Day 14:
If a very observant stranger were to walk into your house,
what clues could lead them to believe that you have struggled with infertility?
One of the first things you would
see as you step inside my small duplex is my bookshelf. On this bookshelf you
would see “Taking Charge of Your Fertility”. I bought this book to help me know
about basal body temping, how to check cervical mucus, and other things. It is a pretty helpful book if you don’t know
how to do those things. I have a copy of "What to Expect When Your Expecting"
too. On my night stand you will find my "Basal Digital Thermometer" In the kitchen you will
see a box with all my meds & vitamins: Metformin, Labetelol, Folic Acid,
B-Complex, Iron, Royal Jelly, Zinc, and baby aspirin.
But I
would have to say the most obvious thing you would find in my home to point to
infertility is the vacant room. We have some stuff stored in it, not too
much. I fool myself into thinking that
if everything is open for a baby then my ovaries when get into the game
too. I have leftover things from my
daycare I had in there. I have a pack n play, some toys, and children’s books
from when I was a teacher.
Even
though it is just the two of us, I made my husband get a minivan as our
vehicle. He wanted a truck. The idea of a truck
was like he was giving up on me ever having a baby. I know he wasn’t thinking that…but my baby
desire thoughts sometime over rule my logical side. He loves to drive trucks and that is all that
it was.
My vacation is going well. I am enjoying time with my
husband’s cousins. I wish he was here with me though. I miss him terribly. His
cousin is a chef so I have been getting some really healthy meals that are
delicious.
