Preparing for Battle |

It has been almost eight months now since we’ve done any fertility treatments. Eight. I know! I never could have predicted that it would take us this long to get back into the swing of things, but finances and timing being what they were, it has.
Now we’re in the midst of “Period Watch” as I wait for my Provera-induced period to arrive to get things going once again. I’m nervous. I’m anxious. I’m excited. I’m irritated (we can thank the Provera for that). I’m hopeful of what might be. We’re heading back into battle. Or at least that’s how I’m psyching myself up for the onslaught of needles, ultrasounds, and poking and prodding that will be necessary to (hopefully!) knock me up. I’ve been trying to do the right things while I was on a fertility treatment break. I’ve started paying attention to my diet much more carefully. I have started exercising more. I began getting acupuncture and seeing a Naturopathic Doctor (ND). I’ve followed up with doctors about my PCOS and newly diagnosed thyroid issue. I hope that I’ve been doing the right things! But as I wait for the start of a new cycle, I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you that I’m absolutely terrified. I have to confess that I’m one of those people who can get caught up in the negative. Sometimes I dwell on the thought that I will never get pregnant. I get worried that I won’t have enough mature follicles. I fear that I won’t respond well to the medications. That it just won’t work for me. It’s hard not to get overwhelmed by a cloud of negative thoughts sometimes when you’re trying to conceive (ttc). So I need all the help that I can get! That’s why I am so excited that we were able to partner with Circle + Bloom. I have read a lot of positive feedback from others about their body + mind program for conception and I personally listened to their free downloads a while back. Now to have their full program ready and waiting for me on my iPod has me super excited. I was listening to their introductory session again the other night and felt so positive and zen afterwards, I couldn’t believe it. I am hopeful that by listening to a session daily through this cycle my attitude and confidence will remain positive throughout. I will be blogging about my experiences with my treatments this cycle but I’ll also be keeping you posted on how things are going using the Circle + Bloom program in conjunction with my treatments. Even Kieran will be getting in on the action by listening to the programs that they offer for the men! We hope that you’ll join us as we embark again on fertility treatments and witness firsthand our experiences with the Circle + Bloom program. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I absolutely can’t wait for my period to arrive. I want to get going! Comments (1)
