Its been one of those days. It started out pretty good - talked to my mom real quick, jumped on a conference call, then took my time getting started "really" working. Took a shower, had some lunch, invited my neighbor to Bunco next week, received my deliveries from NIKE, found out my best friend is pregnant - after trying for about a year. Yes, I am still envious of her, but, I *patiently* continue my stay God's waiting room, waiting for my number to be called. Then, something else happened. Something that makes me (dare I say it) try to barter with God to please let everything be ok. Out of respect for my family's wish, I will not say what is *wrong* - although we aren't really sure if anything is yet. So, if you know me IRL or virtually, and you have the capacity to add me to yet another one of your prayer lists, please just ask God to bless my family with good health. And if you only have room on your list to pray for me once, I'd prefer you to add the good health item instead of this IVF actually working.
On a more fun note, I had my first tennis team practice tonight. It was fun - and a very nice release from today. I wasn't the best or worst player out there - which was really nice. I got a few good shots in, too :)
Today is day 28 of my cycle...last month I had a 31 day cycle and the month before was 35. Maybe I'll start soon and can start shooting up! One thing I haven't mentioned...is that this month I had a positive ovulation test for 5 days. What the hell? Has anyone else ever had that? Do you know what it means? My nurse told me that she wanted to take note of it, but that it wouldn't effect my protocol. (BTW - should that be effect or affect? I never caught on to that rule in Language Arts...). I watched some videos online of girls doing PIO shots themselves, and must I say that I think I will totally boost my ego if I do that to myself!!! "What huge balls you have, self!!" Hahahahaha.
I have been a little out of touch this week - was in training Monday and Tuesday so wasn't online much (does that imply that I blog at work??) and have been reading but not really commenting or posting. That being said, I want to send some prayers to my fellow "Cycle Sistas" (lukcy girls - yall have a head start on me!) Brenda and Shelby. Also, please give Shelby some love, as she says goodbye to her awesome furry friend.

Hugs, Tara. That is quite the day you have had. I will keep your family in my prayers that all is okay. I'm sorry you have this added stress and worry right now.
I'm stumped on the multiple +OPKs. I don't start stims until Tuesday so you won't be far behind!! Hoping the best for us all. Hang in there!!
Aw, Tara, thank you for the shout out. I will definitely be keeping your family in my prayers. I too have had a lot of family stress in the middle of everything else (and don't divulge on my site to keep their privacy) and I know how difficult it is. I hope everything resolves soon for you and yours.
I wishing you the best for your family.
Those girls that do their own PIO shots have ovaries!
In my prayers for IVF AND your family! YOu can have two prayers dont worry :) I'm just teasing but just wanted to drop in say hello and thinking of you!!!
WHo only has time for 1 prayer request of 2??? Of course I prayed for both...
My best friend got pregant on accident twice since I've been trying.... *sigh*
I can't believe you blog at work!!! That is so awful...I say sarcastically as I am at work right now.
I hope the health thing turns out OK. *hugs*
Weird about the OPKs... not sure on that one. I know they can stay pisitive for 12-36 hours... but 5 days? So strange.
I'll be thinking of you and your family. I hope you get to start your cycle soon, and I hope it's a success, and that everything with your family turns out alright. (*hugs*)
Hoping the best for your family, you will be in my prayers.
Sending good health and lovely IVF prayers to you and yours.
You can do the PIO yourself, I promise:
Warm the loaded syringe under the tap, switch to the injection needle, put all your weight on the opposite side from your day's injection site, ID your spot, count to 3 and DO IT, then walk around and massage the injection area to get the blood moving. Done!
After your first time you will wonder what all the fuss was about and you will WANT to be in charge of the shots for keeps. :)
Yes, I would totally be impressed if you did your own PIO shots! Hope all of your prayers are answered . . . .
There is something for you on my Page ---------> http://summerlynnsmith.blogspot.com/
I couldn't figure out how to put it here =)
