Aw! I may have to steal this idea! I try NOT to count up the dollars or hours spent, but maybe the reality would hit if I did! Good luck on Saturday and Monday. CD3 is a breeze. Take pain pills before your HSG and bring a panty liner so you don't have to waddle out in a diaper! Call me...I wanna hear how it all goes! :) When does Todd do his thing? Or did he dodge that one?
Priceless is exactly right.
Aww Kristen I am so sorry, I don't really have anywords for you other then I pray for you daily. You are going to be a wonderful mother!
I didn't meet Mr. Right until I was 34, and we got married a year and a half later (35.5, too). It certainly speeds things up a bit, huh? So much pressure, yet things just aren't quite the same as they apparently were before Mr. Right? Right? I liked your breakdown. It's amazing how much time, money, and energy we have (and will continue) to put into our search for mommyhood. Here's to both of us making that moment sooner, than later.
Still praying for you girl. Don't lose hope.
uh, I don't believe that you are 40.5 years old. You're lying. I'm gonna have to see some proof. I'm guessing more like 26, 27?
I feel your pain, I do. All of it, from the $$ spent, the time waiting, the blood drawn, all the strangers checking out your downstairs parts...it's the worst. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
I hope to hear your BFP soon, you're the one I'm waiting for. I want it so bad for you. So bad.
good luck on monday.
Kristin, you are in my daily thoughts that you have all of your dreams come true VERY soon.
