I'm on my third cycle of this break pause. But I'm gearing up for a return. I have my new insurance card in hand; coverage starts January 1. I have an appointment tomorrow for a pap, and g.onorrhea and c.hlamydia tests (required by new insurance for any fertility coverage). I have appointments in January with a new GP from whom I am confident I will extract the all-important referral, and an already-scheduled appointment with a new fertility doc who takes the new insurance. I also have a new commitment to fight any gay bias I encounter, anyone who tries to block me from fertility coverage. (Thank you to Travelher - "Roadblocks are meant to be driven through." - I'm feeling armoured with a huge Monster Truck, ready to drive through.)
I'm going into holidays with family (tough times lately, my sweetie lost her grandma a few weeks ago) as a final battery re-charge, and then in January I'm getting back in the saddle. I imagine the first course of action will be fibroid surgery, so it may be more months before we get more sperm inside me, but we'll start working on it.
Just wanted to say, that despite my need to hide from the (in)fertility world for awhile, I love you all very much, am grateful for having had you in my life in 2008, and wish you happy, happy holidays. And lots of babies in 2009! Big hugs.
