Getting Going in 2011

I have been a little lax in ordering Michael's supplements (and in figuring out our plan of action for 2011), but I finally got inspired to get going on it after meeting my friend for lunch last weekend. We are both trying to "get to baby," and it's helpful for us to compare notes and encourage each other . . . and light a fire under each other as necessary. :) After meeting with her, I realized it was necessary for me, as I have not been very motivated on the baby topic since before the holidays. I think I have been a little depressed, and it has just seemed easier to let go of the struggle than to constantly be thinking about the next step(s) in the process.

But here is what I have done so far since Saturday:

• Ordered Michael's FertilAid supplement (got free shipping and 10% off thanks to Facebook)
  
• Ordered Michael's herbs from the local naturopathic college (they will be shipped to us so I don't have to try to find time to drive all the way there)
• Wrote a letter to Dr. David Redwine (endometriosis specialist) in Bend, asking his opinion on whether another laparoscopy would improve our chances of getting and staying pregnant if we try IVF.
• Called my OBGYN's office to try and get the test results from my latest ultrasound which was a month ago now . . . I've decided to switch doctors since they seem to have a really hard time getting back to me in a timely manner with test results.
• Looked at Oregon Reproductive Medicine's website again and made plans to call for an initial consult after I get an answer back from Dr. Redwine.

I am scared to death about going to ORM, but trying to be proactive--because honestly, this baby isn't going to arrive if we don't do something about it.

I'll keep you posted. :)
