All That Glitters at IVF Day 6

Day Six and all is well. Today the doctor was really excited to tell me everything looks "text book perfect". I have been teetering on cloud nine all day. I am so relieved that the numbers from all the lab work and scans look good this time around, but still don't want to get our hopes up. The blood work and scan went so well that they cancled my appointment for tomorrow and said "see you on Sunday." Music to my ears.

On a funny note: Now, this I didn't even admit to my husband, although it will most likely come out by the end of the day. I cannot keep a secret when I think it might cause a laugh. Anyway, the doc does the whole trans-vaginal scan with the porno prop and it is really hurting. The other days it didn't hurt, but now that my follicles are getting bigger things are sore. So once it is all over I reach over for the baby wipes (NOT THE LYSOL WIPES) to clean "the area" because all that gel they use is leaking everywhere. (oh, so gross) Anyway Joe always just looks at the floor or those tacky ceiling tiles they put in GYN rooms that have flowers and a well on them - he just tries to avoid the yuckier parts - so that is how he missed this part.

So I wipe, and then have to grab another baby wipe so I put the one I just used right on the edge of the bed thingy and notice it has some reflective qualities, hmmmm I think, and then it hits me. "Oh noooooooooooooo - I took a bath the night before and used bath and body works shimmering lotion - all over." I looked at the second wipe and sure enough it was covered in golden glitter! So then I just sort of smirk and shimmy on my clothes and clean up the table. Some how I accidentaly smeared the table and it was shinning with glitter too. I grabbed the baby wipes trying to clean it up but it wouldn't come off. The paper lining had moved to the side and everything was just reflecting the light. I gave up, threw the sheet they gave me to cover up over it, tossed the wipes in the trash and ask S to unlock the door.
