Thanks again Jen

Just Another Crazy Weekend.
WOW!! I haven't be able to get on here in awhile - super busy, but what else is new - and I log in today to find that I have 18 followers and 1468 page views... that's crazy!! Thanks for taking the time to read my blog but please excuse the bad punctuation and grammar.
I never thought I'd ever be writing my thoughts down like this but I'm glad I did because with your support and the support of IVF.ca it's made my struggles with infertility, and now my dads battle with cancer, a lot easier to handle. Thanks everyone!!
The weekend went by very quick, yet again! G and I had our appointment with the psychologist at RFP Saturday morning. I think it went really well and I really enjoyed the conversation we had with the psychologist. That's another thing checked off our list for ORM. Yay!!
Good thing I decided to do the mock cycle for ORM next month because early Saturday morning, just before we get to RFP for our psych consult, I get a call from FedEx saying that their unable to release the Delestrogen to customs... what!?!?! The guy said that he looked on the Health Canada website and the drug has been recalled in Canada- I can't seem to find that documentation anywhere - and that it has many warnings with lots of bad side affects... well of course it has warnings and affects, it's a frickin drug for gosh sakes!!! Luckily I was on my way to RFP because I was able to get them to write up a letter so that - hopefully - the drug can be release but now I'm waiting to hear back from FedEx. Fun times!! Has this happened to any of you Canadian gals?
Friday I go for the Doppler U/S then it's the mock cycle next month and then we're off to the races, providing we find a donor soon.

A Little Catch Up
Just a quick post to catch up a little. Sorry I've been MIA. Things have been so crazy busy I just haven't had time to write. :( I miss you all though!!
So I had my Hysteroscopy and Endo Biopsy on May 24th - wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be - and I just got the results from ORM today. They said that everything looked great... Phew! AF also showed up today so I told the nurse at ORM who then says that we can start the mock cycle... YEAH?!? Well, it would be great but they want me on Delestrogen which we don't have here in Canada; which means I would have to get it shipped here but it would have to be here in 2 days because I'm to start the shots on day 3. I sent an e-mail asking if I could be put on the patches instead, I guess I'll wait to here from the nurse tomorrow and if they're OK with that then were on our way. If not I guess we could be moved up to next month which would suck but what ever.
Last Monday I went to my dads chemo with him. It was really nice to spend that alone time with him and to see what all goes on when he goes for his sessions. We went there for 9:00am for blood work then waited around to talk with the doctor and so he can see how he's been doing. Then we went outside and had lunch - it was nice to get out of the hospital for a bit. Then we went back in and waited for his chemo which was suppose to be at 1:00pm but he didn't end up getting it until 3:00, so we didn't get out of there until 6:00. It was a long day but I wouldn't have changed it for the world... well, minus the part where my dad has to get chemo. I really enjoyed spending the time with him.
Next CT scan is booked for July 12th. I pray that the results are good.

Welcome ICLW'ers!!
Hello All!!
This is my first time participating in ICLW and so far it's been great!! I've found a ton of new blogs to follow and I've gained 3 followers so far YAY!! I hope I don't disappoint!
I also love the fact that I've gotten some great responses to the "To Shave, Or Not To Shave, That Is The Question" post, so please keep them coming!! We need to have a little fun while having to go through all this, don't we?!? On that topic though, I do agree with the waxing, it hurts like b**ch but it lasts way longer.
I just want to send out a BIG thanks for all the support you all have shown me so far wither its for IF stuff or the stuff I'm going through with my dad and his newly diagnosis of unknown primary liver cancer. It's been great to be able to escape here and to chat with people who have gone though similar stuff, though I wouldn't wish it upon anyone, it has been great.
To read more about what I've gone through as far as IF goes you can check out my first post Here or...
In short, I'm a 34 your old with stage 4 endometriosis diagnosed at age 30. Started ART approx a year and a half ago. Check out "Our TTC Journey... So Far" to get a more summarized detail on the cycles we've done so far.
I've tried Acupuncture and taken tons of vitamins and still nothing to show for it. Next steps, G (my hubby) and I have chosen to seek out DE at Oregon Reproduction Medicine with Dr Hesla. FX that this step brings us to our dream of baby.
Happy ICLW Week!!
