Ways to pass the time?

Question

Hi everyone! I've got 29 days until i start injections and 41 days until transfer for IVF. What are some ways you have found to help make the time go a little quicker? We've been trying for 2 years and have had to process so many announcements from friends. The last 2 years have seemed to go forever but the time until IVF seems even longer 😔 anything you have done each day to pass the time? Countdown, lists, journalling, anything at all 💕💕

Answer

We are in the same boat. I think planning fun activities to look forward to with your friends or family to be helpful. I’m going to plan a lunch or dinner out to a new restaurant with my best friend who lives out of town or maybe a night away with my husband. If you’re in to the gym, book some classes!

Answer

I had two months off before my retrieval but one was due to my vacation overlapping my period and baseline testing. I'm also a FT student so that kept me busy some. We're also avid gym go-ers and like to keep active. I had my consult in May, testing in June (SHG, bloodwork, "official" consult with my husband) and vacation the last week of June/first week of July. 
I had my protocol apt, mandatory injections class, and ordered my meds in July. My husband and I spent a lot of weekends hiking or taking little mini adventures. I also painted my house and re-finished some furniture. We started IVF August 3rd, injections starting August 5th. 
Just find something you like to keep you occupied. Take drives to no where, dive into home projects, surprise your SO with a date night or weekend away. If possible, take a vacation! This I highly recommend. IVF is stressful. It's nice to have something to take your mind off of and relax prior to. Good luck!
