Hi ladies,
Wondering if anyone can relate. Do you find that with all this IVF stuff, you really have to put planning on hold? I have a reunion with friends over Memorial Day weekend, but being that I started stims last night, it seems that time-wise, I will likely either have a) monitoring appointments over that weekend (usually every other day) or b) egg retrieval. I really want to see my friends, many of whom are flying in for this, but I can't justify driving 5 hours (and all the stress of that) to only have to leave the next day. Plus one friend is pregnant, and this other girl who honestly gets on my nerves as it is, just informed us she is as well with her second child. (She informed us a few months ago that she would like to be pregnant during the reunion - must be nice to be able to plan your pregnancies...) So even if it turns out appointments won't get in the way, I'm really not looking forward to hearing pregnancy talk all weekend, then trying to sneak in my meds, explain why I'm not drinking, and avoid questions about when I'm going to be having a baby... And if I don't go at the last minute, how do I explain that? (I'm a terrible liar) And I'll feel depressed because I won't see my friends. Seems like there's no good option for me here. And thus adding I feel so discouraged and down lately. Any advice?
