Trying Again

Well it's official now and I have the doctor's appointment to prove it. We are going to try for another baby. I'm excited and scared and hopeful and scared some more and excited and petrified and hopeful. Oh, and I'm scared too.

I'm scared that I may not be able to get pregnant again, and I'm scared about being pregnant and all that goes along with it.

I am hopeful that I will be able to get pregnant again, and I'm hopeful about being pregnant and all that goes along with it.

Both at the same time.

We have booked with a new doctor at a new fertility clinic this time. She was recommended by my amazing Consultant (OB for you Americans) who said that this is the same doctor she's currently sending her daughter to.You can't get a better recommendation than that as far as I'm concerned.

So the date is set for the 18th of February and I have a bunch of forms to fill out between now and then. Ugh, I had forgotten about all the admin and paperwork that goes with infertility treatments.

On the first appointment they will be doing a scan of my uterus and collecting a sample from my husband. I have always hated that my part in all of this consists of being poked and prodded and his part consists of being sent into a room with a bunch of girly magazines. Life really isn't fair is it?? : )

We have a bunch of questions to ask at the appointment about our options. I am hoping for good news in regards to my egg count as well.

So we will see. Hopefully we will get good news.

    Congratulations on this next step! Having hope is a powerful and amazing feeling supporting you, equally as wonderful in getting such a stellar recommendation. The appointment will be here before you know it. Men really do have it easy in such conditions don't they!

    Thinking of you as you take this most exciting and scary step. I think we hold a lot when approaching/thinking about pregnancy after a loss... like you said, all the fear, hope, anxiety, joy - so much! So full.

    Exciting and terrifying at the same time is definitely who we felt as well when we began treatments after our loss. It's especially difficult when you're coping with infertility in addition to loss. Hoping the new doctor is amazing and is able to offer some reassurance.

    Wow, this is a big step, good for you! I hope that all of the news is good new. I think a mix of feelings at this point is oh so normal. Even as we move forward towards adoption I have mxed feeling even though I know we're doing the right thing. So, I wish for you to have peace and lots and lots of good news.
