Just a little note that I’m going to talk about my uterus for a sec. Please skip ahead to the links if you don’t care to know!
Guys, this week was the most stressful week of my life and I’m not being overly dramatic. Perhaps I’ll share about it more in the future, but fertility testing is NO joke. I’ve been so full of anxiety this week that I threw up 3 separate mornings, I’ve had terrible sleep because I wake up every few hours panicking and then can’t fall back to sleep, I lost weight because I can’t eat when I’m this nervous and my heart rate has been so high that I’m exhausted by 8pm and have to go to bed. What I’m so hyped up about are the tests they are giving me. They do NOT feel pleasant at all and they all happened to be scheduled this week because of the start of my cycle. It really fucking sucks. My heart goes out to all the women who have to go through things like this because, wow, it’s just A LOT to deal with when you are already stressed out about trying to conceive. But I do have to say that every nurse and doctor I’ve dealt with, or rather, who have had to deal with crazy emotional me this week (so probably 10 people now), have been so amazingly kind and nice to me through all this that I am so so grateful.
Having said that, if anyone wants to talk about their experience with fertility testing, please email me! I’d love to have someone to talk to about this stuff because it just feels good to get it out with someone who understands. Oh yea, and Happy Valentine’s day! What a better way to celebrate than to torture your cervix with with a strange medical device!
Okay, it’s safe now! On with the links:
