I still haven't made the call to my RE and I keep putting it off. I'm sure they will call me when the results from the last tests are in anyway, but at our last conversation they expected that I'd be starting bc in mid-July. I'm thinking more and more that I want to take a little time off - maybe delay the start of the meds until mid-August. I'm just not sure that I'm ready to jump back in, but then I hear the voice telling me I shouldn't waste any more time. I don't know what to do. The thought of the hormones, the needles, the blood tests, the ultrasounds, the procedures, and then the inevitable unhappy ending -- ugh. Should I continue if I don't have any hope? I have to get my mind in the right place - but I don't really know how.
I have a feeling that a co-worker is going through fertility treatments. I'd never directly ask, but the mysterious appointments, moodiness, lack of attention to the job -- I like to think I recognize the signs. If that is the case, I do hope it works out for her - but if it does work out for her, I don't really know how I'll react.
From reading this post, it seems to me like taking a break might be the right decision. I think this might be a case of following your heart over your head. Logically, we all want to just keep going, cycle after cycle, but our bodies need time to rest. A month or two is only a blip of time in the long run...
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Amanda. There is no harm in taking a short break.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to say to the co-worker. Even if they are going through fertility treatments they may not want to talk about it, even with others who are going through something similar. If it does work out, chances are she may be more likely to talk about it, which may bring your closer. She is lucky to have you a sensitive co-worker like you.
