It's amazing how slowly days pass when you're waiting for your period (or hopefully- the lack thereof). I'm in last part of the dreadful 2 week wait. And I can't help but let myself fall into that silly hopeful mode again. I've never, ever believed I was pregnant from any other cycle (especially the one where I was actually pregnant). Not the clomid, or the IUI, or post-surgery. Until now. Now I believe that I am. And it's not because I'm having any justifiable reason to think so, it's just that I can't imagine going any longer without being pregnant again.
I miss it so much. And it only gets tougher every month that goes by that I come to terms with the fact that my belly won't get bigger (except from holiday eating) and that we won't be preparing a nursery and that I will be returning for empty uterus ultrasounds if I choose more treatment. I miss the phone calls and e-mails and cards telling us congratulations and seeing how I'm feeling. I miss the way Aaron would love on my tummy, even though our baby was tiny. I even miss the nausea and weird cravings and overwhelming fatigue.
So, I'm just praying and hoping and dreaming that maybe I'd be lucky enough to get pregnant again this quickly. It's hard to imagine waiting another 18 months for a pregnancy. Of course, I never knew we'd go this long and through this much. And see everyone around us (even infertile friends) have babies who are now having birthdays. But maybe it's our month...
* Side note: I realized that one part of me thinks like this previous post. And then there's the other side of me saying, "are we still talking about the miscarriage? Are you still belly-aching over your infertility? I bet people are tired of hearing you complain." But then the sensitive side wins over and you get posts like these... Sorry.

ReplyDeleteHey I read your side note, and from my perspective I love and hate it. I love it that there is someone out there that feels similar to me, but, I Hate it because you feel this way. It's tough, but be assured, you are not alone.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is about getting your feelings out there - if people don't like it they don't have to read it!! Given the number of followers you have, I think people enjoy it. Miss you both - I'll keep praying this is your month!!
ReplyDeleteI will keep you in my prayers and wishing you the best of luck in this cycle! I am sending you tons of good and happy thoughts that you will see that positive this month!!
ReplyDeleteOf course you are going to still be thinking and talking about your miscarriage. It is a hugely emotional thing that is a part of you and definitely a part of dealing with IF. Wishing a BFP for you this month!
ReplyDeleteNever feel bad for sharing your feelings. You need a support system. We are that. I am hoping that this month you get your wish! I pray for a baby coming your way! Keep blogging Amber!
ReplyDeleteI've been out of town and haven't had computer access. One of the first things I thought when I sat down to catch up on emails and stuff was I better check on Amber. So you let which ever side of Amber feels like blogging, blog on! We read this because we love you and want to know how you are doing! Miss you and hoping we can see you guys at Christmas?
