I wanted to share with you what's been going on with me, and, well, with us also.
First, even though I feel numb, we are looking at starting to try again in December. That will mean monthly infusions (out of pocket) until I get pregnant 7-10 days before I O, which would put us at the end of December, if it works.
By "if" it works, well, I've been having problems with my cycle. I mentioned it at She.r back in August and my doc told me it could take up to six cycles for things to get adjusted. I just finished cycle five and nothing has changed. I have a phone consultation with him tomorrow. I'm thinking it's just hormonal, but, until I have testing that covers all aspects of my cycle (and then subsequent testing after treatment), it may push us back to January. That's fine. Whatever.
The one thing that I told Mr SC was that I wanted us both to see a therapist, together, if we started trying again. He said ok. I still can't believe that he agreed, but he did. I've been putting off making the phone call and finally did. My therapist recommended someone and we're going to try to coordinate a time for us to go in the next couple of weeks. She sounds great on the phone and we chatted a bit about why we are going to therapy. When I told her about our miscarriages, I swear I heard her jaw drop. But anyway...
That's where we are. Just an update.
Glad to hear the update and very glad to hear y'all are going to go to a therapist together about all of this. I think it is a great thing. I hope your cycle calms down soon.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you hon and please know that you're in my thoughts.

Here's hoping the therapy works. It should. I mean, that's what we're paying for, right? Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHope your cycles get back to normal. One more hassle, ugh.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Mr SC agreed to go to therapist with you. I think that can only help.
What a great step, I can only imagine therapy being helpful. I hope your cycles get back on track, soon. Have you ever done any acupuncture?
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from you, Kelly. It sounds like you have a plan in place that you can live with. I like that you and SC will have a place to talk about all of this at your therapy appointments. Great step.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you and hear the plan. It's great that you and mr. sc are going to a therapist together soon, I think that will be so helpful for you both as you get started again.
ReplyDeleteHope the doc can shed some light on what's going on with your cycles and they get on track soon.
Thanks for the update. I'm so very happy for you that your hubby and you are going to therapy. This can only help you two!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm on the same boat as everyone else, therapy only can help, regardless of the outcome of anything else. I really want this to work for you, and at the same time, I know how scary that BFP can be. But I want you to have a baby so, so much.You & Mr. SC deserve it so much. Do you think you'll be okay w/trying if you are still feeling numb? Will you try regardless, or will you wait and see if the therapy helps the numb feeling? I'm just glad to see there is a plan in place, and I have a little bit of excitement sparking in me for you guys. Love ya!!
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you'll be seeing a counselor - IF can be so hard on a marriage. I know it helped us tremendously.
And when you're ready to tiptoe back in, we'll all be here to support you.
Hugs.
What issues are you having with your cycles? I hope counseling helps!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update! I think these are all good and promising things and I'm really hoping for you guys. I hope they figure out what's going on with your cycle and everything too.
ReplyDeleteVery glad to hear he agreed to go and I look forward to hearing how it goes :) And I hope that your cycle starts to even out soon so you can get the ball rolling!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're starting to feel better about things, & the therapy is a great idea. I hope your cycle straightens out soon so you can go forward with your plans!
ReplyDeleteIm glad you are both on the same page and this will def help with the upcoming cycle...We seen a therapist at our reproductive office and she was great...Helped us get through the IVF and then through our first trimester...Also helped us work through our past losses:)
ReplyDeleteSo happy you have a plan and that you're feeling a little better about everything. I hope you and Mr SC end up liking the therapist and that she's a help to you. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI'm really happy that you're mapping out a plan to continue. Have a plan always makes everything more management (for me anyways). I think therapy is an excellent idea and i'm glad mr SC has agreed to this. i'm thinking of you and hoping like hell that this all works out for you - and soon!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for taking the reins, and taking some steps. I like your plan. Crossing my fingers so very hard for you Kelly...
ReplyDeleteKelly, I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I'm sorry that this is so hard. It's not right.
ReplyDeletelove,
