Frustrated by the waiting. I&#8217;m so tired of the waiting.<\/p>\n<p>On one of my forums I got a free reading from an aura reader. Now I am athiestic\/agnostic &#8211; so I&#8217;m really not sold on the whole idea. But there is a part of me that still holds onto the idea of forces beyond what we can see. So in any case, the reading was simple &#8211; I asked what she saw for future children, and when they would come. Her answer is that she sees a daughter being born in 2009 and a son born in late 2010\/early 2011. And it was disappointing&#8230; because I was really hoping to find something &#8211; even if it was artificial &#8211; to give me some extra strength through the next few months. If I know it&#8217;s going to happen soon it makes it easier to get through. But 2009? That means we won&#8217;t conceive until 2008. Over a year away. And that does not make me feel better at all. (I am, however, very pleased to hear the first will be a girl, the second a boy. That&#8217;s just what we want.)<\/p>\n<p>So I know it&#8217;s completley silly, considering I don&#8217;t really buy into psychics, but it&#8217;s still been weighing on my mind today.<\/p>\n<p>Plus I realize that I really really need to stay out of any type of debate forum. Whether it&#8217;s just for curiousity&#8217;s sake or not, I get way too riled up. I am simply far too opinionated to be able to read and not react emotionally. At least I&#8217;m managing to keep my posts nice and calm and very logical (thank god for some past experience in debating). I just posted what I think was a pretty thought-provoking post about abortion. And it&#8217;s an interesting topic, because while I do still have a gut-reaction to the topic I also can see and understand both sides. My goal is not to get people to change their minds&#8230; but to question why they believe what they do and to admit that it&#8217;s a grey area. I don&#8217;t like the polarizing that goes on. It&#8217;s too easy to forget that is a lot more to it than yes or no.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, in other news&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I felt kind of sick by the time Den came to bed so I opted out of any kind of baby-making. I figured CD9 is a little early to worry about timing. But tonight I couldn&#8217;t let the opportunity slip away again. My OPK was very negative, though, and we know I won&#8217;t ovulate by CD12 (the day I would normally go in for my U\/S), so it&#8217;s still too early to be concerned.<\/p>\n<p>My RE appointment is next thursday. I&#8217;m looking forward to it. I think it will be a relief to get my protocol and decide when we&#8217;ll be starting IVF. I think I&#8217;m ready for that step &#8211; or at least will be if my injects cycle fails. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m feeling very frustrated today.
