Old Faithful has erupted...and the waiting begins again.

So, I have anxiously been awaiting the usually dreaded period.  Because it means Day 1 and go time.  I started having some spotting last Thursday.  It was really light and I think it is the only time in my life I was trying to convince my girlie parts to put out some more so I could call the clinic and start the cycle.  Needless to say, my girlie parts would not listen and follow directions.  I called the clinic anyway (always err on the side of caution) and they told me to wait for a "good flow" day.  Ew.  So I waited and waited and waited. I have never actually wanted my period before so this was a very confusing and stressful time.
And then it happened yesterday morning. And boy, did it happen.  The clinic wasn't kidding when they said it would be a heavy period.  I am at the point of just shoving an elephant sized piece of cotton or an entire towel in there.  Wowsers!  Old Faithful has erupted and I am now praying for it to stop. lol
Enough grossness- so I called and told the clinic I had started.  I put a box of patches in my purse and was all ready for the call back to get started.  And then some little issues came up that need to be taken care of before this can proceed.  So it looks like the transfer is getting pushed back to the end of August, early September.  The waiting game begins again.  I was disappointed at first because everything seemed to be working out so perfectly and I was all excited to do the transfer the first part of August.  But the more I thought about it, the more I worried that it was all working out too perfectly.  That made me worry that maybe I was trying to rush something that needs a bit more time.  I believe the universe has a balance and my time is a few weeks more.  So now I am totally okay with waiting.  It also gives my body a chance to recover and maybe I can lose a few more of these "mock cycle" pounds that I gained.  It has also been unbearibly hot here so it means my body doesn't have to go through meds until the weather cools a bit.  Definitely a blessing in disguise.
I have started looking around on the internet for other blogs about this kind of stuff.  Some people out there are very odd and doing it for all the wrong reasons.  They like the money or feel like they are God.  Those thoughts are scary and give this amazing experience a bad name.  There are so many reasons for anyone to consider doing this, and they should hold onto those positive and fulfilling feelings instead.  That is what I have been doing and it has really given me a great purpose.  I am thankful to be doing this to help someone else and also to fill some needed gaps within me.  The best part is I have met some amazing people and can't wait to add to that list.  My experience thus far has been so pleasant and I don't have anything negative to report.  :)
