10 Day Coast

After all of my stress and complaining around the intensity of IVF, I have 10 days free of appointments, tests, and homework.  Sweet!

Yesterday was our consultation appointment with Dr B to talk about the risks related to IVF.  We already read the packet (part of our homework) and were not surprised by any new info.  She hit hard on the possibility of multiples and to be honest, I kind of hope for twins.  I prefer not to raise an only child and we aren't getting any younger, so I would welcome 2 at once.  For me, the scariest part of twins is the potential for premature births.

The next thing on our calendar is IVF class #1 on August 12.  If it is anything like the introductory workshop we had to attend before our first appointment with Dr B, it will be repeat info on the process of IVF, in a group setting.

In the meantime, we are enjoying some perfect summer weather in Oregon and spending time with our 17-year-old niece who is staying with us for 2 weeks.
