fertility holiday

Well well well its been some time huh! I wont apologise because my lack of blogging is a good sign for me. You see I have been knee deep in enjoying life with no fertility treatments, something I have called my “fertility holiday”. No tests, no treatments, no appointments……. bliss!

I found my balance, while yes I still think about being belly-less every day that passes I can kind of push it to the side knowing we have a plan in place. I was not on the roller coaster because I have not been anxiously waiting & hoping every month for that BFP. I stopped tracking my cycle, I was not counting down the days. My h-band and I were not being told when and how to “enjoy our marriage”.

I have been the happiest in these last 6 months that I have been in the last 4 years and I strongly feel I can say the same for my husband. Life feels good. which ironically makes for a bloody boring blog!

The “pre-tests” for IVF have started with blood tests and specimen samples along with the paperwork to fill out. One thing we have been grateful for is the fact this is all publicly funded. I am in chat groups with other ladies from around the world who on top of the emotional pressure also have to deal with the financial burden or the joy of liaising with insurance companies.

I am so grateful for this “fertility holiday” before heading into IVF. I am so much stronger and more prepared than I was 6 months ago. Of course we are open to the fact that this is not a sure fire thing, we have a world of possibilities in front of us but we are ready!
