Another day...

I woke up this morning not feeling any better, I am hoping as the day goes on I will feel better, I keep telling myself that This cycle failed move onto the next, but that is so hard, I think it is hard b/c the nurse told me it was a perfect cycle, so what went wrong? And will the next cycle be a failure too.

I am also having a problem with my Mom, she has always been my best friend and there for me but lately I feel like she does not get what I am going through and is judging my feelings. I told her I feel like a failure. She thinks I should just suck it up move on, be glad for Avery (which I am) and if it does not happen oh well, life goes on. While all this maybe true it is hard. I am surrounded by pregnant girls all day at my job and in my family. How can I not think about how much my body has failed me. Then I think about all the ladies who have been trying longer then me or with IVF and get sad for them too. It is not fair. I am at the point where I used to talk to my Mom all the time about this, b/c DH is laid back and thinks it will happen if it is meant to happen while she was my rock to lean on, I feel I can not lean anymore.

She is also the one who gives me my shots, since DH would pass out if he had to (no help there), I am thinking maybe I brought her too much into this situation and her giving me my shots has made her a part of this process and maybe I should stop doing that. I am thinking I have to figure out how to give myself the shots, which I think I could but they are in my butt, so that maybe a challenge. I do have a friend who would do it ( she is a MA), but she lives 30 mintues away, but if I can not do it myself maybe I will use her as a back up. Do you think I could do this myself, does anyone else give their shots in their butt themselves?

On a lighter note, I am taking DD to get her pictures taken at a new studio in our area. She has not had her pictured taken since Christmas and I try to do it again in the summer time. I am hoping she will allow me to curl her hair.

Sounds like we're sharing the same rain cloud. :(

If I were you, I would sit down with your mom and tell her how much you appreciate all she does for you. Giving you your shots, lending her ear when you need to talk and her shoulders for your tears to fall on. However, you have noticed that you can no longer vent to her with out her judging your feelings. Just let her know that sometimes you just need to talk - you're not looking for advice or opinions - you just need to let it out.

It seems like your relationship is solid enough to have that kind of talk. Relaxing, not worrying about it and going with the flow are not options when it comes to dealing with IF. Infertility is real - and some people just think that sweeping it under the rug makes it better. It doesn't, it only makes it worse.

Hopefully you two can have a heart to heart and she maybe learn that sometimes you just need to let it out with out being judged.

As for the shots - my H would pass out too if he had to shoot me in the butt. However, this is what we do. I get everything ready, he fills the suringe with the liguid and such - then he leaves the room and I stick myself in the butt - he then comes back in and pushes the plunger. It works - and we've been doing this for 7 cycles now.

Good luck honey. Thinking of you.
