Spreadsheet

Thanks for all of your comments. Taking it one step at a time is good advice. That this whole process is happening around xmas makes it a little harder...

I expect to get my period tomorrow. Based on my previous IVF cycles, I created a spreadsheet to see on what date different important dates would fall:

28-Nov	1
29-Nov	2
30-Nov	3
1-Dec	4
2-Dec	5
3-Dec	6
4-Dec	7
5-Dec	8
6-Dec	9
7-Dec	10
8-Dec	11
9-Dec	12	trigger
10-Dec	13
11-Dec	14	retrieval
12-Dec	15
13-Dec	16
14-Dec	17
15-Dec	18
16-Dec	19	transfer
17-Dec	20
18-Dec	21
19-Dec	22
20-Dec	23
21-Dec	24
22-Dec	25
23-Dec	26
24-Dec	27
25-Dec	28	beta

Yep, you read that right. Beta on xmas day. Which, since we'll be away the 23rd through the 30th, obviously isn't going to happen.

SO... I expect to be stressed out that week. But I'm trying not to think about it too much. We still have a lot to get through before we can worry about the beta.

Besides. It's not like my previous beta numbers were ever all that helpful. They tell you that is what you should look at in terms of the chances of the pregnancy being successful, but I've obviously been the exception to the rule through all of this.

Not that I'm counting my chickens- I still have to GET pregnant before I worry about a beta. And if I get my period over Christmas break, that's a pretty definite answer...

But first... on to the stims.
