Headache…..part deux and FINALLY another RE appointment

It just will not end. It runs up the back of my neck into the core of my brain. I get relief when propping it on something (and by “it” I mean my entire head). But how professional can one look at work if they answer calls, talk to co-workers and eat their lunch while their ear is sandwiched to the desk/table? It does not look professional; I know I have tried it. I have seen the “what the heck is wrong with her” stares……Is she ok? Is she listening for some small bit of information the table is trying to communicate to her? Should we see if she needs help? I have decided if someone ever does ask me I think I will just say “Nope just trying to make a baby” and watch the confusion set in.
We go to our next part of the 101 tomorrow morning, guess that makes it a 102, maybe? Karlis is thinking of taking a video camera and tripod to set up for the class. We are hoping the speaking in tongues portion will be kept to a minimum. We have to bag up and take the $4,000 (yes that is 3 zeros after the 4) worth of medication, needles, gauze, etc. that was sent to our doorstep in a 353# brown cardboard box right after the 101. I feel like we need a locked and bound briefcase to carry the stash and a bullet proof, window tinted SUV to transport us. Anyway we are hoping to hear that my ovaries are suppressed, my endometrial lining has thinned and that I have a low blood estrogen level. It is funny how we are now hoping and praying for words that we didn’t even know existed a few months ago. After doing countless hours of research and seeing how many lives are affected by infertility I have come to feel that it is a family I belong to that I didn't want to join, but there is a feeling of fulfillment to be able to speak for such an important cause.
Lastly, thank you all for your kind words. I LOVE that you read and enjoy my blog (yes it is all true and my husband really thinks he has hot flashes). I hope you get my sense of humor and learn some things along the way about infertility. I am no expert but I am learning daily. I know things can potentially get really bad but I am not going there until that faces us (if it ever does). It’s funny whenever I get an email, comment or many hits on our blog site I get so excited my hot flashes start. That is fine though I will gladly suffer through a few sweaty episodes for two things: a baby or hearing how many people are there for and supporting us.
