When I'm Feeling Blue

Day 11. I keep telling myself I have just a few more days to go of shots until egg retrieval. My stomach is definitely feeling very tender and blue with bruise marks around the injection areas.

Follow up consultation with the doctor is tomorrow. Hope the blood results from Day 8 come out alright. For some reason I am not so nervous going through the IVF treatment this time around. Perhaps because this is our second fresh cycle IVF and third embryo transfer attempt, both DH and I are a bit more relaxed and accepting of the whole process. 

I am trying to think positive and just go with the flow. No sense in worrying, no sense in pushing. It is all beyond my, no, our control. It took me a long way to get to this emotional state. I guess failure teaches one humility. And, boy, have I learned my lesson. 

The love and support I have been receiving from family and friends is also an important factor on my positivity. It turns out once I was more honest about my IVF treatment to the people who matter to me (instead of staying home and keeping everything to myself and in my head), the stronger my support network became. We definitely can't do this alone.
