Parenting after chronic infertility. Our story involves working with CCRM after experiences with diminished ovarian reserve, severe male factor infertility, 4 reproductive endocrinologists, 8 donor embryos, 2 IVFs, 6 FETS, 1 fresh donor egg cycle, 1 failed agency egg donor, 15 vitrified donor eggs, 4 surgeries for her, 1 for him, 3 miscarriages, 1 chemical and 5 canceled cycles. After seven years, one amazing couple set us on a new path by choosing us to be parents for their son.

Here we go again
Rolling the dice on CD 1 again.
Wonder what's in store. Will it be a nice plump cyst for month #3? A plump cyst that produces estrogen? A small cyst? Or a green flag from the doctor to attempt IVF #2 (procedure number 8.5 - who's counting though?)
While I'm glad my period did finally show up, it didn't come without a bit of drama. It interrupts a weekend we were planning with D's parents. I was already not sleeping well just thinking about this weekend. I enjoy their company but I really need it in smaller doses. They have some odd habits, including ones surrounding their cat (who travels with us!).
I wasn't totally geared up to go away with them yet. So maybe it's a blessing in disguise.
I'm really glad my period didn't start late in the day today because that would added considerable stress to the situation, we would have been several hours in the opposite direction as our clinic.
Second silver lining...an entirely free weekend! :)
