Tears, Cheers & Fears

......I've been a little lost for words.
Not entirely unusual for me. I am a quite person. I love peace. I enjoy an empty room.
I admit it, sometimes I even hide from visitors. We have the "ACME Home-Body Dream Gizmo" installed in our kitchen. It is a video monitor that beams a live picture of our front porch. It activates when someone rings the door bell. You can see who's there & then decide if you want to answer it! Sometimes my husband and I peer at the screen & whisper to each other "Shhh....pretend we're not home!" Naughty!

So, everything is fine, wonderfully fine. I've just been hiding out. Like a wombat. Only hairier.

I have been doing my usual blog reading. Daily. Sometimes twice a day. There is so much happening around IF circles. There always is. As typical there's good news & not-so-good news & downright awful news. It's a real lucky dip, isn't it?
Quite a few new announcements of pregnancy! Some surprise ones too! This brings me such a thrill!! It reminds me that "It Happens!" and it might happen to us too! It's always such a hopeful thing. Congratulations to all the new graduates!
Then there is the flipside. More announcements of failed cycles. Of spotting & cramping. Of heartbreak. I truly feel for anyone who has to face that.
Although it is all a part of this hideous IF rollercoaster, it must be crushing to learn that you are the one who has taken the backward step. My heart reaches out to those couples. Sometimes I wonder how I would cope in similar circumstances. Could I face the pain? Could I breathe through the disappointment? Would I ever stop crying? I suppose that's why I keep reading. To learn off those who have stepped before me. To read the words of someone who can say "That happened to me. Here is my story. These are my feelings. Here is my advice" It's always a powerful thing to have allies & support. So very critical when faced with these experiences.
And of course, there have been arrivals.
The long awaited birth of Grrl's son. And some serious nail-biting moments. I am still sweating on an update, as I'm sure you all are. I just want to hear that he's home & everything is wonderful. The arrival posts are always the best!

I am completely recovered from my surgery. I feel friggin' terrific. Go figure. The recipe to good health was so simple. Carefully remove 2 x chronicly infected fallopian tubes & stir. Bake madame on low heat for 6 days. Turn patient onto wire cake cooler. Serves 2. Enjoy! Yum!

Our IVF appointment is fast approaching. Less than 2 weeks now. I know I will have lots more to write about during that time.

Thank you for all the lovely comments left on my last post.
It was very healing to have such comforting messages. I really appreciated it.
Take care out there. All of you.

Glad to see you back, I've been missing your elegant writing. I totally empathise with hiding from visitors - I don't get the chance to do that but am famous for call screening!

Great to hear from you. I am going to get the tubes checked out - I just don't understand why they would be blocked. Glad to hear you feel fab. What was the cause of your blocked tubes?

I'm so glad you are feeling so good after your surgery! And I'm very jealous of your shwanky new camera!!

I loved this post, and many parts of it really hit home.

You are so right about the power of having allies and support while struggling with the ups and downs of IF. Especially the downs.

hey Mony,
were you like me and think that you might have lost a few lb's after the removal, of huge, fluid filled tubes? I didn't lose any weight... must have had something to do with the post operative chocolate and chips that I stuffed in my face.. good luck with your appt. MollyD
