two-on-one, and get some questions answered.  Although again, I am REALLY hoping we get to cancel the appt. in lieu of a beta test instead.  :)  


Hope all is well with everyone!!  Have a great week!!

TWW....take 3....

Hope everyone is doing spiffy in Blogland!  We are almost 4 days into the TWW and all is fine!  The IUI went off without a hitch on Saturday!  My progesterone level was 2.3, showing that I was ovulating, and when I got home from the IUI I peed on an ovulation predictor stick (just 'cause I had an extra one and I love peeing on things) and it was definitely positive!  Yay!!  It was the first "true" positive I've ever gotten on one of those sticks!  I was almost convinced that the sticks were broken!  Ha!  So timing looks pretty darn good, so we'll see what comes of try #3!


Life otherwise is pretty good around here -- my new job is going well and B starts her new job on Monday!  A lot of changes going on in our household, but they seem to be changes for the good, so hopefully our "baby-making" will follow suit!  


Congrats to all the BFP's out there and new babies, especially my friend Carey and her partner Janine!!  Can't wait to meet your little cutie when you're ready for visitors!!  

Distraction needed....

Hello fearless readers!  It is 5 DPO and I've not yet checked into a mental health facility, so I guess I'm doing well!  Ha!  Gotta say, this has been a slow 5 days, and I'm not feeling quite as "zen" as the ladies at 10stix, but I'm trying!  


Tonight we're going out with the chick who cuts our hair (fruit fly) and her lesbian friend in an attempt to make some friends in this area!  We haven't had the best luck finding good and reliable friends here, so we're hoping tonight will be a good start into a new friendship!  And what activity have we picked for our first platonic date?  Roller derby.  Never been before, but I can only imagine that nothing is as strong of a bonding experience as watching women skate around in circles while beating the hell out of one another!  Yippee!  That ought to take my mind off the potential zygote in my uterus right?!  Um...yeah, probably not, but at least maybe I'll only think about it 10 times in an hour, versus the usual 100.  :)  

Now I know what people are talking about....

The TWW is HARD!!  I want to know what's in my uterus and I want to know now...lol.  So far, no real symptoms of anything aside from being exhausted, slight tightness feeling in my uterus area, and my nips feel a little sensitive.  All could be side effects from the Ovidrel and totally unrelated.  So far I've worried about the following:


*  Hitting a pothole in my car and jiggling the egg loose.
*  Coughing or sneezing and causing the egg to fall out.
*  Laying on the wrong side of my body when I sleep and causing the egg to fall out of the fallopian tubes prematurely.
*  Getting stressed and pissy and the egg deciding it hates me and doesn't want to be my kid, so it falls out.  


I seriously think I'm losing my mind.... I can't even concentrate at work -- it's the worst ADD ever!  I'm in the middle of working on something for one of our patients, and the next thing I know, I'm Googling "which pregnancy test is the most accurate?"  (the general consensus is First Response, if anyone was wondering)... Ha!  
I'm only 3 days in to the TWW and it's seemed like a week.....this is going to be a long 11 days....yikes!  :)
