Update

I have been way too tired to make a coherent post in this blog. I get home from work at 8 PM and more or less go to bed after a wee bit of 'net surfing. I have finally started my new schedule of working 11a-7:30p. I am really enjoying work (for once!) and have let go of some of the stress of my previous job. There is still a little bit of work that continues to haunt me, but I can deal with it (annoying though it may be).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a week of paraben-free skin care, my face is definitely clearer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My last BCP is on 2/4. I am looking forward to that. I will start stims on 2/9. Wacky hormones, here we go! I can only pray that I don't bite anyone's head off at work until I am on vacation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our neighbor's daughter is turning 1 in two weeks. They are very nice, but I am seriously considering skipping out on this shindig even though we live right next door. There are bound to be tons of kiddos and this is about 4 days before my egg retrieval when I will be whacked out on stims. I will probably get a gift, but I am thinking about having someone else buy it for me so I don't have to set foot in a baby store or even a baby website. I am all about serenity now!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We got a wedding invitation in the mail that I am very very excited about. The groom is a lymphoma/bone marrow transplant survivor and the bride is the picture of devotion. They were engaged 4 years ago after he was declared in remission from his first round of treatment only to relapse. They have been through more than anyone I know and this day will be truly joyous for them. I got teary eyed when I saw the invite, so I am quite certain that I will be a blubbering mess at the wedding. But it's all for a very good reason.

Best of luck starting your meds tomorrow! And so smart to plan to distract yourself during your 2ww. I spent the entire time (literally) reading IF blogs, googling symptoms, posting on IVF messageboards and watching those stupid Baby Story shows on tv.

My next 2ww starts on Monday, so I think I'll make a carepackage this weekend. Thanks for the idea.

Good luck!!
