Well, it has been a fairly long journey to get to this point, and it is going to be a bit longer. The trip started pretty much at the beginning of this year when my wife tried to quit smoking. That took a few months, then testing for Rubella, and getting on the wait list for the fertility clinic. It was about five months ago that we got the phone call about when we might get our first appointment. After testing, purchasing sperm and more testing we now have a new timeline.
The surgery to remove the polyp in my uterus is scheduled for mid November. That is another two months away, then another cycle after that for our first attempt. Late November would be my first ovulation after the surgery. That is too early in my opinion, no healing time. However the next ovulation would be over the Christmas/New Year period, which after reading a few other blogs, I’m not convinced our clinic will be open those days. I’ve emailed the clinic to check.
On the upside, that gives me more time to lose weight, on the downside, that is lessening the possibility of my Grandma flying over for the birth, even now that is a remote possibility. My boss is happy of the delayed timeframe. She is in slight denial that I would be leaving for maternity leave.
As my other posts before this one, New Month, New Vigor or New Month, New Motivation, I need to kick up my weight loss again. I don’t think I’m the only one that goes through this cycle of three steps forward and two steps backwards, or should I say three pounds lost, and two pounds gained. As long as it doesn’t turn into two pounds lost and three gained, repeatedly it is still technically progress.
So now I need to get rid of the cruise pounds, and continue on my weight loss lifestyle. Going from full buffet for a week to normal is a hard transition. I just had three cookies with Tea Tuesday. Not a good diet choice. Our vegetables haven’t been cut yet for our lunch salads either; Sunday had very good reasons, Monday medium good reason. But tonight it is the night they have to get done. I think my body is craving the veggies again.
My current goal is to work out on Tuesdays and Thursdays, NO EXCUSES. The closer I get to possible pregnancy the more worried I am that I will be put on bed rest because my body can’t support the weight of baby and pregnancy gain. Well, today is Tuesday, and I have a million other things that need to be done, but I NEED to put working out in the top three.
On the fertility goals, I have also put an email into our friend who is a Fertility Acupuncturist, who owns a clinic that focuses on Fertility, which also has massage, and chiropractic, along with a few other services. Currently I have three extended medical plans which has coverage for such things, and two of which have amounts that expire at the end of the year, thus, I might as well use them up. So I am trying to be one relaxed cookie by the time I go for the first IUI treatment. If only the plans also covered Manis/Pettis, that would be the ultimate relaxation day.
