I think I'm making progress

I've had a rough week. I finally was able to talk with my friend who is pregnant. Although, it was hard to do, I'm glad I did. It shows progress for me. She's going through a lot with this pregnancy. She was hospitalized because she couldn't eat anything. She lost 21lbs. I knew she was sick but I would check on her through text messages only. Wednesday night, I called her. We talked about everything. She understands my issue with infertility. She keeps telling me it's going to happen and she can't wait until I get pregnant. I can't wait either. Other people have more hope, and faith than I do. Even my doctor. Lol.
I picked my niece and nephew up from the bus stop today. As we was walking to the house, I started to picture myself picking my own kids up from the bus, asking them about their school day, asking them if they have homework, thinking about what I'm going to make for dinner, etc. I really can't wait until I have kids. It's going to be wonderful. Its been a little over a month since I found out I am infertile and have to do IVF. Some days it is harder to cope. My emotions are all over the place. I think it's time to start making plans towards getting IVF. I can't stay sad, and depressed forever. Alright IF, it's me and you. The gloves are coming off. P.S My friend doesn't know yet, but I'm going to throw her a baby shower. Posted on 10/05/12, 05:24 pm |

I am so proud of you for making such big strides in your fight with IF! You did the right thing by calling your friend and you should be so proud of yourself!
I just know you will knock IF out!! Best of luck!! :)

I need to reread this post so many times, and hopefully I get to where you are soon! I'm still being kind of a selfish friend...I still haven't called my friend who announced last month, and although we comment and stuff to each other on FB, I deliberately hide anything to do with her pregnancy. I'm just...not ready. I know it'll turn negative right now. Maybe soon. I have to just hope I'm not doing damage. I know that, as a psychologist, she knows what I'm feeling and isn't pushing the issue. Hopefully, I'll get to where you are soon!

Thank you. I want to be able to share in others joy even though I will struggle. When I become pregnant, I want to be able to call her or anybody for that matter and talk to them. I would want them to share in my joy. It helps a lot that she understands my fight and she's rooting for me.
My best friend who is stationed in Japan right now is rooting for me also. I talk to her everyday, if I didn't, I would go all the way KARAZY! It feels good to know I have support outside of my good friends on DS. If it wasn't for this site, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I've learned so much from reading all of these stories. The women on here inspire me and I have so much respect for them. I never thought I would be a part of this world. I guess everything happens for a reason.

I am glad to hear you are doing better, and thats the hard thing to do to move past our struggles as it consumes our every day lives literally. Sometimes just maknig that extra effort makes a world of difference instead of shutting yourself off to everyone else. I think your friend will absolutely love the baby shower and even thoguh it will be tough for various reasons focus on the the bright aspects and it will go by faster than you are expecting :)
