Busy weekend in baby loss and fertility world.

Yesterday the Parrish nurse, adult pastor and his wife came over for a visit to ``talk.``  My first lesson of the day was to not judge a book.  When the wife came in she was so quiet didn`t say much, she had her Coa.ch bag and hung it on her leg instead of putting it on the floor or on the table.

I sat them on the couch right across from Gavin`s pictures.  The pastor said they are very familiar.  They had their own loss, a little boy named Austin 14 years ago.  She obviously is still very emotional about the loss and was uncomfortable at first.  14 years ago there wasn`t nearly the resources that have been available to me now.

At the end they asked if there was anyways they could help us, what we thought we needed.  That is a question that I really don`t know how to answer.  I don`t know that Grief Share or another support group will help.  As I learned in my DISC training this past week I kind of doubt that I would have much to say or contribute.  Sure I might learn something by attending but I personally think I am coping well.

I was at the clinic this morning for my follicle scan.  Will and Brennan came with because Will and I finally got our karyotyping done.  Will had 1 tube of blood drawn and I had 9.  Just shows how unevenly balanced this whole fertility thing is.  Anyways I saw Dr T again today and she doesn`t really say what she saw. I saw by squinting at the machine that I have one at about 12 and a bunch of smaller ones.  I`ll go back either Tuesday or Thursday depending on what my e2 levels are today....just waiting on a call from the nurse.

I did end up booking a follow up with Dr M.  August 29!!  I also found out there will be no summer shut down this year.  Yeah!
