Somethings that came out of mine and Mr. MBC's talk....
- I've realized that I've been oblivious to the let-down he feels as each month passes. I guess since I talk about it, blog about it, and think about it all.the.time., I forgot that he doesn't have a child on the way either.
- Also, I realized that IF is a "personal" matter to Mr. MBC. My real life friend, K, and I started our last cycle within 3 days of each other and did the same protocol. She and I would text several times a day about stuff. Mr. MBC is not a fan of texting, so I just thought that was where his frustration came from. Not from the fact that I was discussing our "personal" issues with someone else.
- Mr. MBC pointed out to me that I no longer say "When we have a kid..." but rather I've started saying "If we have a kid....". He thinks that this battle has turned me into a different person. I'm typically very optimistic and look at the best case scenario. While I feel like that's who I am still, I don't approach IF with that same attitude. I honestly feel defeated. And I don't know how to get over that feeling.
- We discussed IVF and decided that we would figure out a way to make the financial side of it work if our journey comes to that.
Just found your blog. I'm right there with you on this cycle. My first IUI was August 1 and it failed. I was OK with my BFN the first day then got a little sadder, and a little sadder... My ""Mr" is also highly sensitive to me discussing this with the world. Keeping my fingers crossed for you for IUI #2
