2009 - A big year!

This year is going to be a a big one for my family. My twin sisters are both getting married ! One in June and the other in October. It's bittersweet...I am so happy for them but they are 6 years younger than me and I always thought i'd have a few little kids running around at their weddings. I'm hoping that i'll at least be preggers by October- possibly 8 mths if all goes well next week! I might need a massive bridesmaids dress :-)


I'm going to be a bridesmaid for both of them. For the June wedding we'll be wearing this lovely dress -

I could be 5 months pregnant so hopefully it will fit - we are going to wait until after this IVF before we order them. If I have a BFP i'll order a bigger size and then get it adjusted if needed. It's hard planning for something that might be or might not be.....

I've been having trouble uploading the cheesecake pics. I can upload them but then it's really difficult to get them in the right place between the text and I also can't figure out how to turn them - some of them are sideways when uploaded to blogger. Any suggestions?




Day 7 of Stims

I went for my Day 6 bloodtest yesterday - got poked and prodded again!! The nurse told me I have very fine veins and they keep collapsing. I have had this problem in the past but never during IVF - until now! I know it's not a big deal though...I just feel like complaining again :-) Tomorrow when I go again i'm going to drink 1L of water beforehand.....maybe it will help.

The last few days my ovaries have been aching! I had stabbing pains on the left side. Feeling uncomfy and bloated. Mentioned it to the nurse and she didn't seem concerned. I see the doctor tomorrow for the scan - I hope the follies are doing well!!!

I bought some stretchy waistband pants yesterday in preparation for next week. Last cycle I walked around with my pants unbuttoned for a week - with a rubber band to hold them together. ha! I'm more prepared this time!



5 days to egg retrieval!!



I haven't been doing very well with ICLW. I've had a rough last few days but will definitely be catching up on all the missed commenting. Thanks again for visiting me and I will be visiting you ALL soon.



Hope your cycles are all going well!!!! My thoughts are will you all!!! :-)
