the journey to the center of my uterus

[robinsnest]

  So I took my five days of progesterone and very carefully timed it so that my period would start on Wednesday and I could have blood work done Friday (or Saturday if it was late). On friday afternoon at work suddenly I had spotting and was so nauseated I barely made it home. I was in a panic that my period would start on Friday and then day 3 would be Sunday. A day when both I had to work AND labcorp was closed. If there's a way to screw me over my body is usually always up for it. But I went to bed early and went with a "IF I DON'T REALIZE TILL MORNING THEN IT STARTED SATUDAY" which pretty much happened. I started the morning with my period. Crisis averted. Day 3 is tomorrow when I'm both off and Labcorp is open! Still crazy early but at least I can get my bloodwork done. 


And then today I made a joking comment to the night shift nurse who was nauseated...oh yeah guess what she's pregnant too. I feel like everyone I know has gotten pregnant in the last year. 

I bailed on the super bowl party tonight. This weekend at work was hellacious, we were short staffed and the kids were out of school for basically a week and they were climbing the walls. Then getting hit in the face on the way out the door was just too much. I came home to eat frozen pizza and cry into my dog. 

I need to get sewing tomorrow. someone make me.

Pregnancy is on your radar in a way it wasn't before. You are going to hear that everyone is pregnant, and/or you are going to see newborns *everywhere*. Soldier on and distract yourself with sewing!

Sewing is wise! It's theraputic!

So, when we were doing fertility treatment, they counted a period starting on a particular day if you have "full flow by 5pm." If that helps.

Since we have been through a huge journey in regards to fertility, I'm always happy to answer questions about any aspect of it. I was also terrified about uprooting our lives to have a kid I wasn't sure we would be able to have, but it's been amazing. So don't let that aspect of it derail you if you think it's something you want.

All the best to you!
