I'm feeling all emotional today. I need to ramble. Just a warning!
I started my period around 4 p.m. today, so when I called the RE to let them know, they told me I had to call back tomorrow (the real CD1). I must have sounded disappointed/scared because the nurse right away said, "So, I see this will be your first IVF cycle. Just give us a call in the morning and we'll walk you through all the steps. Take a deep breath." Love her!
So then I hung up the phone and realized I haven't had a physical in almost a year. It's been almost a year since I was referred to an RE. Wow. Then I started thinking about my GP (I've seen her since I was 15 and used to know her very well outside of the practice) and how badly she wanted the referral to be all I needed. That got me onto all the people who are supporting us and trying to help us get pregnant. Waterworks!
I'm going to get all FB AW post on you now. I feel so blessed to be where we are. How messed up is that? We are starting IVF soon, and I feel blessed? But really, we have families (ok, mine more than his) who love us and want this to happen. Our doctors want this to happen. The nurses want this to happen. My therapist wants this to happen. My acupuncturist wants this to happen. My friends IRL want this to happen. My friends on GP (that's you!) want this to happen. That's a heck of a lot of love and good vibes coming our way. Like I said, I'm crying again just thinking about it.
I apologize in advance for being a PW in the next coming weeks. I know others have told me to check out the Infertility board, but I seriously feel at home here on GP, and I know there are some awesome women here who have been through IVF and who will be great resources, and the support from those in various parts of their TTC journey is just what I need. I couldn't have reached this point without your support. Thank you. Big squishy hugs to all.

Re: No point. Rambling and long.
"I DO NOT love that you think so many things revolve around you. I know you're bitter. I get it. But I'm over your feelings." The best person on the internet ever!
I'm so glad you've got amazing people with you on this journey. It makes all the difference in the world in handling this rocky road. I would hate for you to be alone or not understood. Big ((hugs))! Feel free to ramble and post as much as you need!
