Remembering What's Good in My Life |

I’ve been slacking in my posts lately, but I’ve been feeling a little down lately when it comes to the TTC stuff. Instead of being a Debbie Downer, and in the spirit of the holidays, I’ve decided to write about what I’m thankful for. I know this is about a week late but better late then never. My Hubs - He really is the best person I can think of to be going through this whole journey with, well, unless it were Christian Bale. I mean “trying” with Christian Bale might be pretty fun, but anyway, the Hubs is very supportive even when he doesn’t know what to say. He’ll just hug me and tell me it will be okay. The fact that he didn’t get upset used to kind of bother me, but now I realize that it is probably a good thing. If we were both stressed out and upset, we would go insane. I have also come to realize that the Hubs wants this just as much as I do, which means so much to me. He’s going to make such a good dad. My parents – I don’t think they really know what to say most of the time. I’ve never actually talked to my dad about this stuff, but I know they support us. When I told my mom that I was going to just get dropped off for my invasion, she insisted on taking me and staying with me. It actually took me awhile to come out to my folks that we were trying and that we were having trouble, and I’m glad we did. My sister – We live kind of far a part and don’t really see each other that much, but my sister is one of my best friends. She’s pregnant, too. Since she knows about our struggles she called me up to tell me before we got our results from all our tests. She didn’t want to drop it on us after we got our news, and I actually found out before our parents. I thought that was nice of her. It allowed me to process the news in my own way, and I really am super excited to have another niece or nephew. My friends – I have the best friends in the world. There are my friends at work, my friends I’ve known forever, my friends from college, and my friends online (shout out to my Twitter and Blog friends). Each of them brings something to my life, that I don’t think I could live without. Laughter, good talks, cupcakes, memories, and stories, they are all there with my friends. I can be myself and just be my stupid, dorky, crazy, clutzy self. Just this morning I almost fell in the lobby of my building, and the two friends I was with tried to save me. Luckily, I didn’t fall, and rather than being all embarrassed, they laughed with me. I really am a klutz, and I should have known better than wear slippery shoes when it’s raining outside. It’s that laughter that gets me through the tough TTC times, and not just the laughter about me almost falling. The stories and the advice and the willingness to listen, and of course the support is what makes my friends the best. The amazing support I’ve received from my online friends is amazing. I haven’t been on Twitter for very long, and I have found the most amazing women. I’ve never met them in real life, but they are amazing. And yes, I just used the word amazing four times in the last couple sentences. I can’t think of a better word. So even during my down times when I get all sad seeing someone else with a baby or getting that tinge of baby bump jealousy, I know that I have lots to be thankful for, and the above mentioned don’t even cover everything. The hard part is just remembering these things and relying on the things I’m thankful for and that are great in my life when AF shows up or when I think that we’ll never get to be parents.

... I think it's great to focus on the positivies. I totally can relate to feeling down with TTC..What you said about your husband is true. Mine is the same way and doesn't seem to get upset...it hurts me sometimes..but you made me see that maybe it's a good thing. If he was always questioning what was going on and being upset I probably would be more stressed. I hope you get to keep thikning about the good things..and enjoy the holidays. |

Hang in there.... Trying to stay positive when you've been TTC for some time is very difficult. I am constantly trying to focus on the positive when inside I am crushed when AF arrives. Thanks for sharing as it's such a great reminder of the wonderful people we have around us who love and support us. Happy Holidays! |

... Rebecca, I am on this journey too, but I am also doing acupuncture and herbs. They have really changed my body and my periods (I had/have endometroiosis - sort of like PCOS). I urge you to look into acupuncture (there is also Community Acupuncture which is available across the US and very affordable since that is what I am doing) Look up Community Acupuncture Network. Also please, please check out this company: (I don't work for them at all!) www.radiantwonder.com Their herbs have helped me tremendously, they are wonderful people...the owner got herself preggies at 45 and then started this company to help other women. They talk to me frequently, in helping me with the stress, tweaking the herb dosage...I know it will happen soon for me. Nicole |
