Apologies for the lateness, had this all typed up yesterday afternoon, but our net decided to play silly buggars. Nice.
Well. As appointments go, things went...no better than I expected really.
$125 later we now know for a fact that the only way we are ever going to make the Bump we want, is via IVF. Still feeling a bit numb about it all. It's one thing to have it sit in the back of your mind that theres a good chance it will be this way, but for a professional to confirm it out loud? Yeah.
We went in thinking we may have a few options as we knew E's latest test showed that the count had doubled since Mays test, motility still looked normal... but the morphology is where we needed to see the improvement, and unfortunately, no change.
Still. At least this means we qualify for publically funded IVF. With one very big problem.
Me.
So. For the time being, Bump in the Making is temporarily undergoing a bit of renovating, and is not so much about making a baby for my pre-existing, toffeepop induced bump.It will primarily be about LOSING said bump in order to get us on that waiting list for publically funded IVF (unless anyone would like to kindly donate $10K to our Bump-making business. Ah. Thought not) We will still be trying, but we wont be doing the whole fingers, legs, eyes crossed as I near the end of each cycle hoping for a second pink line to show up.
I suppose if we are making this about Losing Bump, one should start by posting the infamous Before shot.Hmmmph. If you say so. Incoming later on this evening when E gets home and take it at a more 'flattering' angle. Thank the lord (and Microsoft) for Paint and its 'crop' function. Who wants to see their face plastered on the net with the 'before weight loss' picture. Not pretty.
Now. I have a Plan. (Unlike Martin Luther King Jr, I prefer Plans to dreams) I like Plans. Right about now, those who have known me for some time will be nodding and laughing. Go on. Admit it guys.
Tomorrow afternoon I have an appointment with the GP to see if he can put me on Reductil to temporarily help speed up the weight loss, then meeting with a friend (You ready MadMum? :P ) over some upcoming weekends for a walk/run around local parks and gardens etc, I will be USING my gym membership for what I am still paying weekly for. I am even going to go out this weekend and buy a skipping rope. *Blinks* Just don't blame E for any black eyes I may or may not be sporting over the coming weeks.
Once I get down to 83kg, i can ring Fertility Associates up and get the ball rolling for IVF. Unfortunately that ball takes approximately 12 months to roll to where we want to be. So essentially, I want to get down to 83kg in as short a time as possible, then spend the following 12 months losing a bit more to get down to a healthier weight, and then maintain that weight
To finish my ramblings I will outline the weight goals
Current weight - 105kg
Immediate goal - 83kg (Being the max weight for my height to get on IVF waiting list
End Goal - 60kg - This is what I was at 18, and lets be honest, i looked much healthier back then!
No more toffeepops.
Excuse me while I go mourn the loss of a girl's best friend
