Monday, July 14, 2008 | A General Update story

I have been doing my best to take a little break from all of this IF madness for the past few weeks.  It was easier once I accepted that there is nothing I can control.  IF has it’s own plan, at least for this month.  I really feel I let go and that it did some good.

 

DH and I booked a cruise to Bermuda and we leave next weekend.  I have been exercising and watching my diet.  I have been doing some yoga.  I have been working on my tan and catching up on housework.  I have been spending time with family and friends.  I bought some new clothes for my trip and proudly I am down 2 sizes.  I have been focusing on myself and it felt good.

 

Now, I am ready to get back into the game.  If this were a normal cycle, like the kind I used to have before last October, before PCOS, Clomid, or miscarriages, I would have expected AF to arrive last week.  I can’t even begin to predict when she’ll come.  All I know is that I am ready (and I’d REALLY rather not have to contend with her on my vacation, LOL, but what can I do.) 

 

I feel like I am in a better place mind, body and spirit.  I am renewed and ready to try again.  I am trying not to worry (too much) about what I can’t control and trust that whatever happens will be for the best.

    Have a great vacation. Sounds like you have already done some cleansing and a change of scenery may make it even better. It is really hard to acknowledge that we don't have control of any of this and I commend you on your realization and letting go. You are stronger than you probably know and IF will make you even stronger and test your patience. I am praying for you guys. I hope you have a blast on your cruise!
    Take care.

    I think that is great on how you are looking at it!!! i did the same when i found out that we have to do IVF, it is just one of those things that you have to do or you will drive yourself crazy about it!!!i hope AF waits and doesn't come or comes after your cruise!!! i have been to bermuda it is beautiful, when you get there you and your DH will have to go snorkeling in horse shoe bay. we saw sea turtles and all kinds of stuff there it was a blast!!! have fun!!!!!
