Having a difficult day

So this blog is supposed to be about my journey with infertility...well guess what? Infertility sucks! It truly sucks. I've been making such an effort to not let it get to me the past couple of weeks. Ethan turned 6 yesterday though, wow. My baby is 6. I always thought at this point in life, he would be playing with a little brother or little sister by now. And he's not. It's just been a really hard thing to come to terms with. So I just needed to vent a little bit. Here's hoping there is some sort of good news to share soon. Counting down the days to my RE appointment in November...

A step in the right direction!

Well, we are starting to see some results! This mama was so happy to see that her period had started on it's own this morning. First one to start on it's own since before I was pregnant with Ethan! I had an appointment scheduled for next Wednesday, the 12th, but the nurse pushed that appointment back some since I'm starting on the Clomid again tomorrow. So my body is starting to sort itself out somewhat. This has been an incredible day! I'm even loving the cramps! Crazy, right?!?! Here is hoping to a +OPK this cycle and a possible baby. Send prayers, please!

An amazing read...

I always have a hard time explaining to my husband how I feel about the whole infertility thing. And I know he doesn't understand because he's a man and I don't fault him for that in anyway. My sister just sent me a blog post that she had found and read...I'm still crying. But I wanted to share with anyone else who is having the same issues as I am. It expresses my feelings so very well. I, however, haven't gotten to the point of realizing that there are so many of us out there. I'm still stuck on the thinking it's my fault and being mad at myself. Maybe this will help me though. I think I will hold this dear to my heart and read back over it when I'm having an extremely rough day. Thank you, Becca, for sending this to me.
