This has been the longest week of my life...and it's only Wednesday. Waiting for IVF is very different than my experiences the last few months. Honestly, the docs keep asking me if I'm excited. The answer is NO. I'm not sure why. I'm trying very hard to be honest with myself about my feelings, the people in my life and the amount of support I have. I guess I'm scared...in general. To get pregnant, to not get pregnant, to have anesthesia, to stay home on bed rest for a few days, to carry a baby, to have a family...many thoughts are going through my head and the week keeps dragging. And I think that going throguh this month after month has made me kinda numb.
I'm sure I'll feel differently once the procedure is over. I usually do. The egg retrieval; as they call it is Friday morning. They suck like 10-15 ripe eggs right out of my ovaries. Then they fertilize them right then and there, wait 3-5 days and implant them back in which is similar to IUI.
This HAS to work!
