Day 1

Well, tomorrow is the day. We find out if we are pregnant, or we find out if we get to start all over. Either way, it's been a heck of a journey. We are pretty blessed to have insurance that covers the vast majority of the procedure. If not, a second attempt may not be on the table for some time.

I'm fairly confident the results will be good. Lots of things are in our favor and the odds are good. Still, there is a point in most things that we simply have no control over. This is one of those points. We've done all the preparation, we've done all the shots, pills, and tests. Now, it all comes down to a test we have no control over.

I've explained what the last few days are like before. I feel I should again. (It's my blog, I can do things like that).

It's that point when you are waiting for the stupid stick to turn blue...except it's not a few minutes. It's weeks. It's not "oh well, let's try again next month." It's 1-2 months of recovery, 2 more months of IVF (with all the meds, shots, blood draws, etc.) and several thousand dollars all over again.

So those of you who have waited for the stick to turn blue, imagine that, on crack, for 10 days.

To protect my sanity from the onslaught of stress, I chose to present comics. You can't think about that kind of stress, but you can laugh at it. You kinda have to.

Either way things go tomorrow, and I mean this, I want everyone to know Mo and I appreciate all the kind words, understanding thoughts, and heartfelt prayers we've received from friends and family. Keep an eye on FB (and eventually here) for the results.

oh, and here's a comic, it's the last one.
