I'm supposed to be starting my first IVF cycle.
of course the RE nurse who's supposed to talk to me on day one to set things up...
...I'm on day 5 now and still waiting for her call.
So what am I suppose to have done when?
AS in on which day of this cycle am I supposed to have routine normal things done, preformed and tested>???
I feel utterly alone on this and so anxious I could cry.
I'm getting so paranoid I'm starting to think the RE nurse is deliberately delaying me as she may have a personal opinion as to weither I should have a baby or not....
....so as you see I'm getting less sleep and more stomach cramps than with a normal period.
God, help me!

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...

I did bloods on day four(instead of day 3 sunday) they were to check my hormone levels, like I've been doing every day 3 since June to check how menopause is coming along.
they also checked hiv (for the 8th time in 18 months, so I can safely say, I do not have hiv) and other tests like rubella.
I don't remeber all of them as there were 14 blood viles to fill and Im a big baby with needles, especially that slurping noise the tubes were making...urgh.
She emailed back to say monday would do fine.
Then said in the email that she'd phone yesterday,
well to make sure I left a message yesterday(there's no such thing as a direct line)
She didn't phone monday(yesterday) so I emailed her again last night,
and left another message today with the answering machine and also with the appointment schedualling only receptoinist(who's ace).
And now I'm thinking to email her again to make sure she has the right numbers.
So 3 emails, 3 phone messages and no ringing this end.
I dunno, maybe I don't need to do anything at all until day 21 of my cycle when I'm supposed to get lupron.
It would be jolly nice to know though, guessing what's what always has my head pickled.
I want to go to the store and buy food, but I won't leave the house until I get this call.
Thank God I work for my husband, I just hope I don't have a 3rd day off tomorrow and that I can go to my exercise class sometime this week.
I'm a silly sausage, but if you're not there when these people do call, they don't leave a messagea nd you have to do the whole dance to talk to them again.
im now magically restored into the rational person I used to be!
Everything is going to plan and we haven't missed a beat!
Phew, though if only I'd been told that yesterday morning!
It's all good!
