God probably just keeps laughing at me.

And I'm sure God just keeps laughing at me. When Dion & I went to our "education day" we were both under the impression that IVF/ICSI would last the month of July and we would be done. All of the procedures would be the last week of July and then I would just have to get my blood drawn to see if it worked in August.

HA. HA. HA. That is what God did. I finally thought I had a little control on this whole IVF thing, and I had it all planned out that it wouldn't interfere with my first year of teaching. It turns out my procedures (egg retrieval and transfer) won't be until the first week of August. Which is super stressful. I have to get my classroom set up, I have new teacher orientation, and I have to start teaching!

But I'm just going to trust that God has it under control. We can't give up now or even turn back now because we have already invested our time and money at this point. I'm just praying everyone can be understanding with our situation. It is so difficult. Infertility isn't like cancer, or a heart disease, or any other type of illness where people wouldn't think twice about you seeking treatment. People tend to view infertility treatments as "optional", which is sad. It is a disease, there is a medical problem, and yes we want our own kids, so we want to seek out every venue and avenue to try and make it work. But sadly, not everyone understands this.

Anywho, after my mild, maybe not mild, freak out, I think it'll be okay. I can only hope. I'm just praying every little date and time falls exactly where it has to for baby Sanders to be made. And I'm just going to stop making plans, it obviously never matters anyway. ;)
