Sooo this morning was very interesting... I went to the other office where my boss actually works to do my usual run of Tuesdays and Thursdays. She has a grandbaby girl and has pics of her everywhere. She had told me that her son and wife were expecting again and due sometime in November. I mentioned it and told her it was getting close. She was telling me how she has her plane ticket and is ready to go on the 4th of November. So then she mentioned her other son and daughter in law and how they are trying to have a baby. She had mentioned it before but didn't really get into it much. I asked her how long they had been ttc and she said about a year. Then out of the blue she asks, "So when are you having a baby?" I think I turned as red as a tomatoe and just shrugged my shoulders and said, "I don't know". Then it happened. I figured with the IVF coming up this was the perfect time to fill her in on the days I will be MIA. Sooo I told her that we had been trying but we both had issues. She thought I meant marriage issues and I said "No, we are reproductively challenged". I told her we had been not preventing not avoiding right after we got married. Right when we were getting into the juicy details another employee walked in and she had to go and help him with something. Sooo I sat there and thought to myself... I figured it was good to be honest and to just come out and say it. I was SO nervous.
Well she came back in and I asked if I could talk to her and shut the door. She said "sure". So I told her we had been ttc for over 3 years. I told her we had went to the doctor to get tested and it seems we both had problems. I said that we were limited to testing and treatment because of financial reasons but that now Aaron had awesome insurance in this. I told her that we are moving forward and that our doc recommended IVF. I said it was the best option for us and that we are planning to get into it asap. I told her that it wouldn't affect my work but I would be late or be out a couple of hours here and there for bloodwork and ultrasounds. I told her I probably would need maybe a total of 2 whole days (not consecutively) but maybe for ER and ET. I told her it would be around the time I get my new sick and vacation leave (I only have several hours that I can use now but my time comes in on November 15) so I will have the time.
It shocked me and am so happy to report that she was SO supportive!!!! :) She told me to do what I had to do and that she had a feeling about me... She said I was always going to the doctor and that it went through her mind. I was embarrased about that because I thought I hid it pretty well! She said for me not to worry about her telling anybody. That it isn't anybody's business. I told her that I felt very strong about this because this was something very personal, sacred and even embarrassing. She told me not to be embarrased, that it happens to people, even good people. She said you just have to deal with it. She also said that she is totally for a woman being a mother. That it is a gift. I told her that I had been worried about it because I didn't know whether to tell her or not and even thought of telling our director. But she said, "Don't worry about it. That is just something trivial. You have enought to worry about and this is something small." She said that she wouldn't even tell our director unless he came to her directly asking about me. She also said that if her son and d-i-l still had problems in November that they were going in to get tested. She said if they do, she would get my doctor's information since I mentioned how great he was!
I feel like a 1000 pounds have been lifted off of my shoulders. I am so happy and relieved. God is really on my side and is helping me, even with the small things. I am blessed to have a boss that totally understood where I was coming from.....

So that is my happy news. I have a BIG headache right now so I am a bit out of it. I am now just praying that I get my period soon. I am on day 3 of provera so still have 7 more pills to take. Then the wait is on for AF. Hopefully she comes right after my last pill. I am trying to calculate the days and I am falling perfectly in before they close the RE's clinic down in December. They close it down after the 2nd week because of OSHHA regulations... The counselor said I should fit in perfectly but that is as long as my period cooperates. If not, then I would probably have to wait until next year... That is NOT what I want. Hopefully my body works the way it should right now.....

Thats it for now!
