What's next?

Since letting my bad news sink in, I am feeling OK. I am not as devastated as I was with my first miscarriage. For some reason, I knew this one would not work out. We had only told parents and a couple people close to us so I don't have to go though too much trauma telling people we lost it.

After seeing the doctor yesterday, Justin and I went to a gym close to our house and signed up for 12 weeks of personal training three days a week. I think my weight has something to do with the losses, so we are both getting in shape. I am going to continue my acupuncture and taking the various chinese herbs, start the Metformin again and do the low/slow carb diet, and just focus on getting my body healthy reproductively.

Sometime this summer, we will do a fresh cycle of IVF. I may be of advanced maternal age, but I will get pregnant and carry a baby to term and finally be a mom.

Despite the news, I had a very nice birthday yesterday. We went to the Melting Pot (a fondue restaurant) for dinner. Justin had never been and he really liked it. Tonight we are going to a concert: Bugs Bunny on Broadway. You can't go wrong with classical music and cartoons.
