Just got back from the doctors (thank goodness I work at a place that is flexible with my doctors appointments!), and I have 3 mature follicles. Kind of scary because if everything works the way it's supposed to...we could be looking at triplets. There's no use in getting excited or nervous about it though because things rarely do what they are supposed to anyway! I will find out more when they call with my bloodwork results.
I have decided that ttc is both a personal and monumental thing. But so many people go through difficulties, and yet it is hush, hush. Why shouldn't people know how hard, frustrating, surprising, exciting, expensive and wonderful it is to go through this journey? At times it feels like you are the only one on this little island of turmoil. I want to talk to people about it! I want to tell people about the process and the wonderfully terrifying things that happen during this (sometimes extremely LONG) journey! I wish people would be more open to sharing their experiences and feelings.
When we first started out, I g..gled everything I could. I was so scared! It helped when I found a support group for ttc. But, it wasn't enough! I wanted to tell my family everything we were going through, but it's tough for them to understand. DH has been wonderful through the whole thing, but as many men know......womens bodies are a pain in the you know what! It is hard for them to understand everything that is going on. But, my DH is a wonderful, supportive, spectacular person who sits with me during the tough parts...and celebrates with the good!
It just feels better to write everything down.....even if no one but me reads it!
