Ok… deep breath- here it goes. I took a giant step outside my comfort zone doing this blog. I usually am a private person. Yeah- I know what you’re thinking. How private could I be if I’m sharing something so personal as infertility. There are several reasons why I started this. One- is that when I first started going through this process, I looked for first person accounts of this process. There is nothing worse than trying to get information about this topic and getting nothing but a cold, clinical picture of the medical process of this whole thing. No information about how this could be mentally traumatic, exhausting and humiliating.
Second, I started this blog for a more selfish reason… so I can avoid talking out loud about this whole ordeal. For whatever reason, call it the hormones or plain emotions or whatever- I start crying, getting mad or upset about the journey. This is just a way for me to share what is going on with me without having to explain it in words. I don’t ever want people to feel sorry for me reading this- but I thought it would just be easier than the questions I get about how this whole ordeal is going.
Here is how my whole journey started. I have been married to my wonderful husband for a year and a half. We got married June 2nd 2018. I knew in the beginning that I had a problem since I had abnormal periods. They were so irregular that I could never tell when I would get them so we started trying early. We have been in actual treatments since September though. Although we are already three cycles in, I feel as if this has lasted forever. There are so many things that are hard in this process but here is one I’ll mention right now: There is no person to tell you when this will all be over. No finish line to cross, no guarantee that all these treatments will work. I think that is one of the hardest things.
