On the horizon....

You know when you're on a big flat piece of land or water and you can look out and see the horizon and it feels like the world will just go on forever? I sort of feel that way a little bit now.

Have I neglected to mention here that I scheduled our phone consultation with Dr. Brilliant at Clinic D? Before going on, let's recap for those who don't remember:

Clinic A - Dr. Hope
Clinic B - I never named the doctor there because I didn't end up cycling there as she validated everything Dr. Hope was doing, but, let's call her Dr. Encouragement
Clinic C - Dr. Expert
Clinic D - Dr. Brilliant

The call will be at the end of January, and, I'm really looking forward to it. I really have no idea what to expect. I have sent them, I swear, a 3 inch stack of paper that comprises my infertility medical records, plus I have records being sent from some extraneous doctors. I am not naive enough to believe that he is going to have the magic potion that will suddenly make me produce 10 healthy eggs, but, well, let's just wait and see.

However, I think I'm getting much closer to, if we do not cycle at Clinic D, being ready to go the donor egg route. And, I think that is giving me a little sense of peace.

I guess finally being close to selling my house has given me a renewed sense of optimism about good things happening for us.

I look out at our horizon and I feel hopeful!

Hmmm, no it's not and I'm wondering why you asked? It's actually out of state. Something I should know??

Sounds like a great plan for going forward, that always helps! Glad you are feeling more optimistic!

I'm hoping Clinic D is in Colorado. And I'm looking forward to an update following the consult.

And ... SO happy for you that the house finally sold - good grief that was a long time to wait.

it's such a hard thing to be in limbo. It's even harder to go "okay, I give" and move to donor eggs. You are an extremely strong person - no matter what happens you'll be okay. Thankfully it's all coming together by the end of the month. Best to you - still praying for you.

I didn't mean to be so elusive but want to stay totally anonymous for this. I am on the Nest and currently working with IVFNJ in Somerset. They have some of the highest stats around for DE. If you want to talk offline, JF770@aol.com.

Good luck.

I see you are 100% subscribed to my new mantra! I am anxious to hear all about the consult.

I just found your blog...and like Polly, I hope Clinic D is in Colorado! If it is, I say "good choice!" I'm on IVF #7 (#2 in CO) and I have only good things to say. I've decided that it isn't worth doing again unless it is with the best! Good Luck. I'll be following along...
