Support Group

Today I decided that I would attend the monthly support group meeting at my clinic. I wavered between going and not going 1)because I am not a very social person and prefer smaller groups and 2) because I didnt want to be in a place were everyone was sad and crying and stuff like that (this is my first ever support group). I ended up deciding to go since L was taking his mom out to dinner as a belated v-day thing. I actually really liked it. I would really call it more of a 'workshop' type deal. They have a guest speaker each time. This time was the clinics embryologist and her talk was really cool. She talked about a day in the life of an embryologist and other stuff. There werent many people there, only about 6 (1 couple), so it was a small group. As the embryologist was talking, some of the people would share tidbit about their journey and stuff. It was so weird because she was saying that she kinda knows from experience and looking at an embryo if it has a pretty good chance of a positive pregnancy and then one of ladies said 'well do you remember about 1pm yesterday, how did that one look, because thats when I had my transfer'. The speaker thought for a little bit and said 'yeah I remember'. All she really said was 'well it thawed and made it to transfer so I would think positive'.

As much as I liked this embryologist I told her I hoped I didnt see her after today and she told me the same. lol

On my way home, I was talking to L on the phone and he said 'well maybe I'll go with you next month' and then said 'but hopefully we wont even be there any more'. Amen to that!
