On your marks, Get set, GO!

02 June 2010

It was exactly a year ago now that I went to my family doctor to get the ball rolling around this infertility stuff. A whole year of tests, endless Dr. wait-lists, anxiety over the unknown and the what-ifs, hopes with each cycle that this would be the lucky one, dashed hopes when it wasn't, the why-me's, the what gives, the have you tried this or that's, and the comments from others about when will you ever get going on this baby business. After a whole year in the start blocks poised to take off -I was getting a bit stiff!

Calling in my Day 1 to start a treatment cycle was like the starting gun going off yesterday. Wow, things are moving fast now! Someone hit go and we're off and running. It's been so long since I climbed in the start blocks, I'm not sure what event I'm entered in anymore. Will it be a sprint, or do I need to conserve a bit of energy and pace myself for a longer distance event? Will this race be anything I imagined it to be? Oh well no time to worry about that now, huff, puff, huff, puff... just have to keep going -come on legs, work with me here.
