...In the form of good old faithful "auntie flow." (That's code for I got me period yesterday.) No pregnancy. I was rather devastated yesterday, as everything was looking so hopeful. The nurse had called in the middle of the week explaining how great the procedure went and that she was pretty positive that it would work.
The procedure itself wasn't very painful... but that night I woke up at 3am and could not fall back asleep due to the cramping. For the next week I was crampy (varied from really bad to manageable) and exhausted... probably due to the hormones/new procedure. I'm not sure what we will do from here... It took quite a bit out of me last time, so we'll see. We appreciate all the prayers and support. We are doing our best to stay hopeful in our journey, which ever direction that may be.
It's scary sharing this journey with everyone, and some responses are unintentionally disheartening. (Infertility is a hard topic and isn't openly talked about much.) But we love our friends. We're grateful for your support. And we especially love supportive, funny, and kind messages encouraging us on our journey :)
P.S. if you are the fairy that weeded my yard yesterday please tell me so i can thank you... it was a nice surprise when I came home. If no one will claim it, I'm going to say my mama did it :)
Bless your heart! Prayer coming your way! :) And I hope whoever weeded your garden doesn't tell you because I think it more fun to have had your mommy do it!~
ReplyDeleteLove you HilyJane. Prayers lifted up. Keep shining your radient light!!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you. Xo
ReplyDeleteYou have a yard fairy! How wonderful! I want a dish fairy....
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note, I can remember HATING Aunt Flo.... everytime she came it was really disheartening. You're right, it's not talked about often and sometimes people don't know exactly what to say. I should fwd you an article in a MOPs newsletter from last year written by our coordinator. You'd love it. If I find the article I'll shoot it your way... Keeping you and Caleb in my thoughts and prayers as you continue on this journey :)
Love you Hil.
Love you guys. Sorry for the sadness. Praying for your hearts to trust in the midst of this trial.
