It’s been a while, I apologise – I haven’t gotten around to blogs in quite a few days, I’ll try to remedy that later today.

Yesterday while I was at work doing boring repetitive tasks my mind was wandering. And I thought to myself, it’s been over 10 days since I got my period hasn’t it? and I realized if we wanted to have a chance this month – our last “natural” month before IVF – that we should, you know, have sex. See what taking the pressure off does? No sex. None. However we agreed to wait until after my doctor’s appointment tomorrow to make sure we can. The doctor did say no tampons and no sex – but she didn’t specify for how long. And until now I really haven’t felt up to any kind of sporking anyways, with my sore stomach and all. It’s just getting back to “normal”.

It’s not like I expect our one break cycle before IVF to be a magic one or anything. But they did remove what endo I had, so maybe miracles could happen. Maybe. (Yeah you can guess how much I believe that!)

In any case, I’m getting SO excited about starting our IVF cycle. I just can’t wait. I’m already nearly 2 weeks into my cycle, which means only another 2 weeks to wait to start BCP! Holy! I can’t believe it’s almost April already. That’s just nuts.

There are some things coming up in April and May – seminars and big get-togethers – and every time I hear about something I check my IVF calendar and wonder if I’ll be able to go. Of course the IVF takes precidence! But it would be disappointing if a doctor’s appointment fell on the same day as one of these things. I don’t get out much, I have very little human social interaction, so getting to go somewhere is a real treat for me. Well also some of the conferences are business-oriented… either for my own home-run business or for my out-of-the-home job. There are a lot of lectures and conferences that go on regarding animal rescue and I would love to attend and hopefully become a more integral part of the sanctuary I work at and the rescue I volunteer for. I don’t really feel I have a “career” – but I have causes and hobbies. ;) And I do not intend to entirely back out once I have a kiddo.
