...the number of days until our next FET. And only 6 days until our phone consult with CCRM. I'm actually pretty excited about both of those things. Unfortunately, I spent my mid-afternoon running around like a crazy lady. Somehow the copy service that our doctor's office/hospital uses, was late on getting the records out. They just arrived in the mail today, so I needed to get them faxed to CCRM right away. As luck would have it, they double sided all of the sheets, but the sheets needed to be one-sided to fax. Sigh. But the fun doesn't stop there. My place of work isn't the best place to fax the records from since I have a very nosy administrative assistant. So, I had to scan the records into the computer so I could send them to my husband. He's faxing them since he can do it a little more discreetly from his office. And, in case anyone out there is wondering, if you want to fax something at Office Depot/Max, etc...it's about $2-3 for the first page, and $1 PER page thereafter. As any IVF veteran can quickly tally in her head, that's going to be well over $50 to FAX something. I mean, you could overnight something cheaper!! We didn't go that route!
Anyway, I've officially toned down my post-failed IVF wine-drinking since DH has to cut out all alcohol 3 months before an IVF cycle. It takes about 3 months to turn over your sperm, and we're planning ahead in case our FET fails. We're so optimistic!! Maybe we're just realistic? But, that's the reason we're doing the CCRM consult so early. This way we have everything ready to roll if we need to do a fresh cycle after the holidays. So, I have instead taken to baking Halloween cookies. Not quite the same buzz, but they are delish!
