The Plan (Sort Of)

I love this time of year. I love when it's starting to get chilly at night and sometimes I can throw on my PSU hoodie. :)

Mr SC and I talked about a plan. Well, I told him how I was feeling and he said, "sounds good". Perhaps he's also forgetting that I said I wanted us to go to therapy before we start trying again but anyway...

We're looking at January to start with the itralipid infusions. For one, it's after the holidays and the anniversary of our first (and second) losses. The first EDD is the worst for me, even though it was the shortest pregnancy. Also, it will be easier financially. We'll be able to have more in our savings account and, well, I'm going to be stressed out enough that I don't want any hint of any potential small financial concern when I'm going to have to shell out so much money each month.

Plus, well, my body is behaving oddly. I spot for several days before my period, AF stays for eight days now and I also spot midcycle for no reason. My new RE told me it could be up to six cycles for a body to return to normal after a m/c but I'm not waiting that long to push for tests. Back in July I had a saline u/s and it didn't show anything, so I'm not thinking it's a cyst. How knows, though.

  1. Kelly,

    So happy that you have a plan! I will be thinking of you and praying for you as January approaches. And I am praying that your cycle returns to normal very soon, as I know the spotting can be exhausting.

    Have a good weekend

  6. What is itralipid infusions? I consulted with Dr. Google, but I'm still a little confused.

    They are shots to help with the Natural Killers cells? And you know you have them b/c of immunology bloodwork?

  7. Yay for a plan =). January sounds like a good time to start, I like new years. I'll be thinking good thoughts for you and wishing with everything in me that it all works out.

  10. Plans rock - for some people. For me plans never come off LOL. If I plan something you can bet ya bottom dollar that it won't come off, if I DON'T plan it though, it will always work out LOL

    I PRAY that you're the former and not the latter like me! :-P

    Either way it sounds like a fabulous plan!

  11. I hope that everything goes well with your plan, AND that AF will start to cooperate with you. I hate the winch for not doing what she should! Hope you have a great weekend and I too love hoodie weather!!

  12. That sounds like a good plan! Sorry your body is doing some odd things...mine has been, too, and it's disconcerting! I hope things straighten out and that you're able to stick to your plan. Hopefully, you can make the best of the down time and be ready for January!

  13. I'm glad you have a plan, and I think waiting until January to do the intralipids makes a lot of sense. I'm sorry your body is not behaving, though:( My body behaved very, very strangely after my second loss. It took MONTHS to get back to normal.

    I agree 100% with not waiting 6 months to push for tests - but I'm hoping it resolves soon, and before you even need to push.

  14. I'm so happy you have a plan in place that you're both comfortable with. January is not that far away and it will be a fresh start to a new year.

    I'm sorry your body is behaving so oddly. I agree that waiting 6 months for testing is too long. Hopefully things will resolve themselves soon. (((hugs)))

  15. Plans are good to have- hope you get things figured out with your body soon. I hate it when mine acts up... consistency would be nice. I wouldn't wait 6 months for the tests either.

  16. Everything always feels better once a plan is in place. My body took a long time to get back to normal (whatever that is) after my 2nd m/c. I sometimes wonder if it's natures way of making us slow down and take time out of the ttc game and to give us a chance to get some more strength for the next round. I hope it all settles down for you soon. x

  18. I'm really glad you have a plan. It's not going to make everything better, but having a plan helps to look at the future in a more confident way. It sounds like a great plan, one that you are both comfortable with for now.
