High hopes

OK, for some bizarre reason I had high hopes for this cycle.

You hear these stories, women who have been battling to conceive for years who, when on the verge of treatment, have a surprise pregnancy. It has to happen to somebody, right?

Add to this the fact that this is our golden cycle which, surely means something. Right?

Wrong!

The usual signs are here. We are heading in to our 51st cycle, does this mean that it is downhill from here?

We are just over a week away from the appointment. I am 2lbs down on the weight loss and I finally had the chat with my mum. There were tears from both parties but I think she understands. She did seem OK about it. She said that she was still feeling under the weather which was making her teary. I cried because I felt like I had upset her and so, there we sat in T.esco's car park, crying.

I'm glad it's over with.

Now all I need to do is try and lose as much weight as possible between now and Feb. Oh, and get through the first appointment, a round of IVF, need I go on?

No, I get it.

I keep hoping that things will happen, and we'll look back laughing at how sure we were we couldn't conceive naturally. But, to date, it hasn't happened.

Arse.

Sometimes spending time in a parking lot crying can be just what you need. Although it was hard to tell your mom at first, I hope now that the door is open you can get the support you need.

I've been there so many times. Too many to count. What makes it harder is that I just read a blog a few weeks ago where that *did* happen. On the verge of treatment and a natural pregnancy came their way.

I'm glad things are going better. Crying is part of it...I cry twice to three times a week, easy. Sounds like you're doing great on your weight loss. You're close to your goal! Take care of yourself!
