Sometimes God has a different path in store for us. After being diagnosed with POF, I set out on a journey to "repair" my body and get pregnant naturally. Somewhere along the line, although pristine health and self care is my goal, the necessity to "prove" the doctors wrong became less important and we sought the perfect solution to grow our family. We decided on Embryo Donation / Adoption. Read about our journey. Blessings!

Update

Dec. 9, 2015

Not a whole lot to report on the fertility front. My period was super SUPER light, like wear a liner light. It's amazing to me that when I went to my baseline my lining was 2.4mm and I blend heavier than I am now with I had a 10mm lining. I'm trying to wrap my head around that. I was seriously prepared for the heaviest period I've ever experienced. Hm...

We were thinking of a January transfer, but I think we may actually postpone until February Timing wise, I was going to be out of town until Jan. 3, and my coordinator is out of the office on medical leave and rather unresponsive. I think I'd have had to have started my birth control pills by now to work with the time line she anticipated.

But, even more exciting, I was contacted by a producer who'd interviewed me when I was doing publicity eons ago for some films I was in and he asked me to come down to Sundance to talk on a panel. He also said he'd give me a space for free in one of the celebrity suites to chat about oils. I've always wanted to go to Sundance and my hubby and I think it's a great opportunity on all fronts for me. So...that'd put me out of town Jan 21-24 anyway so basically unavailable for a later in January transfer.

With everything going on, we chatted about it and requested that I get my baseline right after that trip putting us in an early February. transfer. I'm waiting for my coordinator to get back to us, but that makes the most sense. I figure a few more weeks is just a few more weeks. I did also ask to chat with the doctor to review if we should change up the protocol and the scratching and embryo glue. I want to get his take on all of it.

Still wrestling with the one versus two scenario. I'm thinking we should just do one again, but then I get that nagging voice telling me to go with two. I'm sure it'll be clear when we need to pull the trigger. It was last time.

I still haven't called my TCM back. I'm wrestling with trying one more local out here versus the hour drive each way to where I was going. Part of me is also just enjoying not dealing with any fertility crap right now. No herbs. No acupuncture. No special diets or supplements. I'm just really kind of relaxing and letting the chips fall where they may. I'm sure I'll feel differently the closer we get, but for now, with everything going on...I just don't have the time. Our house is chaos with workers and adjusters in and out. I think the New Year will just feel sooooo much more settled.

I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays!

God Bless!
