Fears...


I made the decision to get my tubes tied, I made that choice. I sometimes feel now that I don’t really have the right to be given another child, and that is where my fear lies now.

My fear now is that it will not work for me. I have done IVF twice before with success on the first try! Why am I afraid it won't work this time? I think maybe because I only have ONE shot at it. When I was doing this for other people, I knew we were going to try at least three cycles, so there was not a lot of worry involved.

I never felt the worry, it worked the first attempt.

I am afraid it won’t be the same for me now that I am doing this for myself.

C’s fear (when we have talked in the past) is it will produce more than one babe. That I could be some Octuplet Mom! Haha… but seriously... No, we would be transferring 2 embryos (maybe 3 depending on the quality and for a better chance of having one.)

It is now only March. The transfer would be sometime in August or September, it seems a lifetime away. I promised C that if we decide to do this we will have a summer where we can do things together and have a good time, as last summer I was pregnant with the peanut. This way if it works I will be pregnant over the winter and have the baby in the spring of 2010, which would work out nicely for all of us.
