Mac- Can we go to the mall tomorrow?
PC- Sure.
Mac- Can we first get French Toast Sticks from Burger King? And then be on our way by 11 a.m. and arrive at the mall by 12 p.m.? And go by the bookstore before we leave? And get one of those good cookies to bring home? (Thought a visual would be appropriate here so you can see why it's an important part of the plan).
PC- Sounds good. As long as we can go to the bike store.
Mac- Deal.
Maybe this is why my infertility path so far has not caused me to go into a major crisis mindset. Not that it hasn't contributed to some intense emotional and stressful moments! It's just that every doctor has a plan. These plans give me a feeling of security and purpose... the OB/GYN who runs this or that test and prescribes this or that drug, the RE who tells me when to do this or that injection and when to show up for the IUI, the nutritionist who has the right kind of supplement and diet... they all have a plan. The problem is obvious- what happens when you've tried every plan and still do not have the desired results? Does anyone ever have a plan for that?PC- Sure.
