I just wanted to pop in with a huge THANKS for all your comments on my last post. I'm embarassed reading it - what a wuss! :) No, I know that everyone has days like that and I need to give myself permission to have one myself. I've kind of needed a few days off to lick my wounds. In the meantime I have been woefully absent from blogland and I apologize for that. Please don't take that to mean that your comments haven't been a god-send to me. Each one is llike a virtual hug and it makes me a little more whole with each one.
THANKS!

I Am 1 In 6Infertility. No one thinks it will happen to them. In reality, fertility - something we take for granted - is a miraculously coordinated orchestra of hormones and timing. In couples suffering from infertility (IF) a part (or parts) of the orchestra are not playing in key. Just one wrong note makes the seemingly simple task of procreation extremely difficult. This is our journey from IF to baby.Categories

Awww, Paige -- don't feel embarrassed!!! You have nothing to be embarrassed about, REALLY.
Besides, if I get a BFN for this FET *I* will be the one posting huge pity party posts on MY blog!!! So, we all understand. You are in my thoughts -- take care of yourself, Nilla Re: Thanks

Don't feel bad about the way you feel, on top of everything else! I think our mental state is a function of how hard we've been ttc and failing. For instance, here's a map of my sanity:
yr 0-1: scared, but happy/eager yr 1-1.5: getting impatient tinged with worry and a splash of jealousy over other people pg's yr 1.5-2: Serious worry, spiraling down into sobs on a regular basis. Beginning of a deep depression yr 2-2.5: Rampant avoidance of ANYTHING pg related due to impending hysterical breakdown at the drop of a diaper pin. Bring on the Xanax. And the intense anger at the injustice of it all yr 2.5-3: Emotional hurricane starts to subside into predictable cycles that hover around that time of the month. Rational thought possible, but only on the "good days". yr 3 and on... I got a taste of normalcy and despite recurring fits and breakdowns over the more poignant reminders that we all know and love, I'm getting a handle on this. I'll be in my first IVF in october--we'll see if that emotional hurricane revisits me. The point of my posts? Besides the impending IVF, I have had one IUI. Nothing compared many of my fellow crusaders. i feel this way because I do. And so should you. This IF stuff sucks, bar none. I wish you much, much luck and peace on your journey.... Re: Thanks

Don't be sorry - don't ever be sorry. It's your blog and that's exactly what you need it for sometimes. I know I've had my share of pity posts as well. Hope you're feeling better now. Take care.

That is why we are all here- to pick each other up when we can't do it ourselves. Trust me- we all have bad days. I learned last cycle that the meds bring out the drama queen in me-- nice, never saw that side before-- and I am doing it all again. I could not do it without everyone helping.

Thinking of you. |
