Dang it.

Just when I think I have coaxed my brain into believing "IVF is nothing but a bunch of needles, don't be a baby," I find myself crying in the kitchen, clinging to DH and sobbing into his sweater that I'm scared we will never have a child.

Nothing about this is simple. Or easy. Nothing.

Thanks for journeying along with us.

Oh you are so right. The emotions never stop coming, the highs and lows can be miserable. Glad you have DH and his cry-into-able-sweater.

Thanks for stopping by my blog- you will be at the Do Not Disturb stage very soon! Sending lots of hugs your way!

It's so hard. The hormones and the emotions. You can do it Faith. I know you can.

The emotions are hard and it is a roller coaster ride. The upside is that you'll have a family before you know it. :-)

The emotions will never stop coming...I know. We are getting ready for a FET and I am just as nervous and scared as before during the first 2 IVFs! One day!!! I keep telling myself...one day!!!

It is a real rollercoaster ride. Sometimes I think IVF is so tough, but other days it seems easier. Just take it one day at a time. You can do it!

Amber said...

I know exactly how you feel! I hope today you are feeling a little better. :-)

Big hugs to you - all those emotions are so normal but feel so terrible, don't they?

but yes, you will be a mother!

It's not an easy process, but as much as you can, remember Philippians 4.6:

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

During the crazy stressful points I had to repeat it to myself multiple times a day.

Hang in there. Praying for you.

~~HUGS~~

It's tough, but you've done it before and you can do it again. Hang in there with me, okay?

I'm on cycle 2, day 8 of stims and can relate to the crying-into-the sweater. It doesn't help that all of our emotions are amplified by the hormones.
