After my skipped cycle, I was doing a lot of soul searching. Most likely I was just bouncing around the stages of grief--from anger to denial to acceptance back to depression. I did have to admit though that something had likely happened with my body/ovaries and I couldn't fix it. I had a tearful visit with my practitioner at The Clinic and we decided to suspend our treatments. I continued taking their supplements but I only received acupuncture from Dr. K. I would continue seeing him until my Thanksgiving hormone deadline.
I had to truly consider my options...If I wanted to have another child, I had to look into adoption or donor eggs. I began preliminary research on both but felt confused and sad. I didn't know how either would fit into my existing family structure with one biological child and both options were very pricey. Or maybe our family truly was complete with one child. I felt stuck.
In the meantime, I had another period beginning on August 22. I was glad but not overly hopeful.
