Giving up things

I'm doing okay with the giving up things, well kind of. I have to admit that giving up a few of my favorite things for this IVF has been especially hard.

After all I've been a very good girl for several months, trialing my way through three count 'em three IUI's and what on earth did it get me? A lot of resentment that's what. I hate resentment. It makes it all so much worse.

and so ...

I had some wine with dinner all weekend.

I had some non-herbal tea too with breakfast.

I loaded up on sugar with a friend who was visiting.
Will all these little sins lead to bad eggs? These are just minor slips of the tounge. After all I won't allow this trend to continue. Have I already done myself in?

Oh well, at least I won't harbor resentment if things don't work. I'll only have guilt to deal with and maybe that's the easier of the two emotions. The psychology of all of this is very amusing.

Hi Chris, That's great you've gotten started on the IVF - my fingers are so crossed for you! Don't stress the wine and caffeine - everything in moderation. I'm in agreement about the resentment - guilt is easier to deal with.

Good luck, and look forward to your update! Casey

I think a little wine and caffeine are OK. Let this be a resent-free cycle. I hope all is going well and I can't wait to hear that you have started stims. I have everything crossed for you.
