We've been trying for 6 months. I don't even know what to think about that. Last month was really hard for me. I just knew I was pregnant. I thought I would get to tell our families at Christmas. I cried for two days. I can't keep doing this to myself. I've got to find a way to handle trying to conceive and living a happy life. This is a whole new ball game for me. I have always been happy and hopeful. I'm trying hard to get back to that place. I've cut myself off the computer almost completely. I can't read blogs or baby websites. I'm not letting it consume me anymore. I'm still going to do opks, temping, and vitamins. I'm just going to try to keep myself busy and not let this control me. I feel like it has.
I called my obgyn when I was so upset. The nurse said he would see me after trying for 3 months. So I have an appointment on Friday. I'm not sure what it's going to entail, but I'm nervous.
I've been turning to God for hope and strength. I have an app on my phone called Devotion. It sends bible verses and a message twice a day.
Today mine said, "Have you stopped daring to hope? At times, our hope in our dreams and plans on this earth to do great things diminish when we don't see a sliver of success. But don't let that stop you from believing in yourself. Remember, even though we may not see God, our hope in His love and grace is always there. Keep hoping no matter what."
So very wise to let go and let God!! He is in control and your devotion proved that. How awesome! Just know that I am hopeful for you too. I hope that brings some encouragement to you. I'm so thankful for the strong women in my life that were hopeful for me when I had days that I just couldn't be. Thanks for blogging and sharing. I'm always wondering how you are. I hope your appointment this Friday goes well! Happy new year!
ReplyDeletethank you for your thoughts! I hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year!
DeleteI have been following your blog for a few months now. I started trying in June and I too just knew I would be able to tell my family at Christmas. It has been harder and harder as each month goes on. I've been trying to stay positive, but like you said its hard! I have found that it helps that I have cut back on baby websites and blogs too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading! It does get harder and harder. Hang in there. I hope you get your sweet baby soon!
