If I ignore it, will IF go away?
I haven't written a journal entry in a long time. I guess I thought if I ignored it, infertility would just go away. It didn't. Today I made my appointment to meet with my RE. (Next week during Spring Break. Fun stuff.) Although I'm not positive that he'll recommend IVF, I think I'm done wasting money on IUI. I feel like if it was going to work, it would have done so by now.
I've been seeing several BFPs on the site lately. It gives me hope that I will get my chance to be a mommy someday. However, whenever I visit the site I feel the weight on my shoulders. The weight that disappears when I ignore the situation. I cry reading how everyone struggles, evil things people say and do, and feeling happy when their time finally comes. I'm such a strong person, but visiting DS makes me feel vulnerable to my own emotions. I can't ignore it anymore.
On a brighter note, I've been working hard to get back into shape. This whole IF process has been awful on my body. I was lazy. I had no energy. I just wanted to sit on the couch and watch TV. I started Weight Watchers with my mom a month ago. Last night, I weighed in 10 pounds lighter than when I started! The exercise and diet plan have been working. Finally, something I have complete control of. (IF definitely tends to take that feeling away.) I told my mom when I started that I was going to kick WW a*%. 10 pounds down. 10-15 pounds to go.
