  PAIF update:

   

  Nothing much going on - we have another appointment next week (Tuesday) where we will get some (more) genetic counseling and scans to see how growth is going.

  To tell you the truth - I am scared and petrified. I live almost every day with the fear of something going wrong and I have such anxiety attacks before my visits. I hate IF (as do we all).

  Not much going on here.. except that I am smack in the middle of my 5th ivf cycle.  My anxiety level is through the roof.  I'm sure the fact that I know this will be our last cycle with my OE is causing the added anxiety.  I'm trying to fall back on the fact that so far things are looking pretty good in comparison with prior cycles (especially ivf #4 which was a complete disaster).  Fifth time the charm... right?

  Rachel, I cannot even begin to imagine the anxiety you must be feeling... know that we are all here and routing for you!

  Rachel Glad things are going well. I finally after a lot of anxiousness realized I had no control so I was going to stop driving my self beserk it was harder than i thought but every time I start to panic I listen to a certain music set. I have no trained myself to relax when it comes on, I would give it a try. 

   

  My blood never got to california so all my worrying about the result was for nothing and $80 to fedex is down the tubes. So we will see tomorrow and then I will retake my blood if the labs are open on MLK day because the lab only accepts blood M-W.

  Can you put in a claim with Fedex - you know when it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight? I would try - no harm, they might give it to you or they might give you free shipping on the next one.

   Thanks for the tip on the music - I will try it - I just might have to listen to music all day long though ... lol
