Let Round 2 Begin

After an almost three month break, I will be embarking on round 2 of banking embryos soon. I’m cycle day 11 and with the start of my next cycle we will be starting again.

We ended up with a better result than I ever dared hoped for last time.

I wish I was more excited this time. But it’s still hard. I am so cautious about getting my hopes up. I’ve been hurt so many times in the process. I guard my heart very closely these days.

I’m sure the stress of all the big transitions in our life the past three months aren’t helping matters. My husband finished his training and started a new job. We moved into a new house two states away from our last place. I’m hanging out unemployed for the time being, but that’s purely by choice while we wrap up these final two banking cycles. Besides, I have enough to keep me busy with moving into a new home.

I had really hoped my husband could join me on this cycle. Unfortunately it looks like he will be working the week I will likely be out there. I guess I should look on the positive side that it will save on airfare to not have him come.

A few positives to come out of the transition are that surprisingly we have some infertility coverage through our insurance. We are incredibly blessed and thankful as we know just how rare that is! Locally there is not an IVF clinic, but the women’s center at our new hospital does cycle monitoring appointments. And now that we have insurance coverage I can do more monitoring locally and that will translate to less time in California! Double win! Not that I mind hanging out at the beach with beautiful weather, but it just isn’t as much fun when you’re all alone.

Here’s to round two!
