My 56 hour week. I'm pretty much wiped out but I did it. How do people do this on a regular basis? Holy shit I'm tired. And sore. So tonight (Saturday) is my night off and then I'm back to being available for Sun, Mon and Tues. Tonight I have sat on my hiney and watched all the shows I've DVR'd for the week. My apartment is a pit but I don't have the energy to do much with it. I've cleaned the kitchen a bit and done some laundry and run the dishwasher and that's about it. Not much else is going to get done unless I don't work tomorrow night.
The weather here is definitely getting cooler and I'm sort of amused by this. First off at the beginning of the week I was still using my AC a bit during the day so I could sleep. Now I'm about ready to turn my heat on!! Which brought me to the conclusion (which I have suspected for a while) that I have pretty much acclimated to California weather. When I came to Ca. a few years ago I remember thinking it was ungodly hot and miserable. Now I find that unless I'm in the direct sun (which I try to avoid with my fair skin) I don't usually mind the heat that much. This morning coming home from work I kept thinking "damn it's cold" and it was only like 50 degrees. I think it's colder than that at home.
I've got my baseline scan for my IVF on Wednesday of this week. And for some reason I'm anxious about this. Maybe because I'm a bit of a freak. For some reason I keep having these reoccurring thoughts along the lines of "what if they see something that prevents me not only from going forward with my IVF now but ever?" Yup, see a freak. I don't know why but that's the kind of thing that goes through my mind. I try my best to just ignore it all. In the meantime I'm noticing a bit of the bitchiness that goes along with the bcps. Fun stuff. I've also noticed that I'm starting to itch again just a little bit. Even better. Hopefully it's just dry skin and I don't end up with a rash again. I've gotten a few offers for donated meds which are greatly appreciated. Thanks so much to those who have offered. I'm still not totally sure how much I still need but will post again when I know more. Thank you again everyone!!
I think this week I will just sit back and watch everyone elses show and tell since I don't have much to show. Except pictures of my cats or more of the (baby related) Daisy Kingdom stuff I've found.

I always have that fear. When we first started this IF treatment journey I was gun-ho and ready to go. Now I'm always procrastinating, because I'm afraid that another failed attempt means we'll never had a child.
*hugs* Enjoy your day off!
I always got nervous before the baseline too. I was always afraid of a big cyst or something that would make things delayed.
Yay for finishing a huge week!!
Rest, relax and I hope your appointment goes well on Wednesday.
Im anxious for you too. Your not a freak. Its normal fears that Im sure we all IVF'ers have had at some point. I know I did. I will be stalking your blog on Thursday (Wed. your time) for your update on the baseline.
Hi! Just saw on LFCA that you are looking for some meds. Am a little late but I do have about nine vials of Gonal F. However, the exp date is 9/2008 so I don't know if you would still want them. Anyway, if you want them they are yours. You can just reply to the comment or email me directly at htupper at gmail dot com. Best of luck!
Glad you're hanging in there! Hoping good things for your Wednesday appt.! And I know the sudden "cold" - it's 65 in Phoenix! - is going hand in hand with exceptionally dry weather. My lips feel like they want to flake off, and my hands are so, so dry. Drink lots of water!
56 hours- whew! My feet hurt just thinking about it!
I agree with Mrs.Spock... WHEW!
I would never, not as long as I live, be able to pull a week like that! Kudos to you!
