About Me

Having been raised by a single mother, it's been my dream to have a "normal" family with a father, a mother, and children since I was a kid. I got married to a wonderful husband Mike eight years ago. I love my job - I am an oncology nurse taking care of people undergoing bone marrow transplant. Mike got his Master's in Clinical Social Work last year. He recently started his career as Substance Abuse Specialist. We thought it was time to expand our family. One year later, I was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve at age of 32 with an elevated FSH level. My doctor thinks I need "aggressive" interventions right away. I am going to have my first IVF in September 2010.

A quiet week

Nothing special is happening this week. I am back to my normal work schedule. No doctors appointment this week either. I'm still having a hard time thinking that I am actually pregnant. There were some opportunities today to declare myself as pregnant (to get special flu shot & to get a special radiation monitor badge) and it felt good. I still worry about possible miscarriage. I decided not to go to those pregnancy websites because I don't want to read about other people's stories of losing babies. It makes me too anxious. The only thing I can do at this time is to stay positive and take care of myself. I've been eating very well and sleeping reasonably well too. I think I should re-start some meditation/guided imagery exercises to cope with anxiety. My 1st ultrasound is scheduled for next Tuesday. I'll know how my baby(ies) is/are doing then.
