Don't Drink the Water!

That's been the phrase of the year so far at work. On Tues there were 4 (yes, you read that right 4) pregnancy announcements at work. Talk about a real kick in the groin. They were spread out a little bit. 2 were within 10 min of each other (followed by a text message containing ultrasound pictures from a friend) and the other 2 were a couple hours later. Luckily, I didn't hear the last 2 in person and one of them is still in the closet. We don't know who it is, just that there are 5 pregnancies...so far anyway (there are a few people who could still announce this week...)

It seems that one of the women is pregnant through IVF - I'm keeping my ears open to see if I can catch her talking about it. Then maybe I wouldn't feel like too big of a freak if I pick her brain about it. Part of me thinks it is too soon to start worrying about IVF or adoption, but the cost makes me think that I should at start doing research just in case.

The pregnancy announcements were a little hard to take, but I think I did ok. There was only about 30 sec of tears in the bathroom before I went to my meeting and smiled. I suppose I haven't asked as many questions as I would if we hadn't been trying. A good thing did come out of it I guess. DH finally convinced me to call and make an appointment with an RE. The appointment is the second week in Feb. They could have gotten us in this next week, but I really want to see how this cycle pans out. It is the ultimate test of all the "relax" or "take a vacation" myths out there. Becuase, as it turns out, I am scheduled to ovulate while we are in Vegas! That would be a spectacular souvenire. So the appointment is schedule for the week after cycle 15 should be starting (hopefully it won't!).
