As I continue on my journey post IF, some of my girlfriends that are still struggling are constantly on my mind. These girls are still trying so hard to achieve their dreams of having a baby - something that I feel like I was just doing almost yesterday. It's still so fresh in my mind.
Two of my local friends are cycling again now - one just did a natural IUI cycle this week, and is now in that dreaded two week wait. The other is going to start stimming for her 2nd IVF in another week or two. I'm hoping so hard that it works for them - I can't stop thinking about them and hoping that they pull through this time. The unknown is just so hard.
My other cyber friend from the BBC is in the midst of beta hell - she's had two betas that were really low and goes back for her 3rd today - uuuuggggghhhhhh, what a nightmare she is in. I can feel her pain. It's just such a tough place to be. And she's already had FOUR losses! She's been through this four times already - this is her 5th time. No wonder she's so cynical and non-enthusiastic. She's learned the hard way - too many times. Nobody should have to do that even once, much less 5 times now. Hopefully the ultimate reward is coming soon for her. She deserves it, more than anyone I know.
Supporting an IF friend after going through it yourself is almost as heartbreaking as going through it yourself. You hope so hard for each other - and can't stand to see the pain and sadness when it's a failure. But as I always say, it's sometimes easier to be the one going through it than the friends on the outside trying to help someone through. Something takes over inside when it's you that's dealing with it - and you get through....somehow. For now, lets just hope that my girls come through this time and those miracles that they are waiting for are ready to bless them. Now wouldn't that be the best year ever!
