TTC after 35

no turning back...

Unless I want to lose money...lol.

My meds will be on my front porch tonight when I get home. Lupron tomorrow. I can't believe in just 40 days I will know if I'm pg or not. Waiting was SAFE but I have to jump in sometime!

Christmas canon from Trans-Siberian was on the radio this morning and I just broke down in tears. I'm so emotional. Shopping for my nephew and nieces will be done before transfer... just in case.

Sorry I'm just nervous babbling right now. I thought nerves were suppose to stop you from eating? :) Hope you ladies are having a great Tuesday and hugs for all that need them.

ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
