My Journey
Useless Calculations
Sunday, May. 25, 2003 @ 2:47 p.m.

Life is pretty uneventful for me in the ttc world. I'm just waiting and waiting and waiting and making stupid useless calculations like:

-the day I'll probably start spotting: Wednesday-Friday (in 3-5 days)
-the day my period will start: Sunday (in 1 week)
-the day to test if my period doesn't come: Friday, June 6 (the day after school lets out and three days before my appointment with the fertility specialist)
-my due date, if pregnant: February 8, 2004

I called the RE (fertility specialist) Thursday to see if they got records of my lab work from my gynecologist. They did, so now all I have to do is wait until June 9.

I haven't told my family about the appointment my husband and I have with the RE. My husband hasn't told his family yet either. We will probably have to tell them soon, so I am beginning to think about what we should tell them and into how much detail we should go. So far the only person who knows (that I have actually seen and not met via computer) is my best friend from high school. Right now I am only telling people that ask me, and no one has asked much lately...and that's okay.

My friend's twin preemies are doing okay so far. This is the time when the doctors say problems are most likely to show themselves.
