Appointment next week

We had to wait until August to start working with the RE because we had to switch medical groups.

August is here, and we've switched groups, so we can start working with the RE. I have an appointment next Friday for an ultrasound and to learn how to do injections.

Then we'll start the injections a few days before my current cycle ends. Hopefully our injectable cycle does the trick and we don't even have to move on to IVF.

I've been reading a lot of other people's blogs, and they are kind of depressing. Depressing because I understand how they're feeling, and I see that IVF didn't work for many of them, so they're left feeling even more depressed. I'm so scared that will be me.

Success rates for my age group are over 50%, but because of my various issues, I'm given the odds of 30%. So I have to be prepared that I will likely not get pregnant. How do you do that and stay positive at the same time? It's very confusing.

To help with my confusion, I've made an appointment with a therapist who specializes in infertility. Hopefully she can help me wrap my brain around this. I'm meeting with her next Wednesday.

I've also made an acupuncture appointment. It's supposed to help IVF, so we might as well try as much as possible to give ourselves the best shot. This will be my third acupuncture practitioner. The first one was nuts and the second one was too far away. Hopefully third times a charm.

Just waiting... tick tock...
