Friday

So it's finally Friday... It seems that short weeks always seem the longest. Why is that?

I had my mock transfer on Wednesday, which was easy. Though I'm going to have to figure out how to drink even more water for the real deal (ET) as my bladder was not anywhere near being full enough, even though I felt like I was going to burst. It's pretty wild how the uterus lays down like a dog under a full bladder, nice to know. My ultrasound was a little clearer, but I didn't get a pic. It still looks odd to me, but he measured my remaining septum at 5mm, so well under the 1cm he said he wanted to be able to proceed without going back in again for surgery. I had finally stopped spotting (5 weeks post-op), but there was a blob in the middle of my ute that he said would also likely come out at some point. Thanks for giving me something exciting to look forward to... ;)

I'm finishing up my post-mock antibiotics today and waiting for my IVF meds to arrive tomorrow. Also waiting to ovulate, so I can start my Lupron. Thinking Sunday is the day, CD 17 of course, so we'll see if my body cooperates.

As seems to be the trend lately, my idea of taking leave for my IVF is falling apart. I had thought that I could just take unpaid leave, but the geniuses in HR told me to apply for STD (which I am very unlikely to receive). So I get to spend my free time playing phone tag with the good folks at Liberty Mutual (ironically the co. that I wanted to move back to Boston to work for 18 mos ago, but I digress). HR thinks it will be approved, but I talked to my clinic and the RE will only write me out of work for two days, ER and ET. The fall back is personal leave, which is what I thought I would take, but apparently I have to use up all of my PTO (3 wks through the rest of the year) before I would be allowed to take unpaid personal leave. So now I'm thinking I'm going to try to see if I can't just do some kind of modified work schedule, some kind of part-time and work from home combo, but sadly I work for one of the least progressive companies in the world. :(

Good news from the gyne this week, my viral infection is the less serious of the two types and will not require daily treatment, unless of course the stress of life causes it to be unbearable for me to go without it. Yay for fewer meds, as I was on my way to some kind of record.

Still trying to figure out how to balance out my upcoming weekend. Thinking I'm going to have to lift my spending moratorium to make up for what is likely be good ol' time with the boobie vice tomorrow. Wish me luck! :)
