Waiting to start feels harder than ever...

So for the second time our treatment has been delayed... Our unit is moving. I can't fault them. They're amazing and so caring and understanding. 

It's the whole 'life on hold'. And then I feel guilty for feeling angry that I can't plan work or play because this is the most important thing ever. And I may have to get used to this for a lot lot longer. Even if it does work! 

And of course I just want to get going because I'm a serial reader! And I'm now considering a PhD in "infertility Google diagnostics".

Ah, I love this place for a Saturday morning moan. x

Awww, I can imagine how it feels like when you say 'life on hold' as I felt the same way until I made the decision that whatever happens I am starting my MBA in September. I think you should go for your PhD if that's what you want to do regardless (everything will fall into place). All the best hun x

I found the waiting and life in limbo land difficult, I felt better once we had started treatment.

Perhaps you could make some short term plans whilst the clinic moves?

Yeah I think I need to have some other aims. It's not even that long!

Look at you with your Google Dr... Already a career in sights! It's our first go too. Good luck to you too x

I know exactly how you feel everything on hold and no money to do anything anyway! Maybe short and long term goals are best, I think I need to set a time limit on everything because it's totally miserable in limbo land! X

Definitely think time limits are something to consider. We've done that and not even started yet.  Good luck x
