Unsticking Myself January 3, 2010
I’ve been feeling stuck lately. Part of that has to do with the holidays. I love Christmastime, but having multiple sets of guests coming through our house left me a bit lacking in energy to propel myself in forward motion. Also, the fact that we had decided to go ahead with another IVF cycle yet had not decided when that was going to actually happen left me feeling stuck in IVF limboland.
Well, I am stuck no more. The new year is upon us. It’s time to make myself move forward again. And we’ve made a decision about our cycle, too!
I’m always better with a plan. I love to be able to write in dates on my calendar. I love to be able to count down the days until X.
We’ve decided to start with my next cycle which should arrive towards the end of the month. I’ll start popping birth control pills on cycle day 2 and go from there. I’m doing the exact same protocol as my last fresh cycle, so I’m pretty sure I know which days things should fall on. ER should end up being the last week in February.
Things are coming along with all of the pre-cycle work. I got my lab results back, and everything was normal. FSH was still in the ok range at 6.5. Dan had his bloodwork done last week. The meds that needed to go through mail order have been ordered and should be delivered this week. I’ll go ahead and admit that I’m looking forward to getting them. There’s just something about seeing a big stash of IVF drugs to get you ready for a cycle.
So, I’m feeling good about having the ball in motion. I hate the feeling of not knowing how things are going to turn out, and I’d just assume find out sooner rather than later.

Getting going sounds good! No point in sitting around and wondering when you could be doing.
By the way, I like those bras… I think I might be too fat for them though (band size wise) but maybe after the baby comes and I see what’s going on I’ll give them another look. Gracias.
Yay! I am glad you guys have figured out a date. Like you, I don’t like being in limbo. I like having a plan – scheduling things out. :) We still have to wait a bit until we can figure out when we can do it, but hopefully in a few months. We’ll see.
I wish you good luck with the next cycle and am happy you guys have a plan. :)
I’m glad there is a plan and that things will start soon. Fingers are tightly crossed that everything goes smoothly!!
wishing you every bit of luck possible. Just reading about your upcoming cycle has me fidgetting I miss the “knowing” of dates. will be hanging around reading where you’re at.
Hey girl. I pop in and read this every now and then. Excited for you about doing another IVF cycle. A girlfriend of mine using the same clinic and who had a baby same time as my last, did IVF in Nov/Dec and is preggo for #2 at age 41. I’ll be think and keeping everything crossed for you. Hope all goes smooth and +++++++. Mary from LA
