I honestly had to go back and re read the post from last week. The entire week was kind of a blur. It started out with feeling like a punch in the gut. I’m out of the daze now though.

I now know the reason I was so calm last week. Well, I figured it out as I was telling some friends who asked me how I was “really” doing. I honestly didn’t realize it until that moment. It was Jay, when I called him to let him know the news, he just said ok, we will do it again. We are committed and we will just follow the doctors orders for next time. It will be ok. Of course his words didn’t hit me until I had a couple of hours of crying under my belt. And when I was explaining how he calmed me down I realized my main upset was the cost. What we have already spent and what we now have left to spend again. I mean I knew the possibilities. I knew what we would be in for. But, I really wanted it to work the first time. So, him being so calm about it made me calm. I am just so thankful for him. Another reason to be madly in love with my husband.

Okay, enough with the mushy stuff. 😆

I also wanted to clarify the statement I wrote last week. There is no scientific proof (that I have seen or read) that the second time is more successful than the first. I’ve just read, watched and heard so many stories of couples going through IVF and it working the second time around. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Lol 😂 One reason may be that it is so stressful the first time (in my opinion), that by the second time you know what to expect and are probably slightly more at ease. 🤞I am hoping, at least!!

I feel so much better now that I am able to run every day. I always forget how much it helps my psyche until I am in it again. You are not supposed to be doing any strenuous exercise while you are on the medication and in the process. And, I am now so happy running on the treadmill, in my lanai, under the fan. It is too damn hot to be running outside for me! No thank you. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I have a couple more weeks until anything else will be happening. So you may not hear from us until then. We are still very appreciative for all of you. It really does make a difference! And we cannot thank you enough from the bottom of our hearts!!!

Until then 🥂😘❤️💕🙏🤞🏃‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️
