And I agree with the others. There is no perfect time to have kids. We also waited and waited for the right time and we thought when we start trying, it will be immediate. Guess what happened?debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09541972871782432860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918545958452884679.post-85506995939609082782008-10-01T13:23:00.000-06:002008-10-01T13:23:00.000-06:00Ugh.

My husband was the one who asked to have another baby so before I started injecting myself full of hormones in our first IVF cycle, I asked him straight up - ARE YOU SURE? And he said yes. And then his mom tells me that he said he wasn't even sure if he wanted another one. WTF? His mom is a manipulator though, so I can't really trust that he really said that. <BR/><BR/>So your hormone thing is simply from the provera? When did it start? Are you always really emotional in the weeks before your period? I wonder if it was the ~increase~ of progesterone (which was you taking the pills) or the sudden ~descrease~ from stopping them. <BR/><BR/>And yes, it can take 7-10 days to get AF. Remember, provera is tricking your body into thinking you just ovulated. After you O, the Corpus Luteum makes progesterone telling your body to plump up lining to wait for a fertilized egg. If that egg doesn't come down to implants in 7-10 days, the corpus luteam dies off, which stops making progesterone. (if you were pregnant, the hcg from implantation would tell that corpus luteum to stay alive and increase progesterone to sustain the pregnancy). Without progesterone, your body goes "guess we aren't pregnant" and it'll start the process to slough off the lining, resulting in AF.<BR/><BR/>Sorry if you already knew that, but I simply know way too much about the reproductive system.nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479202205264710056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918545958452884679.post-52696639042131546612008-10-01T10:12:00.000-06:002008-10-01T10:12:00.000-06:00Oh hun...I feel your frustration. But I've heard ...Oh hun...I feel your frustration. But I've heard time and time again that there is NEVER a perfect time to have a baby. Life just isn't that way and I think you know that.<BR/><BR/>I need to get over this as well. We've put off TTC time and time again until we finish just "one more thing". First it was Jim going to paramedic school, then it was me going back to school, then it was weddings...you get the point. Life is just crazy and will continue to throw things in your path. <BR/><BR/>Hang in there and I really hope AF shows soon so you can rid yourself of these hormones!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204415329892149964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918545958452884679.post-30590677651079446362008-10-01T09:57:00.000-06:002008-10-01T09:57:00.000-06:00There is no perfect time to have kids. I love how ...There is no perfect time to have kids. I love how people say "I want to be financially stable before I have kids." You will NEVER have enough money to have kids. Never! No matter how much or how little money you have, you're always going to wish you had more to give to your kid. You're always going to want the best for your child. If you love your child, you will find a way to make it work. <BR/><BR/>People place too much emphasis on perfection... but perfection doesn't exist. If we don't expect people to be perfect, how can we hold "time" to those same standards? <BR/><BR/>It's likely that you're husband's response is just a reaction from your emotional melt downs and his stress. He's probably thinking "If I wait until a time when we aren't under so much stress, TTC will be a lot easier." It doesn't work that way. When you're an adult, life is complicated by stress every single day. It's an unfortunate consequence of being a grown-up.<BR/><BR/>{{{HUGS}}} Carpe Diem hun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
