Bored

So the fudgesicle I just ate is probably the highlight of my evening so far. In other words, I'm bored. My husband is working on an electrical project with a co-worker, and there seems to be a break in my summer TV programming. No SYTYCD anymore, etc. It's nights like these that make me really, really certain that I am ready for that next stage of my life (parenthood). Obviously I am not looking to start a family simply because I have nothing better to do! But I am definitely yearning for something more....I am ready for something more. D and the fur-babies are not enough to complete me, this I know.

It is time; I am ready!

Also, I saw a new acupunturist (?) (not sure on her exact title) today. She asked much more detailed questions about my menstrual flow, length, etc. She wanted to know about my sister's "flow" (how should I know?!!) She also wanted to know exactly how large my follicles have been on each u/s, how large they were on which day, and which side they were on. This really made me feel like I haven't been asking enough, or the correct questions at my appts. The u/s appts are usually pretty quick. They generally verbally say their findings, but it's been in pretty vague terms like "oh, you have a couple, but they're still pretty small". The last time he did say the measurements quickly as he marked them, but nothing was memorable or made me think I should be writing it down or asking more questions. Now I feel like I totally missed the boat by not documenting every little thing. The REs just give off this extremely confident air that they have everything figured out. I don't know how to explain it exactly.

I did have a list of questions to ask the last time I was there, but I think I will be asking more and taking more notes from now on!

Acupuncture

So acupuncture. I had my second session today. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I am obviously willing to give it a try, but I have doubts that it will do much. Luckily I only have to pay $35/session, which seems fairly minimal in the grand scheme of things. It seems to be a popular thing to try; I just don't have any confirmation that it works!

Also, I have to say I'm really blessed to not be part of Baby Central right now. I know many woman (and men) who are struggling with fertility have to deal with it front and center in their face with everyone they know. Besides coworkers, which are aplenty since I work in healthcare, I only have 2 friends who have had a baby, which is pretty crazy considering I'm 31! I think that would make this all so much harder to deal with.

Dealing with it at work is hard enough. This is one of the 1st times in my 3 years there that someone in my dept isn't pregnant currently. Most of them all TTC for about 2 months, if that. So they definitely cannot relate to me!
