The only constant...

...is change. I took a long time off from blogging, which almost matches my break time from any ART. In that time: I've resigned from my job of ten years It was a hard decision, and frankly, I wasn't ready to leave. But I felt like God was leading me to a different place, and where He leads me, I try to follow. I believe it was the right decision, because I do feel that I am less stressed. My new commute is closer to home, I work less hours, and I've gotten a "raise". We a new job comes new insurance, so I have another opportunity to try again.

I've lost 27 pounds. This was no easy feat, and I'm proud of having done that. I would like to lose some more weight, but we will see how things go.

I've started with a new RE. This is officially cycle #4, even though I only got to transfer once. This new doctor has me on the Estrogen Priming Protocol with the patch. This is supposed to prevent one follicle from jumping out in front of the rest and giving the others a chance to catch up. The hope is that this produces more eggs. I started injections yesterday. Of course I start on the night we have to go to a party and in a snowstorm. There's nothing like being in a public bathroom shooting yourself up with fertility drugs ;)

That's all for now. I don't plan to blog every day, but will update when I have RE visits.

Peace and Blessings.
