The Thing Is




This is the thing with infertility.  Every decision that you make is a deliberate, one-foot- in-front-of-the-other step towards the future.  It is being totally aware that each and every decision is a choice to change your life.

I am missing my husband and today he feels further away than most.  This is the part of the process I like the least.  The feeling of separation that is there, even if he were next to me holding my hand because it's not as it should be.

But today is a good day.  One filled with promise and anticipation and the possibility of new life and love.  I have butterflies in my stomach.  I feel a bit like a girl with a secret that can't help but share.

I'm not sure how I will handle this going forward, I am on self imposed shaky ground in my desire to be open about the process.  Please forgive me if I don't say anything about the outcome either way-for different reasons I may be quiet.

If you think of me today will you say a prayer?

Yes, praying for you. Definitely!
Thanks for being so open about the process. I appreciate it, for one!
You're not alone with all the infertility treatment ups and downs. I know what you mean about that. I'll be in your shoes-hopefully soon-with an IUI in a few months, (my first) so it's nice hearing from someone who's been through it.
I know what you mean about it being so exciting! I remember feeling that way when they did our IVF transfer. I still get that feeling vicariously every time I'm in the waiting room and I hear someone call, "Doctor So and So to the procedure room." I think, this could be their day!!
And this just could be yours... :)

Thanks Ladies,
Yesterdays treatment was ok but our counts were unfortunately low so our chances for success are much lower than anticipated. Keeping a positive attitude though-thanks for all the prayers! Keep them coming!
