Getting Christmassy and other musings...

Hi everyone!

Firstly, thank you for all the comments on my last post - You are all so kind! AF is is a f--king bitch isn't she?! Ha ha!

But, I refuse to let it get me down. I fully believe that one of my eggs fertilised in this last cycle, but that things just weren't quite right for it to implant, once again. I have never had such strong early pregnancy symptoms before - I counted one day where I had to go for a wee 19 times by 3pm and I had to have an afternoon nap for 4 of the 6 afternoons in that week!? Anyway, I believe that my body is getting more and more ready and knows exactly what to do.

It will be very interesting when I have my first egg collection next year, to actually find out what the quality of my eggs is like. Hmmmmm.....

However, I've had enough of all of this for one year, let alone two! It is our 2 year anniversary of TTC this month, and I am slightly (massive sarcasm there) over it, but in a weirdly good way...

My darling husband said on Friday:

" Stay strong and remember that we will get there step by step. Every month we are not pregnant means a wider base and foundation for our future together :-) I love you"

Many other couples who are extremely fertile, never get a nice long period of time to really get to know each other before they have babies. Many fertile couples will never have the unbelievable closeness and bond, we infertiles have with our partners. For this we are truly blessed. This is what my DH meant by the above message.

It is also December and that means it's time to get into the Christmas spirit! We put up our tree yesterday and I've emailed off a special e-Christmas card to all of our friends and family all over the world.

I am also looking forward to this next month pre-IVF where I am going to enjoy our 10 night beach camping holiday to the max, soak up some lovely rays, revel in nature, take long walks, do yoga at sunrise on the beach and sit around the campfire with friends for hours talking.

I feel truly blessed.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to wish all my wonderful blogging friends who I have met in this past month, for the amazing welcome and love they have shown me so far. I truly believe that I would not be in the positive and optimistic head-space I am currently in, if it weren't for all of you, so a huge thank you.

Happy festive season everyone!
