So I talked to my OB/GYN yesterday. He actually called me which was nice. I faxed over my chart and of course he said it looks perfect. Yeah, perfect except for the big fat negative sign at the end of it. He’s still convinced it is going to happen any cycle now. I’m not so sure but I will give it a go.
Thankfully the Clomid hasn’t been affecting me much so far. Yay! Also, M and I are still on a high which is nice. Ever since he got back from his business trip things have been so wonderful. I think it helps to have a reminder every now and then how much you miss each other when you’re apart. So I’m definitely enjoying that! Hopefully it lasts through my fertile week!
So M and I have been talking more about fostering (with the possibility of adopting) and he has been so open with it. I really expected him to be more resistant but he really wasn’t. He had a few questions about the logistics but he seemed really satisfied with all my answers! This is not something we would do until January of 2009 though. We would start the process of getting licensed now, but since I’m still going to be working and taking classes through the end of this year, we wouldn’t accept any placements until I was done with those classes. Luckily my mom does daycare so I know she would love to help me out with watching the child while I worked.
Anyway, back to TTC, we are meeting with a priest tonight. He is originally from Africa somewhere but he has been around here for awhile. He has a really amazing heart and I hope the talk goes well.
I’m a bit nervous though. I spoke with him at our Crisis Pregnancy Center banquet last weekend. He is very passionate about his work. My mother-in-law had filled him in on our situation (with my permission) and so he pulled me aside and told me he would love to meet with me and M. I didn’t quite understand every word he said (he has a strong accent) but I got the sense that in addition to talking he was going to pray over me and something about getting rid of evil. I’m not exactly sure how I feel about this. I mean, heck, at this point, it can’t hurt. But it seems a bit exorcisty to me. I guess I will just try and remain open. And for all I know, I completely misunderstood him and we will just talk. I will let you all know how it goes!
That’s all for now!

This is out of the blue, but a question for you. Have you tried using pre-seed during your clomid cycles? Clomid dried up my CM big time, and I know that is a common s/e. Just a thought…
Hang in there!

Good luck with your meeting…I agree having someone pray over me to get out evil would freak me out a bit. But then again when I was in high school we had this priest from africa teach our one class and he was a bit eccentric. Maybe their training is just a little different than what we’re used to. Maybe that doesn’t really cross over to how we picture things when he says something? That’s great you and hubby had a nice day today…I hope many more to come!

It’s wonderful news that your husband is open to fostering. What a great thing to do, too. Hope your meeting with the Priest goes well. Keep us updated.

It sounds like things are going in a good direction for you! If your doctor is pleased with your cycle (in spite of the BFN), I have high hopes that things will go well for you in the near future! And although it may seem odd to have someone pray over you to rid you of evil, prayers are never a bad thing to be on the receiving end of! Enjoy your weekend!
