Back on the TTC bandwagon

Well, I think I'm officially in a 2WW. My chart is all messed up because I haven't been consistently temping/POAS but my temp seems to be rising a bit and is in the same range it was the only other time I ovulated. If I did actually O we managed to hit the fertile window once so... there's that. But honestly, I have no hope that this will lead to some miracle BFP so yesterday I decided to call the RE's office to start putting the wheels in motion for our FET.  It looks like I've made up my mind that we are now officially back on the TTC bandwagon. Here are my next steps:
  • Contact hospital to have all notes from D&E faxed to RE
  • Office visit with RE on July 3rd
  • Day 3 baseline B/W
  • Hysteroscopy
  • BCPs until all insurance paperwork goes through
  • Then stop BCPs, get AF, start estrogen
  • Day 4 B/W to ensure I'm on the correct dosage
  • Day 14 lining check and schedule the transfer

I'm actually glad I called now and did not wait longer since at this point the FET still won't be until August. I think I'll have plenty of time between now and then to wrap my head around everything.

Making the call was a little tough. I found myself laying on the couch yesterday feeling miserable about the sad dark expanse of nothingness that is stretched out before me and wishing there was something I could do about it. Then I realized; there IS something I can do! So I got up, marched over to the phone and made the call before thinking twice.  I ended up talking with my favorite nurse and of course she was so sweet and so sad for us when I told her what happened so I got a little emotional.  It's not going to be fun to have to have those conversations with the nurses and my RE but I guess it has to happen eventually.

I feel...pretty good. I feel some sadness that we're moving on but it's also nice to have a plan again and something to look forward to.

  1. ((Hugs)) Chickin. You are so much stronger than you give yourself credit for. I can't imagine how scary this must be for you. But remember, moving forward does not mean that you're forgetting about Petey, you are carrying him/her forward with you. I know that Petey loves you and would want you to be happy and to keep going on with your life. Sending you lots of love and hugs <3
