Sabbatical or a sabbatical (from Latin: sabbaticus, from Greek: sabbatikos (σαββατικός), from Hebrew: shabbat (שבת) (i.e., Sabbath), literally a "ceasing") is a rest from work, or a break, often lasting from two months to a year. (per Wikipedia)
This is where we are.
I was told to touch base with the doctor after I had a "bleed." Well, lovely Aunt Flow never showed up...so I reached out to the clinic last week regarding this and wondering why it didn't happen. They said based on my circumstances, I may not even have a visit from the lovely Auntie. They told me that the doctor is wanting to change things up and "Prime" my uterus for a few months before gauging the thickness of the lining again. He wanted to start us on more medicine Oct 1st and then take a 2-3 months to get the uterus ready and check the lining again. With a frozen transfer, you have more lenience on when you can do the actual transfer and Dr. C was more than optimistic that this would work. However, per my last post, I've been in a funk...a downward spiral of craziness and a barrel of other emotions that need to be dealt with.
As you know, all things, including SH*T, hit the fan and it brought to the surface many other issues in my life that are unorganized and that are in need of fixing. So, we checked with the clinic regarding our ATTAIN program and how much time we have to complete the process along with any constraints that might interfere if we were to take a slight break to re-group and get in better, ready status. The clinic came back and let us know that we basically have 36-months to complete the program and as long as we stay on track and follow the doctor's recommendations in that time frame, there should be no issue if we take a break to relax and recoup.
So, I am currently resting from work and taking a break...a sabbatical. I'm going to focus on my body and mind and take a break from meds until the first of the year. We have a couple trips planned and we're going to enjoy life for the time being with no worries. Hopefully, this will help me with the craziness and will prepare me to go through this again.
