With my husband not only do I need to remind him about things verbally around 3 times, but I also need to email him a reminder or two just so it’s in writing. I say this because this morning Den asks me if I’m working tomorrow and I say no, “but remember we have that IVF class tomorrow.” He stares at me completely blankly and says, “But I thought we weren’t doing that injects class??” I point out that the injects class was last week and no we didn’t do it, but we were doing the IVF class instead – something I have mentioned on at least three occassions to him, including the two seperate occasions where he made plans for him/us for tuesday and thursday (without checking with me) and both times I said, “What day is that? Okay then, as long as it’s not wednesday when we have our class to go to.” In fact, just last night I said to him, “I’m really looking forward to the IVF class!” and he replied, “I’m glad!” Mind like swiss cheese, people – mind like swiss cheese. See what I have to deal with every day?? (He’s now asked me to email him the info. Because by the time he gets to work? He won’t remember what time I told him it was at.)

My period has all but disappeared. Wonder if that says anything about my lining this month. Or maybe it just means that I spotted so much that there wasn’t much left. In either case, not much is happening. I haven’t had any more cramping or nausea since my period started – apparently I got that out of the way first too. It’s been the weirdest period yet.

I am really looking forward to the class tomorrow. It’s something productive! Not that I’m expecting to learn a lot more, for I am reader extraordinaire and like to fully educate myself. But Den is going with me and I know he’ll learn quite a bit – he listens to me talk, but only halfway (as his surprize at my “revelation” that we have an appointment tomorrow illustrates) so I know a lot of things will start sinking in for him tomorrow. And I’m just excited to get this class out of the way so I can make an appointment with the Dr. to determine our protocol and dosages and everything. (The clinic has a required order for doing things – the overview class, then the dr’s consult, then the protocol class – all before you start IVF of course.) Even if I do decide to wait until May to start IVF I’ll be glad to have the road paved.

Oh one interesting little tidbit: Den admitted to me yesterday that he’s hoping for twins. Which is kind of amusing because we both really did not want twins when we started this journey (the two of his siblings who have kids both have twins, if you can believe that – one identical set, one fraternal set). We just really wanted to have a “normal” pregnancy with a singleton and not have to do everything in duplicate like we have to do for all holidays with the nieces and nephews. And when I pointed that out to Den he said, “Yeah but then I expected to have children. Now…” I know what he means. If we have to do IVF to get pregnant and we only get two chances paid for… twins might be the only way we’ll have two children. We don’t know what the future holds. (But I am still hoping for a singleton, for so many reasons including my health, the babies’ health, and the money!)
