Suddenly excited about IVF#3

Carol77B

I have been very "blah" about trying IVF again because I've had kind of a defeatist attitude about it working, even though I'm confident that we are changing things up enough that I really have a good shot at this time. I haven't been able to get excited about it or look forward to it with anticipation, more like with dread. However today I went out to lunch and saw a woman with four girls (all spaced about 18 months apart) and while I have no interest in that many kids, (and I may have been projecting, but I figured they must have kept trying for a boy), it did make me think again about my own desire for a mini-me to take to Panera for lunch and it was almost like I heard a voice say- "you won't get that if you don't keep trying and that's why you're doing IVF" and "boom" suddenly I'm eager and excited and hopeful again for the next IVF and my period can't come soon enough so I can schedule the hysteroscopy and then start the estrogen priming for IVF#3.

So really random, but I do believe in "signs" and feel like this was a very positive sign.

YES!!! This exactly... I was really hesitant about the idea of having a December baby. Not that it really mattered, but after everything we have gone through I fully intend to spoil the *spit* out of my kid, and dont really want that to be minimized because of holidays. Anyway, Dh is an Aquarius, and it was just the simple thought that trying again now meant that our LO should all the stars align will be an Aquarius like Daddy. That made me smile and I got a little bit of excitement about it.  

Point is, sometimes this stuff pulls us to some dark places, but we always have to look out for the things that give us hope again. 

So happy you had that experience to help you with your IVF mojo!

Thinking of you ladies. Glad to hear you're in a place to keep going forward. Good luck to both! [:

This is great to read. I'm calling my third round IVF #2.1, but I haven't managed to get excited about it yet. Maybe this enthusiasm will rub off on me.

When do you start? Good luck!!!

@pblge my hysteroscopy is tentatively scheduled for 4/8, but that could change depending on when AF decides to show, so with that and starting the estrogen priming a couple of weeks later, I'm looking at early June stimming and early/mid June ER/ET.

@jaztaz1 I saw from your post that you are looking at a FET later on, which is disappointing, but sounds like there is a good plan in place to get you KU. My EDD would be in early to early/mid March and it would be near our anniversary and my husband's birthday and my dad's birthday, so those are more good signs for me.

It's all good, I'm so happy with the plan it outweighs the delay.

That's great!  I have yet to get excited over the next cycle but hopefully I will soon.  Good luck!

That's great!  I need to get my butt in gear to be more positive and optimistic about this whole thing.
