Time
It has been…
3 years and 2 months since we started trying to have a baby
2 years since we started the IVF process.
1 year and 6 months since I first found out I was pregnant
10 months and 19 days since Devin was born
It will be…
13 days until we start stims
26 days until retrieval
1 month and 9 days until Devin’s birthday and my beta
OK, who do I need to punch in the face for your beta being on Devin’s birthday?
Yeah, that was a fun piece of coincidence. There’s a good chance it will be a couple days earlier… it all depends on how fast things go. Since we’re doing a different protocol this time… well, I really don’t know. (And I usually know beforehand, anyways.) So hopefully it won’t be a big royal fuckup?
Wow, Natalie. That really puts it in perspective, how time goes by, how many days and years get taken by our losses and attempts to get back up.
I really admire you Nat for hard work, determination and patience. I’m along for the ride with you and can only hope with all of my heart this cycle brings you the good news you deserve. Enough of the waiting for you.
Nat, I’ve been thinking a lot about time lately too. I’m working on a post about how time just keeps on marching along. It takes so much effort to keep moving with it. I hope this cycle brings you happier milestones to look forward and back upon.
It just sucks- all this time spent when it’s so easy for some. I am sorry. I am crossing my fingers that this next cycle is the one!
*hugs*
My sister in-law just lost her baby on Friday. I have no idea what to say to her, or how to help her, even after reading your blog for so long. I’m so afraid of saying something wrong. All I keep saying is “I’m here for you”, but what real good does that do, when all you want is your child?

I’m so sorry Nat, for all the crap you have to go through. I hope this next cycle brings happiness.
You actually say “bugger”. I love that! I do too – a kiwi, you know. Sending positive karma for your next cycle. moi
I agree with Sallys comment, Enough of the waiting. I am hoping for you and hoping there is a special reason why your beta is on Devins b-day.
