Countdown!

[grammarwoman]

It's official - we are on the clock for the next phase. Tonight were the final shots (for a couple of days, at least) to flip my ovaries from "Not Yet" to "Now now now!", and tomorrow my MiL is coming to stay with the Emperor while we overnight a couple of hours away. The eggstraction will be Monday morning, oh-so-early, and then depending on the fertilization results, we'll go in Thursday or Saturday for the implantation.

Now is the nervous time of waiting and patience, with so many points of potential trouble. I'm hoping for at least 8 good eggs for maximum chances, and at least half of those to fertilize and grow into healthy blobs. What comes of that step gets implanted. Theoretically we could have more than 3, in which case we'd freeze them, but that didn't happen in the previous rounds. After that is the dreaded two week wait, with the pregnancy test scheduled for the day after I get back from Vividcon. I am so glad to have that to distract me, even if it means I won't be drinking.

Even with a positive pregnancy test, I'm still not totally in the clear; I won't be breathing easy until the end of the first trimester.

Body, we can do this!

Good luck!!! And hang in there -- it sounds like an emotional rollercoaster for the next few weeks. <3

It really, really is, and it doesn't help that I have to keep hoping regardless of what has happened in the past. Thanks!

Fingers crossed! Also, you can join the club of people who are stone cold sober at the end of Club Vivid. There are usually about three of us. It is HILARIOUS.

Thank you, and Hee! I may be hepped up on dancing anyway, but yes, we shall gently mock. :)

Eep, it's going to be hard to do my work at Vividcon when I'm crossing my fingers so hard for you!

[grammarwoman]

:D Thanks! Feel free to flash me a crossed finger salute whenever you feel like it. I'm going to need it to get through the wait!

*HUGS* Thanks!

We really need to get together sometime soon. Lunch, clothing swap, SOMETHING. Or maybe I could make it to a gaming day, because I always seem to have something going on when those happen, or I just forget!
