I haven't been posting much lately because I haven't had much to say. I am really trying not to let my life be consumed by fertility. When I let myself get too wrapped up in it, I get very devastated with each failed cycle. I spend too much time on forums and googling, comparing my situation to others. I worry and worry and worry and google and google and google and I have nothing to show for it. It does not help me feel better, and it definitely doesn't make me magically become pregnant. So I am trying to divert that time to better pursuits, whether it be reading, spending time with my husband, working out, sewing or spending time with God.
I have my CD 12 ultrasound on Friday to see how my follicles are doing. My prayer right now is that they will be growing strongly and safely, and that God will protect my ovaries from any and all endometriosis. Until then I am going to try to take it easy and not think about it too much.
My fingers are crossed for you that you will have some good follicles tomorrow! You just never know.....And try to avoid Dr. Google, it always seems like bad news?? I am trying to be hopeful about this IUI but it is hard.....don't want to get too let down, you know?
ReplyDeleteHoping that you have some beautiful follicles! And I agree. Dr. Google is bad news! I can't tell you the number of times I've totally sent myself into a tizzy based on a forum somewhere.... But then again, it is so hard NOT to get sucked in, right?
ReplyDeleteI think you have a great approach to things. I think trying to focus on your "better pursuits" is a fantastic way to get through a cycle :)
It is SO easy to get all caught up in infertility: statistics, drugs, herbs, acupuncture, yoga, cycles, on and on and on. Taking a step back allows you to enjoy LIFE and put IF on the backburner. It can destress you and revitalize you. I say good job- go for it! It makes jumping BACK into things a lot easier and more encouraging. Refocus, pray, and love. :)
