Ranty rant:
Talked to the OB nurse (a bit frustrated that doc couldn't call me). She relayed that he wants me to continue testing for 6 more months but I could switch to every-other-month blood tests if I want. I told her about the research but she said he's standing his ground and wants 6 more months of blood draws.
Initially I was really pissed. I ugly cried and talked to MH about it. As I talked about it I realized that if he told me I could ttc I wasn't sure I wanted to right away anyway. So why am I upset? I guess I just wanted this whole thing to be over with.
My emotions are all over the map and I've been unsure of what I've wanted for some time now. I was so focused on when we could TTC I don't think I was listening to my gut/heart as to when I felt "ready" to ttc. If we wait 6 more months that will land us in July and that's starting to sound like a reasonable wait. I am actually feeling less anxious about ttc now that there is a definite (not wishy washy) date to look toward. I can't tell you why I'm suddenly at peace with this sentence, but maybe I just needed more time emotionally.
So, we haven't been terribly careful this cycle but I also don't think we hit any fertile days anyway so I doubt there will be a bfp this month. If there is then of course we will roll with it and I'm sure everything will be okay.
tl;dr
H and I decided to wait (and actively TTA) until July per doctors orders. Some things may change along the way and that's fine, but I honestly am feeling content about that choice right now. So, I might pop in to WTDS to say hi and LT you ladies but this might be me "signing off" for a while You're all the best support a lady could ask for and I am so grateful for the love and comfort you've all given me through this "waiting to do something" phase.
