My not so welcomed monthly visitor came today. On the outside I look unbothered (to a degree), while on the inside I feel like I need to climb to the top of a mountain and scream of the top of my lungs. My thoughts are screaming at me and my soul is crying. That is the best way to describe it!
I know my husband can feel my pain thru my short temper and me pushing him away with words. I know a hug would feel nice, but I know the tears will push thru and not stop for days if I feel his warm comfort, a voice telling me; "Everything will be OK."
With a husband who is home about 4 months out of the year and our timing is always off, with him having been home for a month now I was really hoping for another pregnancy. But with a sketchy ovulation cycle I knew the chance to get pregnant this month was slim. I still has a very small hope growing inside my heart.
I hugged my little boy today and told him he was my little miracle without even knowing how. I took my first pregnancy for granted and are now left to wonder if I will ever experience it again.
After we had to reschedule our appointment at the fertility doctor we are now a week away from a hope of having more children. My heart just feels like a piece is missing, and the only way to fill that void is with a growing family.
Tonight I feel soo lonely in my world of infertility. Even with my dear husband at home just 50 ft away in the other room.
I am a 35 year old woman who is trying to navigate thru this big stormy ocean we call infertility. I have a 5 year old son, and been thru 4 miscarriages since with the explanation being MTHFR Heterozygous A1298C and PCOS. On top of these lovely reproductive challenges, I have a husband who is a commercial diver and gone the better part of the year. Timing is an issue so we have started working with Shady Grove Fertility Reproductive Center to try to achieve our dream of becoming a family of 4.

I feel a dagger in my back...
My appointment is getting close and closer. My nerves are on the edge after 2 cycles of no ovulation, and knowing there is a good chance of my husband going back offshore any day. He might not even be home for our consult and deposit his part of the IUI process.
I got a text from a "friend" a few minutes ago where she said she was 3 months pregnant. I have secretly been telling myself that I will be pregnant before our only single friend left gets married and starts popping out babies. So needless to say I am a little jealous, mad, and very sad. The dagger that was placed in my back by myself today will stay there for a while.
I am only a few more days away from turning 35 ( the age whom a woman looses her eggs, vag go dry and it is all over) so I am not happy about my little sticky situation. I have blamed myself, God, my husband... So who is next? The one young childless friend I had left? I think so... At least for tonight.
