- I painted again last night. Black, bloody uterus, biohazard containers, lots of lovely follicles in blue, vials of sprm. (What's that? LG wanted to know. Will you teach me to paint like that on the weekend?)
- I am meeting with the real lawyer next week. Although I will have to pay her (which I wouldn't have to do if I met with A's friend), she sounds awesome; she's tinkering with a standard contract to eliminate "intended father" language; and we have a shared alma mater. My ducklings are lining up nicely.
- Just got off the phone with the nurse, who said she sees no reason March won't work. Scheduled for mock transfer, physical exam and all kinds of goodies. I was hoping to get that out of the way on Monday when I meet with Dr. G, but I guess having an IUI precludes that possibility (duh). Still, we arranged all of my monitoring on Tues/Thurs, none conflicts with the conference I'm going to (the week before retrieval!!!), and the donor is scheduled and things look good. Sigh. It will be an intense month, but absolutely no time for moping. And that's exactly why I needed this to be MARCH.
- IrrationalEx, you are so right. What the acupuncturist is asking me to do is nuts. (Although I still might talk to my neighbors about herbs. Herbs okay. Medical Food? No way.)
- And now, folks, I'm going to take a walk around my neighborhood in the snow.

I think this sounds like great forward progress. Yeah, it will be stressful, but March is SOON and you can focus on the tasks (shots, appointments, etc) which is always a nice distraction from thinking about the "what the fuck am I doing" part of IF treatments.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the snow!
Congrats on getting all these logistics done! That always settles my soul a little. Maybe you can paint the next uterus grey instead of black, and by march it might even be fertile green!
