But who’s counting, anyway?
Welcome to my ICLW visitors. For a narrative version of my journey, check out my TTC Curriculum Vitae or the May or April ICLW posts.
We all are. We never stop counting. I am sorry you’ve had to survive all of this. I hope things start to get brighter soon.
Me too, lady, me too. As someone once said, tomorrow is another day.
Oh boy this list is depressing. I wish no one had lists like this.
I know. I wish no one had to endure this sustained pain and grief.
Way, WAY too many numbers. My heart goes out to you for your struggles and losses. Your strength is inspirational. You never asked to be tested like this (who does?!), but not everyone can endure it with as much poise, determination and resolve as you are.
Thanks so much. I’ve resolved, just today, to try to do my best to face the day every day. Sometimes I like to hide.
I love you. That is all.
I love you, too.
Great list. You should add the number of vaginal ultrasounds to the list. This is a number I find myself keeping up with and always amazed by how high it is! (Hi from ICLW)
I know! I was thinking of the vag probes, the injections and the blood draws, but honestly I don’t know if I could even begin to count. Especially the injections. Thanks for stopping by!
I don’t think I could begin to count, either. One day, though, you’ll add “1 Baby” (or maybe two) to the list and it will all be worthwhile.
Exactly, and that’s why we endure what we all endure.
Period Tracker adds little pink hearts to track intercourse … perhaps there should be an option for a little black heart or something to count the vag probes?
Thank you for visiting my blog for ICLW…..
I don’t even want to play the numbers game, it would be depressing……
I hope you can start counting happier things soon!!
Me too! Perhaps I just need a change in perspective.
Ugh! This is a list that no one should have. It is amazing all of the things that some us have to go through while others have no issues at all. I am seriously hoping that there is a silver lining to all of this. Hugs.
I hear you, loud and clear.
Doesn’t seem fair that you should have to endure so much loss in such a short amount of time. We are all so deep in the trenches and I certainly never thought in a million years it would be this hard!! Maybe thats a good thing that we didnt know?? Hoping it gets easier for you real soon…
