On a side note AF decided to show up today. I am happy it came today so it will not be heavy over the weekend. She was three days late this month and since I am infertile I knew I was not pregnant but it’s crazy how in the back of my mind I had a little hope for that miracle baby. You know the one…I am sure you hear the same stories I do on how your friends – mothers – sisters - cousin tried ART for years and when they finally stopped and forgot about trying to have a baby they got pregnant. I always roll my eyes at these tall tales and think it’s funny that some people actually believe that stopping trying will change my husband’s sperm. But at the same time I had a little bit of hope that would be my story this month. Maybe next month!
I think as infertiles, ANYTIME AF is late, we always have that glimmer of hope in the back of our heads that maybe this is it?!! I continue to hope and pray for you too!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th! I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
I still get all, "What if I'm pregnant?" when AF is late. I know that's silly, and I hate that I do it, but I can't help myself. It's just an instant reaction. I'm glad she showed now so she doesn't ruin your holiday weekend. Have a great one!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand. If I am even a day late, the crazy "what ifs" creep in my mind. And, then I am quickly jolted back into reality....cause I know it is not possible...like ever...naturally. I hate it when I hear the, oh, just stop trying and you will get pregnant stories. I quickly respond with, really?!?!?! With blocked tubes, fibroids, endo, cysts and all the other stuff?? They shut up!
ReplyDeleteHave a great 4th of July! I look forward to hearing more about your journey.
happy 4th!!
ReplyDeletere: therapy. she honestly felt like an old friend who was there to just support ME 100%. i got lucky with this therapist, bc one of the other girls told me a lot about her and she's had her own fertility woes and ended up adopting. so i didn't feel like she was full of $hit or didn't understand me as a result. it was super easy for me to open up to her and i guess the waterworks started right away bc you this person is there to help you and she won't judge, and it just felt nice. goodluck if you decide to go that route. do you read glum bunny's blog (she's on my blog roll). last week, she had a post on how to find a therapist, which is super helpful :o)
I hear yah....I get that all the time even with our 4 miscarriages our millions of issues...and my Immune system if relaxing would fix all that then sign me up:) Anyway have a good 4rth
