I had my u/s and bloodwork this morning and all was well. C.CRM cleared me to begin medications tomorrow, and I will be flying out to Denver on Tuesday for the remainder of the cycle. Can't believe it's finally here! I am so relieved to get past the first step.
It's going to be rather odd shooting up in a hotel room alone on Thanksgiving, but (sad as it is) I'd rather be doing that than anything else at this point. I am so ready to get some answers - anything that brings me closer to that step is welcome right now.
The part I will absolutely hate is having to talk to my family and lie about where I am, but I just have to. It's so much easier doing this without the weight of other people's hopes and expectations to contend with. And I have all of you for support, which is why I'm so glad I have this blog.
I highly doubt any of you will be in Denver next week given that it's Thanksgiving, but if anyone is and feels like meeting up, drop me a line! It would be nice to meet some of you and have some company while I wait to H to show up.
That's it for now. Cross your fingers for me, I need all the help I can get!
Good luck! Fingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteWHoohoo! Newbie, I am so happy for you! Even if it means spending Thanksgiving alone, it's ok, you on a very important mission. It's good you just saw your family during your wedding week. I'm not a very good liar, but it's a little easier to do now that we all have cell phones. Thanksgiving is usually beautiful in Colorado - Make sure you get some turkey and fixin's at Whole Foods. Will your husband be with you?
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed like crazy!
Great news! I am excited for you. I fly in on November 28th. ER is schedule for Nov. 29th if all goes well. During the ER you have a lot of down time so go shopping, take yourself to a movie and know that this will be you last Thanksgiving alone! Keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you! Totally understandable about not wanting to tell your family and friends - it's hard enough to manage our own hopes and expectations let alone other people's - and you're absolutely right, we're all here for you!!
ReplyDeleteVery exciting!!! I understand the secrecy thing. Minimal Minimal Minimal people in our lives know about this time. It will be very hard with it being holiday time and the lack of holding a glass of wine, but we'll figure it out :)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant news. Just pretend you are a Brit, we don't celebrate Thankgiving (obviously)! Best of luck, I hope your hotel has wifi.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I'm sorry that you won't be with your family on Thanksgiving but it will be worth it. I'll be thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! We are there right now, but we're leaving on Sunday. Too bad! The good news for you is that the Target in Park Meadows has a big banner on it's building that says they are open from 8-2 on Thanksgiving Day. Odd, but hey, it's something to do :) Good luck!!!
ReplyDeletewishing you so much luck with this cycle! glad you're moving forward!

Good luck and safe travels! I totally hear you on the "cone of silence" -- who needs hassling on how things are going? They'll know when they need to! : )
