Is this really happening?

So I've been on my meds for 11 days now. Yesterday was my last birth control pill. I continue with the baby aspirin, vitamins and luron shots for at least another 8 days. This may seem like a lot to you guys. BUT I don't feel like we're doing anything. I haven't stepped foot into the doctor's office except to sign consents for the procedure. I don't know if I'm in denial or what but it just doesn't seem like this is all happening. Life seems way too normal right now.

Now lets talk side affects. Really I don't have any except for this annoying twitching eye. Seriously, of all the things that I anticipated happening a small annoyance of a twitching eye was not one of them. I do seem a bit more tired and slightly less tolerant of (there's just no way to say this nicely) morons, but that could just be my normal personality too. You'll have to ask Eric about that one ;)

Now lets talk consents. I don't mind signing consents at all. I mean we're paying thousands of dollars to do this so you'd think we consented but whatever. I think that EVERY one who wants to become a parent should sign a consent. Seriously, there should be some way to put some sort of alarm on a person that goes off before baby making. At that time the prospective parents would have to read a 4 page document about having to care for the baby ect. They should have to choose what happens to the child in case someone dies or a divorce occurs. I bet that would make people think twice about becoming parents.

Yep, when we did our IVF for Madeline we had to decide right then and there what to do with our left over embryo's. We already knew we would freeze them. BUT it didn't stop there. We had to decide what would then happen to them if we got a divorce or someone died. I mean really who wants to think about a divorce or DYING when you're trying so hard to have a baby. There went the last illusion of normal conception. There is definitely nothing romantic about infertility and the legal department of the doctor's office makes sure of that!
