Today is the day I call my payment in for IVF/ICSI treatment and I have a feeling of nervousness and excitement. I am excited to finally get moving on with our treatment but nervous about what lies ahead. I am trying to take it one step at a time and trying not to jump ahead about all the what ifs.
When I got my package in the mail I felt so overwhelmed with the timelines, everything is timed... I don't live my life this way in the least and it makes me very nervous. I had to laugh on one of the notes that my partner and I are asked to make love on my 9th day of injections... LOL... Seriously??? They have got everything so timed including when I make love to my husband. Crazy! At least I can laugh at it. :Emoticons09757:
I never thought in a million years that conceiving a child would feel so icky. It feels icky to me because I feel like my personal life has been invaded, and everything feels so scientific to me. Nothing romantic about conceiving a child this way at all. Oh well what do you do? Nothing - but do as your told. :th_angrywife:
At least I am not so terrified of the needles anymore. I watched the videos on line and it doesn't look so bad after all. I will probably watch them a couple more times so I feel comfortable about what I am doing. The crappy part is that they have to be done during 1-5pm when I am at work and I will have to carry my meds to work and do it myself. Although one of my male co-workers was more than excited to offer his assistance, lol.
I know that soon none of this will even matter and that I will grow into a stronger person for having to go through all of this. I already feel as thought I have grown and that my relationship with DH has gotten even stronger.
Here is hoping for a :th_abfp: at the end of all this.

I wish you the best of luck! I know what you mean about getting the forms from the clinic--it's quite the package. That alone is a little stressful.
I hope that you get your BFP!

Hey Babyhope, I like to delegate the paying part to DH. Just so he feels more involved 
and I feel a little less stressed until the bills come in and have to deal with it.
You will do fine, I felt the waiting was the hardest part, so you have already done that.
Hugs

Awe, that was a really good blog entry You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you embark on your journey to parenthood. You are so right to take it one day at a time, though I sometimes find it difficult not to jump ahead with all the "what ifs".

Aww, wishing you all the best! We are getting ready to go for our first appointment which will involve an ultrasound and the injection teaching. I am hoping everything turns out right for us as well. It is quite a process and yes, I agree there is nothing romantic about conceiving this way. But all that matters is in the end we have the family we so desperately want.

Taking it one day at time is the approach to aim for and you will do great. I know what you mean about it all being anything but romantic, but - for what's it's worth, my relationship with DH has improved more than I knew was possible through this process (and I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before!). To me, that's a pretty good trade-off for a loss of romance.
All the best
