Getting closer

This morning I called the IF center to reschedule my intake because it was conflicting with an out-of-town friend's visit and it was cutting close to when I was suppose to get AF.  When I called, the receptionist gave me the choice of a female on the 3rd or a male on the 5th. I chose the 5th. So, my appt is in less than a week. Holy Cow! I think I will be saying that a lot in the coming weeks. eek. This is crazy.

Tonight after dinner I check my email and was surprised to find an email from the IF center. It was full of all the paperwork that I need to fill out before my appt. which includes health history, sexual history, pregnancy history, what organs I'm willing to donate for a chance at a healthy pregnancy...just kidding...There was also information on infertility counseling and what vitamins I should be taking at least one month prior to conceiving.

I called and scheduled my yearly exam for the 3rd as well. ick. I think the last time I had a yearly was 3? 4? years ago. I've been to this practice before and liked the cnm I saw, but she is no longer there. I heard great things about the person I will be seeing on the 3rd. I hope we hit it off well. It would be nice to already know who will be handling my care if there is a pregnancy at the end of this...a girl can hope...

On Monday I will send some paperwork to the s*erm bank, have my blood work results sent to the IF center and wait some more ;-)

It's getting closer.

Holy Cow!

Things are moving along

Since the last time I posted I have been searching my heart, talking to friends and listening for signs of what to do. I've decided it would be best to head back to the fertility center where they have all the fancy equipment and big opinions. I know if I did the procedure at home and came out of it without a BFP I would always wonder if it was something I did. Now, if I get to the end of this short journey without a pregnancy I can blame the doctor lol.

So...

I scheduled an ever-loving pap for Friday and my intake with the fertility center on March 21.

EEK.

It's funny how things happen.

The front of my car after it was hit.

The last post was written early in the morning on the 8th of Dec. That afternoon my file at the sp*rm bank was finished so I was finally able to pay for the vials ensuring they were really mine. At 11:30 that night my car was hit head on and tossed across the street while it was parked in front of my mother's house.
There were pieces from both cars all over the street. The driver tried to pull a hit and run, but two of my mother's neighbors followed the car until it reached it's destination.
The cops were called and the neighbors took them to the house where the car stopped. It turns out the owner of the car was a 20 year old girl. Her story was that she was driving and fell asleep. Her boyfriend was also in the car and drunk. The police officer said they could tell she was covering for him, but no matter what they did she wouldn't tell the truth. So, the officer had no choice but to take her into jail and impound her (totaled) car. Now if she comes clean about her boyfriend being the driver she will have a class A misdemeanor on her record.

I hope she's able to learn from this experience...

Luckily, from my end the accident has been a blessing. Thanks to my mom's neighbors, we knew who was responsible and were able to act immediately. The driver of the car had great insurance. They put me in a rental less than 24 hours later and was given a fair settlement. Now, I'm able to buy a new vehicle with better gas mileage and with it being close to Christmas hopefully get a steal of a deal too.

I don't believe in coincidences. The timing was too perfect for it to be "random". I didn't push the feeling of wanting another child away like I've done many times before, the bank finding lost vials and I happen to come across them, my car being totaled only hours after I actually purchased the samples.  I know this was meant to happen. However, I'm wavering again on when to try. I know I need to do some more praying about it and seek out God's answer. Whatever that answer is I know I will be at peace with it.

All in God's time.
