Finally... a plan

The wheels are finally in gear for another tet-a-tet with fate. January 23rd is the date. I have a nice 6 embryocicles just waiting to be warmed up and thrown into my waiting uterus. Nice image, no? Im feeling surprisingly optimistic about the whole thing. We currently fighting with the doctor though. For some reason he thinks tranferring 3 is a bad idea. What? you think triplets are bad? Please, we put in 2 last time and the one that took didnt have a skull. Im not super convinced Im going to have 3 super babies. And if I do? Good! Then I dont ever have to do this crap again. Apparently, although the frozen embryo transfer is easier, there is no surgery and I only have to go in for ultrasounds and blood work about 5 times (compared to the 30 times of a regular IVF cycle) I have the added bonus of extra shots in my ass. Thats right. my ass. Well, really my "hip" but the pain affects my sitting, so its my ass to me.
Anyway, its nice to finally have a plan.

Anyone Else??

Not to be bitter, but I am... can anyone ELSE get pregnant? Seriously. Why dont we rub it in just a little bit more. Besides one of my closest friends from college, who so lovingly told me how "easy it was for them to get pregnant" and a friend at work, lets see who else we've found out is pregnant since fate took a great big shit on my reproductive dreams...

Jamie Lynn Spears
Hallie Berry
Jennifer Lopez
Mellisa Joan Hart
Cate Blanchett
Nicole Richie
Jessica Alba
Brooke Burke
Christina Agulera
Lilly Allen (who normally wouldnt count, except that she's in all of the magazines.)

I expect we'll hear of at least 10 more before the beginning of February when Im due for my next kick in the nuts (also known as my likely negative next pregnancy test from an IVF)
