A few clarifications:
I know that this isn’t the end of the road, I know that we’re only in our 12th month of trying, I know that I can still conceive naturally. Today I am upset though, and I want to cry, and feel sorry for myself. And I feel better to have a plan. Also, moving on to other options after 2 months of injectables (if it comes to that) isn’t because we think it means that if it doesn’t work by then it will never work, but that we have to look at it as a sort of cost/benefit sort of thing. At some point we have to quit blowing money every month. I also realize that it takes many women years and years. I also realize that many don’t get seen until after a year point, and here I am already at 5 months with the RE. Sure, maybe I’m being impatient and anxious, but it’s not like I’m 2 years old and throwing a temper tantrum because I don’t have a certain toy yet.

Laura-
ReplyDeleteI don't know who you had a conversation with but I think that you are doing the exact right thing for you and Jason and that you don't have to do what "other people" do. I know there are people who try for 10 years and finally get pregnant. But I think what you are saying, is that right now, that path is not for you. Great! I am so excited that you and Jason have talked everything through and made a plan. And if in a few months, you want to change your plan, then great. IT'S YOUR PLAN! I don't find you too anxious or temper-tantrumy at all!
Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and hoping and praying. I am also so proud to be your friend. You are an amazing woman!
