Our IVF info session is tonight, with our appointments tomorrow. Mr. M has to get another SA (I’m beginning to wonder about him, he says it’s fun; he tries to impress the nurses with how quickly he can get it done…) and I have my ultrasound followed by our meeting with the doctor and nurse. I’m not too worried about that, I’ve had so many people in my business over the last year; they aren’t going to tell us anything we don’t already know.

What I am worried about is the information session tonight. What if we run into someone we know? Mr. M works in our predominant industry as technical sales. It’s a running joke between us that we can’t get anything done without running into at least two people he knows. So what is appropriate small talk if you run into someone at an IVF info session? “Is it you or her?” “PCOS or Endometriosis?” I mean, really, it’s not like you can ignore the fact that a) you know each other, or b) you are at an information session for infertility. Awkward…

Anyway, I’m getting excited for the whole process to begin. I expect to make my first call in mid-June to see if I can get in that month. It’s unlikely, but I did get in the clinic in half the time I expected to. I can think of a hundred reasons why they won’t have very many people doing IVF right now; the economy, summer vacations, etc. I feel pretty confident I won’t have to wait long. Even if I do, I plan on taking the extra time I’ve been given to knit up some baby stuff and make a few baby quilts. I know there is always the possibility that I may never have another baby but then I’ll just have a nice stock of hand made baby gifts at the ready.
