OH GOD.<\/p>\n
Oh god, oh god, oh god.<\/p>\n
What if I never get pregnant and have a baby? What then hey? Unthinkable. That can’t happen. It just can’t. I think I’d break if it did. My heart, my spirit.<\/p>\n
I’m 35 and you know what they say when a woman is 35. It’s all downhill from now on fertility wise.<\/p>\n
I can actually see me giving birth. I visualise it. I cradle my baby skin to skin when it’s still covered in gunk. My baby has a name. A better one for a boy than if it was a girl, but still.<\/p>\n
I wonder how many eggs I’ve got left. Should I get my AMH reading done again? I’ll ask the IVF clinic tomorrow about that.<\/p>\n
Why am I still bleeding? It’s two weeks today since the nightmare started. I’m fed up with seeing blood. Still got pains too. Is that ok?<\/p>\n
When we have IVF again late summer, how many embryos shall we put back? Because might I be more susceptible to another ectopic so therefore should we risk putting more than one in?<\/p>\n
Should I book some time off work when that next round happens? I mean, yes. I will. Especially in that first 9 days. Relaxation and happiness. Ok good. That’s the priority. Focus.<\/p>\n
Work will probably get fed up with me won’t they.<\/p>\n
Wonder what my HCG Level is now. We’ll find out tomorrow when I’m back at the hospital but I really hope it’s less than 5 so I can start taking vitamins and folic acid again. Because the chemo shot has probably zapped all the stores of goodness I worked on building for so long. Need to replenish that asap.<\/p>\n
What am I doing with my life? Career? What am I supposed to be besides a mother? Must work on that. I’ve got ideas, I’ve got passion and skills, need to take more action and widen my circles. Got to keep learning.<\/p>\n
I want to help people. People like me. That’s all I’m clear on. Something worthy. Something helpful.<\/p>\n
I’ll make a to do list in a minute.<\/p>\n
God I wish I’d started looking into my fertility in my twenties. If you’re in your twenties or even early thirties and you think you’ll want a family down the line, please consider that.<\/p>\n
I’ll defo get pregnant and have a baby. Of course I will. It’s just been a bit of an uphill climb to get there is all. Once it happens it will seem so easy.<\/p>\n
Just one baby. One little hand to hold. One little bum to clean.<\/p>\n
Is John really as confident about it as he says he is? Bless him. He isn’t worried at all. He thinks it’s a given. I hope he’s right.<\/p>\n
I’m going to try and be a brilliant mum. To raise a wonderful little friend. Caring, considerate, kind.<\/p>\n
John will be an awesome dad. I can’t let him down.<\/p>\n
How do people who get pregnant naturally DO THAT? It baffles me.<\/p>\n
What if I never can?<\/p>\n
Ok, it’s almost 8am. Enough.<\/p>\n
Time to meditate and calm the brain fuzz.<\/p>\n
