Great Timing

I don’t think my clinic bothered looking at the dates when they scheduled IVF for this month. I will admit, I didn’t think much of it either until a couple weeks ago when I ran into a Mother’s day display in a store.

If this cycle works the way it's supposed to, I will be two weeks pregnant on Mother’s day. Only, I won’t know for sure until a couple weeks later.

Great timing people.

I explained the whole timing thing to my Husband and his reply was “that is so cruel, how could they not figure that one out?!”

Something has changed with me the last couple of days. I’m actually getting excited for this cycle. I feel very positive things may work out this time. I have my baseline appointment tomorrow morning and then stims would start tomorrow night.

My goal is for three good embryos. My antral follicle counts are borderline low and with my elevated FSH I’m not going to delude myself into thinking I will get a large number of eggs. My clinic normally doesn’t tell you the antral follicle count. I’m tempted to ask them this time, but wonder if it may be better for my sanity to just not know.

And if we end up with two follicles like last time, I’m going to push them for retrieval anyway. I’m not letting another cycle go to waste. We have insurance coverage now and we’ll lose it when we move so it’s this cycle or bust. We’d be benched for at least two years.

So I am going to be ridiculously positive and happy for the next several weeks whether I like it or not. No more doubts or feelings of doom. It’s all rainbows and butterflies from here on out!
