On the horse again

I started the injections for our second IUI cycle today. I never thought I would get used to giving myself shots but now L and I have our routine down pat. I feel like I am back to square one. At the beginning of every cycle I worry that I might not respond to the medication, then I worry that I might not ovulate; will the worries never end?

Being that tomorrow is Thanksgiving, heres what I am thankful for:

  • My husband. He is the one that holds me up when I have my emotional breakdowns. He is the one that puts up with my moods, my outburst, and my hormones. He is the one that has a positive outlook on things. He is the shoulder I cry on. He is the one that carries the faith for us. He is my cheerleader when it comes time for shots. He makes me laugh when all I want to do is cry. I am one lucky woman to have a husband and a best friend like him. Love ya!
  • My family. My parents and my siblings. Their silent support is what pillows the falls. Although we dont talk about it much I know they are there if I need to talk. I know they are there if I need to cry. Love you all!
  • My In-laws. Right now we are going through a rough patch but they can be counted on to drop everything and come to your aid. I just hope that after this stressfull period end they will still like me even though I am not that nice of a person.
  • My job. I have a good job that I enjoy and like going to everyday. It helps that it pays the bills and gives me the time off I need that infertility treatments require.
  • My home. Its a nice and beautiful house. Although right now it is experiencing stress and sadness its strenght is in the laughter and happiness that can always be found there. The memories build in this home will go on forever.
  • End of School. I am thankful that in 2 weeks I will have completed my MBA. Even though it doesnt make me any smarter I am happy to be achieving this goal.
  • My DSLR camera. I love it and is my way of reliving a lot of stress. I hope to be able to dedicate it more time soon.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!
