Cleaning out the Closet...

I clearly listen to entirely too much Eminem. I’m not really cleaning out my closet like his song, but I did pretty much come out of the IF Closet this weekend. It wasn’t the end of the world after all.

 

This weekend was Mother’s Day. We all know how that feels. We see all the commercials on TV, hear them on the radio, see the ads… It sucks. Well this year Facebook took it to a whole new level of suckiness. There was this little campaign for everyone to post pictures of their Mom’s. This of course made me realize that not only am I NOT a Mom, but that my Mom ain’t so great. I have no pictures of us together. There were simply no happy times to snap those pictures. Ugh!

 

Well, something in me just snapped this time. So I posted about my struggle with IF in MY status while everyone else was going on & on about how awesome their children were to them for Mother’s Day. I must say, it was pretty liberating. I learned that not only do I have some very supportive friends & family out there, but that some of those friends are going through the very same struggle! Somehow just knowing that I wasn’t alone helped.

 

Sometimes things get so stacked up and filled up in our closets that we simply have to COME OUT & clean house!

A Month...

So It's been a month. A lot has happened. Good & Bad. We went on our very first cruise. It was amazing. I can't wait to go on many more. As some of you may remember, I had asked my Dr. for some Progesterone to hold off my AF until after the cruise. MISTAKE! That was awful. Break through bleeding, cramping, and mood swings. And that was just while I was on it! When I finally stopped and let it flow, I thought I was going to die. The pain was unreal. I will never do that again. While I may be sad, angry, all that other crap, about IF and not getting pregnant, I am very thankful that I have a system that works. I'm so very glad that cycle is past me now. I don't have a single nice thing to say about it! Whew!
