AFM: Welp, I O'd early (yesterday), which is the earliest I've ever O'd!
Good thing I decided to start opk that day or I'd have missed it! Fortunately, we managed to get in a BD session that night (it was assigned so we would have tried anyway, but we def needed to try with pos opk), even though poor DH was knackered from work and the drive home, and we were both feeling icky cause of the weather (everyone who could get a snow day, got one, but no such luck for DH). Ah, but we aren't in with as good of a chance as we would be if I'd O'd later and we got all our assigned bunny days in before O. :/ Not that I was hopeful for a bfp, regardless, since our chances are now slim at best for natural + femara. Oh well, hopefully we'll have better luck with IVF.
Speaking of IVF, I had a hassle with the paperwork, as they spelt my email wrong and my first name wrong. The paperwork didn't arrive and I had to call to find out why not and get them to resend the paperwork to the correct address, and when it came I had to cross out the misspelling and initial and call back to make sure that was okay and that they didn't need to send new ones (my first name is in my email address I gave them, so once they got that wrong it had a domino effect). They were very nice and got it straightened out quickly once we found out where the error was, but still...aggravation I didn't need.
Now I've got the paperwork signed and just need to get DH to read and sign, and then send it back tonight or tomorrow, so they can process it Monday and the dough can be on its way to the clinic. They said it would only take 24hrs for the funds to arrive at the clinic, but I want to make sure I keep it moving in case of another snag, esp. since I've O'd earlier and have less room for delays.
On the bright side, I've learned what happens if I get a miracle bfp and don't need the treatment - the loan broker will request a refund from the clinic and reimburse the lender and then I will get all but a $500 administrative fee, and any interest already accrued on the loan, back. So that's good to know. Although I don't think it will be an issue. I think IVF is just gonna be my cross to bear.
On that note, I've been struggling today with worries that IVF won't work for me, even with over 90% odds in my favor as far as the docs can tell, right now. My immediate worry is that they won't be able to control my cycle like they need to (since the doc was surprised at all the spotting the femara caused). I'm worried that I've got some kind of loose cannon reproductive system that can't be tamed or will be really difficult to tame and cause delays, cancellations, and/or failures. I'm worried about the many various things that could go wrong in each step of the cycle (like not getting good follicles or not getting good follicle growth or getting too many follicles or too much follicle growth or they will release before they can retrieve them, etc.). I'm worried I won't get good eggs, or we won't make good embies. I'd at least like each step of the process to go reasonably well until I have an embie or two put back in and it's all in God's hands.
I think I'm going to join an IVF group, in addition to kicking it with you ladies, for some additional support, since IVF is kinda scary and intense.
