Timing

I'm a planner. I have most of my day planned at the time I wake up. I have plans for the week and for the month. This whole IF stuff always throws my plans out the window. I wonder if that is part of the reason (if there is one) why I've had to go through IF... to help me not to stress about plans.

My newest planning obsession is the timing for our IVF cycle. I want a definite timeline so that I have a "plan" to present to my employers and that they can then decide if they want to work with me and get me the time off or if it will be time for me to leave my job.

Dr. Opie told us that there would be 1 appointment at the beginning of the cycle- CD 3 U/S & BW. He said there would be 10-12 appts during the stimming part of the cycle for more BW & U/S. I would have 1 appointment to simulate egg transfer and then have the ER itself and ET. On both the ER and ET days he suggested taking it easy. He also suggested I take it easy- no lifting, etc a few days after ET. He also said something along the lines of, "you want to take the 2ww easy. You don't want to look back and wonder if you did something that prevented implantation." With this being our only shot at IVF I'm inclined to take the entire 2ww easy... flat on my back in bed. But... I'm jumping ahead of myself. Perhaps by then I can calm myself and my "plans" down and just go with the flow.... I'm so happy I have acupuncture this weekend. Dr. T will be able to help me de-stress.
