While I'm on this emotional roller coaster, I need positive people around me who sprout positive affirmations and only say positive things. Even if they don't 100% believe it themselves.
The female members of my family, both of them, are incredibly supportive...my brothers don't not want to hear, but neither would ask or bring it up and my Dad still puts his fingers in his ears and goes lalalalalalala whenever anything IVF is brought up. They are not negative though and will be happy when I can finally tell them I'm pregnant.
All my friends are supportive, but there are some, who, say something inappropriate, without realizing it, after asking how I'm feeling and where in the IVF cycle I'm up to. Take, for instance, this week. Although I say I'm anxious but still being really positive, someone will say
"well, if it doesn't work this time, you can try again" or
"It will happen, even if it's not this time" or, the one I hate the most
"have you considered adopting?"
I'm not up to that. I'm being positive and, as all my Twitter friends know #thisembryowillbemybaby. Plus, as a single girl, I can't adopt, so there.
My response is usually to say "I'm taking one day at a time."
A select few who have no fucking idea (sorry friends), STILL insist on talking about adoption, or how many more times I'm planning on doing IVF. It happened last week and in the end, I had to change the subject.
ARGH
My blood test is Wednesday. I'm tempted to turn up tomorrow for it...
Phew! Glad none of those people are me. LOL! I stayed home all day today because it's really difficult to walk when all my fingers and toes are crossed. xo M
