I think I've blogged about it, but I'm going to my therapist once a month in preparation for our frozen embryo transfer which will happen early next year. I went to see her about two weeks ago and was busting at the seams to tell her about the new job. I'm not one to believe in fate and all that, but it seems that now, after a shitty few years, things finally seem to be falling into place. I got the promotion at work, and then I got offered the new job. I'm in my second week on the job and so far I'm really enjoying it. My manager and co-worker are both extremely nice and fun to work with.
But back to therapy. Since the main focus of our sessions is getting myself ready for the embryo transfer, she managed to bring everything back to that. If you recall, at my last session, we worked on making myself open to the transfer, instead of concentrating on the negatives and percentages, chance of success/failure. This time, we talked about my new job and how so many different insignificant things had to fall into place for me to get the offer. I had to be in a place where I had enough courage to even apply for the job. They posted the job at just the right time for me to see it, etc etc. It was the right thing at the right time. Then she said it's the same for the embryo transfer. Just like everything fell into place this time, things can fall into place again for the transfer. The last two IVFs didn't work, but there is no reason that the upcoming transfer won't. We did more EMDR surrounding this train of thought.
I left the appointment feeling great. She's like the validating parent that I never had growing up. She tells me I'm right and makes me feel good about myself. :) I wish I could carry a mini version of her in my purse all the time.

I need to see your therapist!! She sounds wonderful!!! I agree you have as good of a chance as anyone to have a successful FET. Plus I believe sometimes FETs are better because an embryo has to be really strong to make it to freeze. Although I have never had an FET because I have never had an embryo make it through the freezing process!
I'm so glad your therapist helped. I feel the same way with ours. We have been going together for all of our issues with all that we've been through. We haven't been in a few weeks and we're going tomorrow. I can't wait to tell him all that's been going on! :0)
She sounds awesome! I don't blame you for wanting a mini version to carry around! It must be such a nice feeling to have therapy sessions and know that it's working.
