My big box o' goods arrived yesterday while I was at work...you think DH would have opened it and put the necessary items in the fridge seeing the HUGE "open immediately needs refrigeration" sticker on the box....Nope! Thankfully it was still cold when I got home at 10. Anyway, my new protocol has me excited and worried at the same time. This was the protocol I wanted to do and my new RE thinks this is it, so that makes me hopeful/excited BUT on the other side of my fence I worry because what if this "solution to my IF" also fails?? After my first IVF, I've learned to not get my hopes up, without trying to be Negative Nelly. I guess I am nervous 
To top off all my new anxiety, I am sick....WHO gets sick on the Hottest days of the year?!? I never get sick! I blame my child patient last week who was coughing in my face...ugh.
Thanks for listening to my rant/vent! Happy hump day

Re: almost time...not so excited!?!
Hey Bethany, I know the anxiety of wow - something new that might work and then the nervousness of wow - it might not work. I tried to relay this exact sentiment to DH last week and all he could say is he feels positive. Sorry you are sick - that is never any fun - hope you feel better soon.
