- I'm not real good about blogging.
- I often think of this blog,
- But I so often just want to avoid thinking more about infertility.
- So, what's happened this month?
- I grew lots of tiny follicles,
- But none big enough to ever lead to ovulation.
- So, after 18 days of meds, the doctor cancelled this cycle.
- Now, I'm taking meds to help induce my period.
- Hopefully.
- (Not that I really want to have my period).
- Work has been very difficult and stressful this month.
- I feel like I have one patient
- (although I usually have several at a time)
- Because this one patient is in a life-or-death battle with herself.
- Caring so much for her is painful for me.
- But I'm not going to give up.
- And I'm so thankful for my team at work who provides the support I need.
- We went to an outdoor music festival last weekend,
- And it was wonderful.
- I miss it.
- I started seeing a chiropractor this week for neck pain and hand numbness.
- I kinda love my chiropractor,
- Even though my pain is not gone yet,
- I believe that she will help and it will go away.
- My car broke down this month,
- But it looks like it is going to be fixed soon.
- It will likely take all of our savings to pay for the repair.
- But buying a new car would have also taking all of our savings.
- I worry that we won't ever have children,
- That we will never be able to purchase a house,
- That we will never been able to pay off our debts.
- I'm glad we had some savings,
- But I'm sick that we will have to start over.
- I certainly didn't envision my life being like this.
Acorn: n. The fruit of an oak, consisting of a single-seeded, thick-walled nut set in a woody, cuplike base. Oak trees are generally large, compared to its seed, the acorn. Oak trees are strong and sturdy; acorns are blown in the wind and stolen by animals. I've experienced almost 12 years of infertility, and recently had a hysterectomy. My faith in God and my perspective on my life are being affected. I want to become like a strong oak tree, but right now, I'm just an acorn.
