Slight change

Just a slight change from what my nurse told me yesterday. I am to go in for blood work and we'll start estrace around 4/15 not 3/22. I guess there was a mix up with the fact that we wanted to cycle end of April not March. A bit uneasy that my nurse didn't recall that since it was documented in emails months ago...but oh well. Nothing really changes - just makes more sense now that I'll be gearing up right before my April cycle start instead of in 2 weeks. I'm glad I clarified though. Had I been an IVF newbie, I woulda just taken her instructions without question. Just goes to show that you have to be an advocate with your own care!

Things are really picking up with hubbys job search. He received some positive feedback today and follow up questions regarding an interview that he had last week. It's a good sign. I really hope he gets this job (or any job) soon. But on the other hand, that makes it more difficult to take a week vacation right after starting a new job. If he gets it, we may have to delay or figure out an alternative involving my son and I flying out alone instead of the 3 of us driving and then him flying out when I trigger or something. We'll cross that bridge if we have to I guess. 

Prep update

Last week I was waiting for my period. It was 3 days late. Not a big deal now that we've decided to drive instead of fly to NJ. Just glad we didn't buy plane tickets as we'd definitely have to change them since my period was late.  I'll be getting blood work done and starting estrace on 3/22. Estrace is taken so a lead follicle doesn't develop during my IVF cycle so I'm told.  

Hubby and I talked and we aren't moving things back. He agreed that there will never be a "perfect" time. If he happens to have a job by then, we'll figure it out then. So we are still on for doing this around the end of April. My plan is to take pto from work so I don't have any added stress. Of course exact date of my pto will depend on when my period decides to come. 

Going to call tomorrow to arrange for payment and getting my prior authorization with my insurance in place. Will probably start shopping for hotels this weekend and figuring out what to do while we are there. It would be foolish to be so close to NY and not make at least an afternoon visit there. So I'll see what options there are regarding tours etc. 

Other than that, not much is happening. Just a whole lot of waiting!
