Summer - i will be honest and say i didn't get nervous or excited about the appointment right up until i arrived - in fact, i really just took at as another step and i didn't feel emotional in any way - kinda like a visit to the accountant!! i think the biggest thing i felt was guilt that i wasn't feeling anything else - and the thought of "if i'm not feeling anything, does that mean i'm not ready/don't really want this?" - i know that's not what it was, just my way of dealing with it - second appointment was worse - had to get all of the pre-screening test results and pick up meds/get taught how to do the injections/broach the subject that me and metformin just didn't agree... that was the appointment where they decided to go with IUI.

my last appointment, which i thought i'd be really nervous about, wasn't a drama - i'd had my cycle cancelled the week before, and needed to find out what was going to happen next - and yet i felt really calm about it - weird! i think a lot of it just comes down to us learning how to cope emotionally - and one thing this TTC journey has taught me is how to try and deal with my emotions...

good luck with your appointment this week - here's hoping the next couple of days at work are busy enough to keep you distracted (and if not, go home and indulge in your TV addiction on that nice new telly!!)
