“Time means nothing and everything when you’re going through infertility.”
I’m trying to conceive having been diagnosed with endometriosis 6 months ago, and the feeling of time has already really changed. To smallest span of the current cycle phase, to longest wondering “can I even conceive at all?”
Those words have really landed, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for reading, Kat. I'm so sorry about your recent diagnosis and am hoping it provides some answers/helpful steps forward for your doctors. Sending you love x
Thanks Kayti! I appreciate your kind words. It did provide some sort of a timeline, when and what next steps would be if any, and that is helpful. Now trying as much as I can to just take it 1 month at a time :)
I loved this post so much. Thank you for sharing where you are at in processing your infertility. During my most recent cycle I also drove up the 5 to the Bay from LA crying and listening to music!! A few songs to add to the playlist: My Silver Lining, First Aid Kit; This Will Be Our Year, the Zombies; Maybe This Time, Liz Minelli (or GLEE Cast if you are a millennial)
I relate to this post so much. I also used to listen to music all of the time. I'm not sure when I stopped, but I think it was around my 2nd miscarriage, getting diagnosed with DOR, and deciding to do IVF. I think you hit it on the money - it feels too stimulating. For a long time, when I drove, I listened to silence, like you said. It's only been recently that I've started putting my Liked Songs on Spotify on shuffle. I wonder what we thought we were protecting ourselves from...still something I need to process!
