So we got our blood tests the other day. Eight vials of blood they took from each of us. It is a little annoying that my partner had to get her blood taken (and our doctor himself said he could not think of a reasons for this) but since it is our first step, it is kind of nice that we both had to do it.
A few friends who I was on my first mat leave with are pregnant, and I'm starting to feel the pressure of wanting this to happen quickly. I am expecting my period around Dec 1, and with my cycle being a bit short it means that the insemination would probably be around Dec 11, which means that we will find out whether or not I'm pregnant the week of Christmas. I would be due for my period on Christmas Day, so I guess the consolation will be that if I'm not pregnant, at least there will be no shortage of food and drink (and chocolate!) to get my through!
I am trying to reduce my caffeine back down the way I did the first time, and once my cycle really starts I'm sure that I'll be much more motivated to detox - but honestly, right now I'm still really enjoying having by body back after a years of trying with my first, then being pregnant and nursing for over a year. I also wanted to lose 10 pounds before we started again but there you have it...It's actually not my fault at all - I blame Starbucks and their crack-laced peppermint mochas. (for the weight and the caffeine addiction!)
