Comments!

Wow! Can I tell you how thrilling it is to get my first comments? :-) Thanks to all who commented for making my day! I'm slowly getting more confident about commenting on others' blogs as well. I know it's crazy but I've felt until recently like a total newbie even with a year of infertility adventures under my belt. Like infertility was ever a topic I'd planned to become knowledgeable about......

When I finally got this blog up and running I thought I had a backlog of topics about my experiences that I thought I wanted to write about. Surprisingly, some of them have faded already. I guess that's a good thing. That tells me that when you're in the moment (e.g. the 2ww) it all feels so intense, but eventually some of those feelings do fade. It's that fading of (bad) memories that maybe keeps us able to go back for another cycle. Does that make sense?

On the other hand, I do think remembering and being much more aware, for example, of how exactly progesterone affects me during the 2ww (twice on Pro.me.trium and once on En.do.metrin) helps me. I know, for sure now, that the fog lifts for me about 36 hours after I stop taking it. I know, for sure, that at least some of my emotional breakdowns during those 2ww's are due to the progesterone and not to just being plain crazy. It doesn't make me excited about being on progesterone again in a future cycle, but I feel like being aware of how it affects me does help me look at it all a bit more objectively when I'm in the moment.

So, with that I'm off for a run in the sun! (We haven't seen the sun since, like, last Thursday). Thanks again to all who left comments!
