never easy

Sometimes I am convinced that God just doesn't want me to be pregnant.  My lovely southern city is blanketed in around 3 inches of snow, which is a big deal for us.  Even worse, the neighboring city where my retrieval will be has around 6 inches.  The clinic called this morning to make sure that we were coming down today rather than trying to make it tomorrow.  For the first time since the IVF coordinator can remember, they have cancelled all procedures/appointments for today and tomorrow other than my egg retrieval and one other retrieval tomorrow (apparently we were the only time sensitive procedures planned for these two days).  There are so many people that need to be there at the right time to make this happen...I am so nervous that it's not going to work.

    Ugh, this is awful. I live in the Midwest so we are constantly changing our plans because of snow. Even though everyone here is used to driving in it, it's still extremely stressful to go 35 on the interstate, and we get a lot of ice storms. I am so sorry this stupid hurdle has cropped up at a time when everything needs to go smoothly.

    Just drive very slowly, keep your gas tank full, take deep breaths, and bring snacks in case all the restaurants are closed when you get there. I'll be pulling for you for clear roads and lots of eggs to retrieve!

    That sounds really frustrating. I hope it all goes well, and that everything is smooth in spite of the weather. Stay warm if you have to walk there and back!
