On Disappointment

Disappointment is something I've really become all too familiar with. Every cycle starts with the hope that it will be the last, and the 15th was no exception. I was particularly excited this time around because the past two cycles I had an increased response to the medications- I ovulated, had an appropriately timed luteal phase etc, etc. Things that lots of women take for granted, and they'd only happened for me twice in 14 months. I thought I'd figured it out- the supplements, the water, the special glycemic diet, the exercise, the weight loss.

Nope. Today is CD24 and I haven't been able to confirm ovulation. I lie awake at night trying to figure out what I did wrong, what I did different from the two months prior. I don't have any answers. I doubt my doctor will, either. She'll just re-write the prescriptions and send me off to try again. And I'm really, really tired of trying.

Until next time,

Grace

  1. Sending love and hugs to you dear friend and sister. Whatever crazy plan is going on in the universe to get you the baby I know is coming to you, I hope it makes itself known $#%^ soon and makes all these trials seem like a distant memory. X
