Time to Catch Up

I promised myself I would be more up to date with this blog.  I'm such a liar!

Well to be honest there really hasn't been much to report.  The new clinic is a slow moving one.  If we had gone to the clinic in TO we probably would have had a transfer already.  But things happen for a reason.  Going to Toronto meant that time needed to be taken off work, lives had to be affected and we opted not to go that route. We wanted stress free (as much as possible), and we wanted to be close to home.  Our clinic does things differently and we appreciate that.  There will be some different protocols this time around and we are excited to try them.

I held my ground and won't be required to do the injections this time around.  Progesterone is still required but I have opted for the 3 times a day suppository.  It may be more of a hassle but I plan to be running this time around and I can't run with butt cheeks full of oil that won't absorb.

So where do we stand now?  It's the waiting game...isn't it always?  Right now we are waiting to hear from the clinic as to when we can start the trial month.  IM and I will be on our meds to see how each one responds.  They will be checking her follicle count and for me they just want to see that my uterus is still "top shelf".  If everything looks good we will get the green light for an actual cycle the following month.  Our hope it transfer in March but it all depends on how busy they are and how the trial month went.

We could use all the positive vibes you can send our way.

One thing this waiting has given us is the opportunity to develop a relationship with a great couple.  I consider them friends and look forward to all of this with them.  Having the IP's in the same city is really nice.  We get together about once a month.  We go on double dates for dinner and movies.  It's a bonus that they like the same movies we do.  To us it just feels like we are with friends we have known for a long time.

We've had them over for dinner and to meet the rest of our clan.  I was happy to see my children didn't scare them off from becoming parents.  It really could have gone either way!

Ok, here's where I stop yammering.  I've gotten you up to speed and I promise to be better at this from now on.  Pinkie Swear!
