One step forward.. 2 steps back

I am cautious about filling my blog with negativity and complaining & unhelpful whinging. Which is why I haven't written for a while...
I will try to update with as little emotion as possible for your sake! (Whoever you are that is reading this). PS.. Pretty pleased with 1000 views :)

  • Lovely AF decided to be a week late this month - this means that the Detailed Endometrial Internal Ultrasound that needs to be taken on CD 5-10 needed to be rescheduled -- did I mention that RPA only have one staff member who does this scan and she is only available on Mondays?? So rescheduling is an enormous pain in the butt. Every month that the process is set back is frustrating!! So, I decided to fork out the $400 & get the test done at a private hospital - which is happening on Tuesday. Fingers & toes crossed it clears me of endo & I am given the green light! Not feeling overly confident but there's one hurdle...
  • I don't think I've mentioned that I also have Crohn's disease. Aren't I one lucky lady?? Crohns was diagnosed 6 years ago & I am currently in remission & feeling good. My last colonoscopy was clear & I've had no symptoms. My fertility specialist has insisted that I get a letter from my gastroenterologist confirming that I am healthy enough to undergo IVF. Well, looong story short - my tests came back with some anomalies & my gastro wants to do another colonoscopy!!!! Arg!! 
Ok ok I've become completely emotional & I apologise for the whinging. It's so important that I am as heathy as I can be before starting IVF. I need to be patient. I just keep coming back to self pity (why me? It's not fair. Wah wah) . The journey continues - I need to just take one step at a time. 
But in the meantime... Time for a nap.
