In an attempt to reach women who are struggling with fertility treatment, I wanted to write about my own experiences. I'll discuss my private adventure and share what really happens, my real feelings, and how I'm coping by finding humor in the situation because if you don't laugh, you'll cry.

Time Flies When Your Having Fun
I've noticed that since I've been in treatment. Time flies AND stands still. I feel like we've been doing this forever but when I think about we've only been doing this since July. Sometimes the days blend together. Other days never end but time just keeps on passing. I can't believe its February. My sister is having her baby in about 2 months. The school year is more than half way over. The holidays were a wash. I turned 34. Its 55 degrees today. That's almost spring! I told my husband how I feel about the weird time thing; that we didn't really have holidays, and then he wished me a happy Valentine's Day. I totally forgot. He just hugged me. I never really liked Valentine's Day anyway. But that's beside the point. My good friends were talking about going on vacation, planning for next year..."Let's save money in a vacation account and go someplace nice. Just us girls." That's the best idea I've heard in a long time. Thinking that far ahead is nearly impossible? I don't know where I'll be! Maybe I'll be a mom... It's hard to plan or commit to anything because of the timing, when will I ovulate, will that weekend be the one that I'll need to be inseminated? Will I have to go to the doctor during treatment? I don’t know what is going on in the world. I don’t keep up with current events. I don’t know who is winning on American idol (can’t stand that show but people keep asking me about it!). I’m lucky I know the date. So I plan to make no plans. I'm content with my books, house projects, my wonderful husband, my 3 doggies and Netflix streaming (thank God for that).
