Things to Amuse Yourself While Your Bladder Is Completely Full

1. Put on the surgical cap and model different styles for your partner-- try to find the most flattering way: ears in? ears out? half and half?

2. Impress nurses by injecting yourself with painful Lovenox shot.

3. When nurse comes to get you for transfer, and puts the blanket over your shoulders, do a little twirl and announce, "It's IVF haute couture." No one laughs but your partner. You think you are hilarious.

4. Dance up and down with the "finger" dance when you hear the people in the next pod say they are trying for the SIXTH. (It doesn't seem fair, does it?) Try and remember your theory of wanting to understand people for wherever they are. It doesn't work. Do the finger dance again.

5. Laugh with your partner about the "IVF secret of the day." When you tell her the secret, she asks if there are any more secrets than those two.

6. Decide there is nothing else to do since all this laughing and movement is making the pee desire worse-- Sit tight.

We transferred three-- Dr. BBB said they were gorgeous. I am feeling really good.

IVF secret of the day: Once I examined a piece of tiny piece of toilet paper in the bowl and wondered if it was embryo that came out. Don't laugh too hard at this. This was a hard secret to tell.

Now go and kiss Pamplemousse for me and wish her luck. She's up next. Tomorrow!!
