Got a call from my nurse today to let me know that all 13 of the embryos got biopsied today, which is good news, because it means all 13 grew enough to be biopsiable (is that a word?). The cells from each one will be overnighted to the lab, and we should have results from the testing either tomorrow evening or Saturday morning. Fingers crossed that all of the 13 make it to day 5, and that we have a good number of unaffected ones.
The PIO (progesterone in oil) shots continue to be fun. I'm pretty much waking up at all hours of the night because the pain is so bad. I'm hoping that my body is going to get used to this soon, and the soreness will subside.
I was talking to my mom on the phone last night, and all was going well until she started telling me that if/when I get pregnant, I shouldn't let Bandit sleep in our room anymore. She's convinced that I'm going to inhale dog hair that's going to be harmful to the pregnancy. I told her, it's fine, there's nothing to worry about, but she insisted. I told her, "you're a scientist, you should know better," but she's also a Chinese Mom, and that side always inevitably wins out and there's no reasoning with it. We spent like ten minutes talking about just this one thing, and finally, FINALLY, she agreed to stop if I would just promise to ask the doctor about it.
Is this going to be me someday? Egads.
We watched the "AI" finale yesterday, and since there was no "Lost," we actually watched almost the whole thing. I did find some of it entertaining - Allison and Cyndi Lauper doing "Time After Time" was made of win, Steve Martin randomly showed up to play banjo for a song he wrote, and Bikini Girl came back (new and improved, natch) and had a showdown with Kara, and Bikini Girl showed that she's still a humorless bitch.
I wasn't too shocked by the results - gotta figure that all those who were voting for Gokey switched their votes to Kris (cause you know, Adam is "the gay"). I've found Kris to be pretty good at times, but damn did that coronation song suck. I dunno, I think I'm over this show.
You shouldn't clean cat litter when you're pregnant, but that's the only pet no-no that I know of. I'm sure your doctor can clear things up. :-)
My mom and aunts always freaked out at the pictures of Steven and Nutmeg together, by the way.
Yeah, toxoplasmosis. Marc does the litter anyways, although our cats are both indoor cats, so the risk is lower.
I didn't even MENTION the cats to my mom - I'm just glad it hasn't occurred to her to freak out about them.
