Well, that was a lie.
Back story:
The past few months I've been taking a "break" from TTC (trying to conceive). My "break" has consisted of "relaxing" (like everyone says I need to do) and not tracking when im ovulating. Well this past month I decided to pull the lovely little plastic sticks out again.
Perfect!
We knew exactly when I was ovulating. Fool proof, yeah?
Then it was time for the ever dreaded two week wait!
*** Two weeks pass***
BAM! Nothin but Aunt Flow rearing her ugly head. Again.
:(
Just like so many other months I thought it was going to be the perfect month.
Oh how wrong I always seem to be.
Positive spin: At least I didn't have to pay for yet another pregnancy test :D Those things have totally put a dent in Mike's wallet. o_O
So yeah I had a pretty roller coaster week, it wasn't one of those fun roller coasters. It was the kind that makes you lose your breath, fills you with anxiety, and makes you so scared and mad you cry constantly at basically anything.
Beautiful Roller Coaster
Scary Roller Coaster
Here's a tip, (no matter how sincere your intentions are) the "just relax, it'll happen" statement to a couple struggling with infertility, is neither helpful nor constructive.
Yes stress isn't good for an aspiring mother, it also isn't good for a terminally ill person. Relaxing doesn't create a baby, just like relaxing doesn't cure diseases.
Since I started this blog I have had a few people come out of the wood works (weirdest saying) that have struggled with infertility and are struggling with it. I want this to be a place where aspiring mothers and fathers can feel understood.
Infertility is a lonely thing, and is very misunderstood by many people.
I hope to bring understanding.
