Well, everything is right on course. I have more than 10 eggs/follicles that are just waiting for their counterpart. Boy, I hope that I don’t have lesbian eggs!
I was also told the bad news that insurance would not pay for the conversion to IVF. Which, in my opinion is ridiculous. They require me to do these injectible inseminations - then when my body reacts to the drugs and produces mad amount of eggs (to the point of being unsafe) Blue Cross Blue Shield won’t take any responsibility.
We pondered for about 3 minutes going ahead and going forward with IVF so that we could limit the amount of embryos that could possibly attach…but we just can’t afford to do that at this time. It would cost approx $4,500 and with me home again — just not do-able.
So, tonight I take my Ovidrel (HCG shot) and tomorrow morning at 9:00am we go in for our first of two inseminations. Thank God Graem has daycare and so it’s just me and Margot and I don’t have to worry about Graem sliding around on the doctor’s floor. (Right where they do the inseminations. EWWW!)
I feel so bloated I can literally only eat a few bites and my bladder is feels so squished I have to go to the bathroom every 2 hours. Not to mention the good ole jeans were a bit tight this morning.
Tomorrow it’s stretchy pants!

So there’s a website of James D. Brausch which talks about different marketing strategies and internet business. He makes quick observations about marketing that does and does not work.
Just for saying that James D. Brausch is a cool guy — I get $5!
Yipee!

Well, it is halloween in pure Ithaca fashion today. I woke up and it was rainy looking and cloudy out. I finally see the sun but I’m not sure how long it’s going to be around.
I have a doctor’s appointment at 10am and then I’m going to take Grammy to the park or find a fun playground for her to romp around on. Poor kid — sitting through Mama’s appointments.
We think we’re going to go trick-or-treating in Fall Creek neighborhood. We would go to ours but literally don’t have many neighbors except The Jordons, Chuck and Family, and crazy lady across the street.
Hopefully, Graem will get some quality candy this year. The downfall of her being older/bigger is that she might not share her candy with us.

So once again tonight we tried to put Grammy into her lion suit. To no avail. Last night I was walking around with the lion jacket on over my head roaring like a lion.
Tonight Margot tried. That girl even put on the lion pants.
Gotta love a good Lion Mommy! Too bad her little cub wants to have nothing to do with her new costume!
