I decided last week that I needed to post a
"Non update, update" because there was
nothing new to report but I just wanted to let
everyone know that I was still kicking around, just not in the
infertility world. Sometimes you just need a break.
I NEEDED a break. With as much love
and support that the infertility world offers, it also
can be really overwhelming to see people moving forward
with their plans while we sat back and
literally had to relinquish all control.
My OB/GYN sent in the referral to the RFP at
My OB/GYN sent in the referral to the RFP at
the end of January and I knew that we would
have at least a 3 month wait before we got an appointment.
The relief of taking a break quickly vanished into anxiety
about not knowing what would happen next.
Patience is not my strong suit and the
not knowing ANYTHING was awful.
On Tuesday May 3rd @ 11am I got the
call we've been waiting for. We have some
paperwork, a repeat SA, and 7 weeks to wait,
BUT we finally have an appointment.
When I first got off the phone, I was feeling
really anxious. My heart was racing, I had a bit
of a cold sweat, but I quickly realized that it
wasn't anxiety, it was excitement. The relief of actually
having a date is indescribable. 5 months to the day that our
referral was sent in, we will meet
our doctors and get some answers.
Everyone needs a little break every now and then. And I completely understand what you mean about watching everyone else move forward with plans while we sit around and wait. It's extremely hard for me. We were going to do IVF this summer, but we just can't right now. Wishing you the best! :)
ReplyDeleteI truly believe that everything happens for a reason. I hope that this fall brings you everything you deserve and more!
