I decided this should be a separate post. One of my coworkers who knows I've dealt with infertility told me the other month, with much excitement, that she was planning to seek treatment to have a baby.
Her situation though is a little different--she's 35, and she's single. She's always wanted children, and she made up her mind that man or not, she wasn't going to wait around. She hasn't give up on finding a partner, but she's not going to wait around.
This chick is a lot of fun, and she's super independent. I'm psyched for her, and I hope things work out. It's all so different--her first two-week wait won't be after a hot couple of nights in the sack, but after a Clomid/IUI cycle.
Anyway, she's been giving me the play by play of her appointments, and her IUI is Monday. I told her to call me if she needs help with the trigger this weekend, as she hasn't had to stab herself yet. It's great to be in a place where I feel like I could do that--I think that if I were still trying, I'd probably think, "Ugh, she's going to get knocked up on her first cycle."
(Readers, why am I in such a good mood? It doesn't make for great blogging, does it?)
LOL, this made me almost giddy with happiness...both for your co-worker and you...and me! It's inspiring to think that we could just feel joy and excitement and happiness for someone who achieves pregnancy "easily" someday.
