@ADJ: I did start acupuncture Tuesday. She wants me to come back Friday before my follicle study, and Monday or Tuesday immediately following my IUI. I’m not sure I feel any different, but it’s very expensive – so I think I’ll give it 100% try this month & maybe next – but after that I don’t see spending $500 a month on being a pincushion!
@ Hopeful: The motion’s actually tomorrow, still not sure what we’ll find out if anything… Followed by an acupuncture appt & follicle scan – busy day!
So my husband and I are close to 4 couples – they were the only invites to our destination wedding a few years ago, they were there for us after the accident… Through good times & bad the 10 of us are as close as friends can be... Two of the girls were pregnant with me last time, and the other two are planning on joining me this time… But since “this time” is taking longer than I expected, I kind of knew this was coming
We went to one of their houses last night for dinner, and they told us they were expecting. I’ve suspected for weeks, but I wasn’t going to call her out on it – she knows all the details of our infertility – so she’s been super stressed about how to tell me and agonizing for the past few weeks. She’s 11 weeks along, due April 10th. I’m really happy for her, but sad to not be on the same timeline with her as we had both hoped. She got pregnant their first month trying, 3rd kid – all the same story – so I’m envious of that. So I’m a whole mixed bag of emotions today… I love her and I’m happy for her and she’s one of my closest friends… But I’m sad for me, and jealous, which is not a feeling I’m proud of – but it is what it is. She almost broke down in tears before I did last night she was so nervous to share her news. I told her that infertility is a medical condition, not a state of mind – she shouldn’t feel bad that she got pregnant and I haven’t yet – I know these are the socially correct feelings – but deep down it still sucks… And it’s not as if only one of us was “allowed” to get pregnant and she took it from me… So my mixed emotions have left me feeling not very optimistic for this month – and I should O Sunday – so we’ll see where I land at the end of the month!
