FET

Had my FET today, two embryos, both thawed out perfectly. I felt slightly teary when I saw them on the screen as J had the biggest smile on his face. I so hope this works. No medication to take, we're just hoping nature takes its course. My Dr crossed his fingers for us as we walked out.

I was starving as the appointment was an hour and half late. I had decided not to eat lunch at work as I was feeling a little nervous and I can see the hospital from my family's shop. So afterwards I scoffed down a falafel and was eyeing off the baclavas but told myself I couldn't afford the calories. Not to mention the money as our hot water system went belly up on Thursday and we had a new one installed on Friday.

I'm back at work on Monday, which is probably a good thing to take my mind off this 2ww. I also probably shouldn't garden, I was lugging bags of pine chips around, weeding, pruning etc. all holidays. I'm very excited as my rose gardens are growing fast and I should have a good show for my Cup Day egg hopper and curries party. A bit of a dilemma though as it looks like two of our horses might line up for races on Melbourne Cup Day, not the big race, but I would love to go as our syndicate gets owners' tickets and it would mean a spot in the stands not in the general lawn area, which looks like a Bacchanalian orgy by 11:00 am. I'm not kidding there are people passed out, girls with their dresses over their heads, sunburnt and chucking up. The men are not much better, although usually aggressive as well. If you want a drink you have to line up for an hour to buy cheap sparkling that costs $6.00 a bottle in real life but $22.00 at the races. We also might have a horse run the weekend after the Cup at Stakes Day so I might go to that instead.

I hate this optimistic feeling at the start of a FET. I've tried to keep it away, but the weather is so good and there are the things, mentioned above, to look forward to.
