I.Like.LOVE.Fall. Don't get me wrong. I like summer, too. I love being able to spend time with my husband, our dogs, and our families and friends, as well as travel. But weather wise, fall is by far my favorite. I love sitting at Friday night football games in my jeans and hoody, sipping hot chocolate, hanging out with our favorite people around the campfire, hunting season, and pumpkins. And corn stalks. And Halloween candy. Oh, and back to school. Not to mention, it is the season leading up to my favorite time of year.. the holidays! Ahh, can you tell I am excited? I have been a Fall-pinning Pinterest whore for almost two weeks now!
Anyway, now to the main reason for my post. Fed-Ex stopped by our house today! Why is this so exciting you ask? Because they dropped off my next round of injections! *Insert cartwheels and pom poms here.. and maybe a toe-touch or two. Disclaimer - I was never a cheerleader*
The box was drastically smaller than the box that housed my fresh cycle meds. But none the less, this guy was filled with joyful things! Never EVER in my life would I have ever dreamt I would be excited to receive long syringes (that will eventually make their way into my bum muscle) and hormones in the mail. Ahh, the life of an infertile! But today, I was excited!
That Sharps container sure will spruce up my countertops!
All joking aside, this is huge. This means we are one step closer to our next transfer and that we are well into our frozen cycle. My feelings and emotions are so much different this time around. I feel more at peace with everything. I know this cycle will go however God wants it to go and that I will have no control. I am much more relaxed and my anxiety levels are drastically lower. Now, ask me how I feel during the 2ww that will follow this transfer, and my relaxation and anxiety levels may will be very different. But, as of now, I am ready. Very ready. I am.. excited!
I am still not sure how we are going to handle the results of this cycle. Last time we told all. We were very open with our family, close friends, IF community, and blog followers. I'd like to do things similar this time, but not exactly the same. However, given the outcome of our last cycle, we will decide what is right for us at the time. We are pretty open about infertility struggles and cycles, but have not made it "Facebook official" yet. I haven't found it to be the right time. There are still some people that I am just not ready to have that discussion with. I know I will, in time. With most anyway. An IG friend posted this the other day, and I found it to be absolutely PERFECT.
"From the outside looking in, you can never understand it.
From the inside out looking out, you can never explain it."
So, so true. To my IF sisters.. keep fighting the fight. You are all rockstars in my mind! To those of you lucky enough (and I use the term "lucky" loosely.. I am thankful for this path we have had to travel because it has not only taught us so many things about ourselves and others, but brought us even closer to each other, has allowed me to connect with so many awesome new friends, and has made us appreciate each and every little thing we do have.) to not travel this path, we ask for your prayers, a sense of understanding, and no judgment on us or our individual situations. Prayer can do powerful things and we appreciate each and every one we get.
Happy Hump Day! Keep on Keeping On! (That one is for you, Andy!) Time to go in the house and get these two lazies back out in the yard!
