….Just when I thought it wasn’t possible.
I still don’t feel I have hit rock bottom, solely because somewhere in me I still have coping skills. Because I know my husband loves me, and because I have friends and family who care about me. I know the dogs need me. And even though I hate my job, they’d notice if I stopped showing up. I do exist, I am real, I do have a purpose, I do need to be here.
I just need to keep telling myself these things.
I think I’m ready for medication. I’ve been sacrificing my mental health for the sake of a baby that still doesn’t exist. I don’t have a doctor and I don’t particularly want to see one but I am at the end of my rope here. I am so exhausted and I am tired of crying all the time.
We didn’t get good news this week at the doctor. It’s all related to sperm/semen. I am beyond frustrated that our doctor dismissed the initial data. he should have gotten us into looking at that sooner. They had no problem taking my blood and giving me hormones, but the problem wasn’t with my body.
I hate that it’s him and not me, because I can’t control it. I can’t do anything.
It’s looking like surgery to remove a varicose vein.
So we stall again. They cancelled my IUI today. Four blood draws, one prescription that makes me cry and have lightening headaches and hot flashes…all for nothing. They called me about 45 minutes before I was supposed to go. The sperm count was next to nothing.
Maybe now someone will listen.
In the meantime, I got over my blood draw phobia. I still need to lie down, but I went four days in a row!
