I'm starting to get a bit panicked here. I've been saying for a couple of months that I wanted to cycle again in October. Um, has anyone looked at a calendar? Because October is really really really close. And clearly the mister isn't the only one who's been procrastinating. Pot, here, reporting for duty.
I think the plan is in motion. Hell, the plan is snowballing and that's ok. I emailed my nurse today to see what we needed to do. Here's the list:
- Infectious Disease bloodwork for the 4 of us (I don't know why the mister has to do this. He's involved but not involved if you know what I mean. No samples, no tissue, no nothing).
- THREE appointments with the psychologist. One just with the donors. One just with us. One with the four of us.
- Meeting with Dr. Local to discuss the protocol. Nurse Nice asked if I could meet him next Monday afternoon. Duh, of course I can!
Oh, and there's the little matter of getting the contract finalized, to the attorney and all signed.
I'd prefer to get my thyroid in check before I cycle but maybe I'll settle for TSH levels and perhaps prolactin and a few other tests.
And if you're wondering about the rush to cycle, I'm heading to Thailand for 3 weeks in December so I think I need to have the transfer by the second week of November or not until January.
October! What was I thinking?
Hmm. Yeah, October is right around the corner. But it's probably as a good a time as any...there will always be a million things to do. Maybe you can push into late October?
Question about jam making.
Pectin or no pectin? Which side are you on?

For the very first time, ever, I'm absolutely certain about the band where one of your titles comes from. Not only that, but I saw them at the Cradle. I'm all puffed up with coolness, now!
October is soon, but you can do it!!!

Nope. Not the Long Winters. Green Day. I did not see Green Day at the cradle. I am still a dork and October is scary soon, but still doable.

October's awesome, and as good a month as any. And you'll be ready.
Thailand? Very cool. What's the occasion?

So glad it's coming up so fast, it's always so much better when there's work to be done on the fertility front.
