After about 8 gallons of ginger tea my cycle started which means they can fit in IVF before the clinic shuts down for the holidays.
This is it!
I’m on the birth control pill now until Thursday. I have an endo-biopsy scheduled for tomorrow…apparently this is to beef up the lining? I’m pretty sure they’re just looking for more excuses to poke me. Our egg retrieval is scheduled for November 15. (I guess I need to buy some socks? I’m finally starting to understand everyone else’s posts. What’s the story with pineapple?)
My husband wanted to have a big talk the other night. The “We need to be prepared for this not to work and prepare for the idea of not having children” talk.
I shut it down. I’m not ready for this talk. I’ve been working so hard to be calm and positive. I’m on a fertility cleanse, I’m exercising, I’m going to acupuncture, reflexology, Cranial Sacral therapy, losing weight and going to counselling. All of this, although sparked by the fertility treatment, is contributing to me being a calmer and happier person. I’m not ready to let go of the peace that I have just found.
Here are my worries and “what ifs” and potential road blocks – just to get them out of my system:
– no good eggs
– no good sperm
– no fertilized eggs
– genetic testing proves that embryos are all abnormal
– embryos don’t survive
– I get pregnant and lose another baby
There – it’s out and now I can let go of my worries. I’ll just take it one step at a time (and I’ll take those steps in my new socks).
you can't choose when 
I hoping for the best for you! You need to think positive here 😉
On it! (Ok easier said than done but I’m trying my best!)
Wishing you the best and continued peace!
Pinapple (and especially pinapple core) helps blood circulation which is good for preparing for the transfer. it’s good to eat it before the transfer. It’s better explain e.g. here: http://conceivewithpineapple.blogspot.jp/
What’s with the socks?
wish you all the best!!
I’ll check out the link! As for the socks, I saws bunch of people online posting their “egg retrieval or transfer socks” (usually some sort of novelty egg themed socks) and then I read my instructions and it said that I’ll be wearing a hospital gown but please pack a pair of warm socks! – I guess I’ll go with the theme in the name of tradition and superstition (plus, I might as well look cute in my hospital gown)
aaahhhh I see now. We don’t get to wear socks. I guess that’s why I didn’t understand… You’ll look lovely with the fancy socks! 🙂
Someone bought me socks! They have owls and they’re warm and cozy.
