Confessions of a POASaholic

Just thought I’d post some updates about what’s been going on in Chez Fletcher.

-I had my insulin retested last week (yucky orange drink test) and they are now increasing my metformin. It went down from 83 (in April) to 58.4, so it’s at least improving. She said that based on when we tested it, we’d really like it to be less than 30. So they increased my dose from 1000 mg to 1500mg (3 pills now.)

-I’ve also switched from the Target prenatal to a prescription one – I guess it’s just a little better.

- We are doing our infectious disease testing sometime in the next 2 weeks.

-We have our pictures scheduled! I think I mentioned this before, but we wanted to do something that is just for us. So we’re taking them on October 11th. This gives me 19 days to lose some more weight! (Not that I’ll lose enough in 19 days to really make a difference, but if I see the scale going down, I’ll feel better.)

-On the weight loss, I’ve lost a total of 14 lbs – since May, but still exciting. I’d really like to lose 5.6 more lbs before starting IVF (exactly one month from today!)

-My high school reunion was this weekend and I’d like to think that I handled it ok. Friday night was an event at the highschool football game and it seemed (to me anyways) that everyone was either pregnant or had little kids with them. It reminds me of the way I feel when I go to weddings and see the dad walk the daughter down the aisle. I would never wish that the bride didn’t have her dad to walk with her, but I’m upset/envious that I didn’t get to. Still, I managed to get through the weekend without crying.

-We’re trying to decide where to plan a mini vacation for in December. It has to be somewhere that I can either plan last minute or somewhere that we can reserve but cancel last minute. Basically if we find out that I’m not pregnant, I want to get the hell out of dodge. And quickly. Any suggestions?

-I’m still trying to find a good acupuncture place. The one in town that I know of is so expensive so I’d really like to find someplace a little cheaper.

I think that’s it for now!
