It ACTUALLY Happened!

Can you believe I actually got my period on my own today?! That hasn't happened since 1998. I NEVER thought it would happen that way. I was just saying how hard it is to predict any part of this process - this is a perfect example!

I am cycling a full 18 days earlier than if I had waited the entire 8 weeks and then induced it. It isn't often in the journey of infertility that something goes easier than you expect. It's almost always the opposite. I am excited to know that no matter where this process takes me, I am one step closer to becoming a mother for the second time! Who would expect a woman who desperately wants to get pregnant to thoroughly enjoy getting her period!! That's part of what makes this journey so unique to those who experience it.

I called to schedule my HSG today and I'm still waiting for them to call me back. The nurse said they usually do the test somewhere around CD7 to CD12 (cycle day 7 to cycle day 12) and today is CD1. I am not really looking forward to the test (it really hurt last time) but I want to get the ball rolling.

I hope you are beginning to see how intense this part of my life is, because I'm sure it's hard to comprehend for those of you who have never been there. Thank you for trying to understand. Also, to those of you who have been there too and are here to support me - thanks - you are priceless!

Woohoo! I'm so happy that things are falling into place for you! Here's hoping Hadley's sibling has an easier time getting here than Hadley did!
