Good to go for the new year

We have everything in place to start our next fresh cycle of IVF after the holidays. I called the fertility specialist last week and they said all I have to do is call on day 1 of my next cycle and we'll start the whole process again. We hope this one is the cycle for us.

This year for Christmas David and I decided not to get each other gifts. Instead, we bought ourselves a treadmill. I'm very excited to have a piece of exercise equipment that I can use everyday without having to drive to the gym. We used to belong to a gym, but after working on your feet for 10 hours, the last thing you want to do is drive 20 minutes to a crowded gym and have to circle for a working treadmill or elliptical. My motivation for using the treadmill is Grey's Anatomy. I am only allowing myself to watch Grey's while on the treadmill. I'm hoping that this will become a daily habit that will keep me healthy and reduce stress not only during the IVF cycle but also during the resulting pregnancy.
