Yes I'm Still Trying to Have a Baby

The thing they don’t tell you about IVF is all of the waiting.

I was planning to share a week-in-the-life-style story, but the last month has been full of absolutely nothing. It’s been full of waiting.

Instead, here’s how the last few weeks have gone:

Any news?
Nope.

What’s next?
No idea.

Do you have any plans [next weekend, next month, next year]?
Not yet.

How are you doing?
Not sure.

Instead, here’s how I chose to spend the waiting:

• Going to the pool. (During active treatment, swimming is not advised.)

• Visiting my brother in Austin. (During active treatment, travel is not advised.)

• Drinking coffee. (During active treatment, caffeine is not advised.)

• Trying every new IPA I find. (During active treatment, alcohol is not advised.)

• Spending a few days alone with my thoughts and some pens. (During active treatment, spending time alone with your thoughts is not advised. 🤣)

Why wallow in the waiting when you can make the most of it?

I’m off on another trip tomorrow and hope to return with some news about what’s next. Until then, I’ll be finding the silver linings on this journey.
