Z Baby Quest

I've connected with two women recently who are navigating their way through the infertility journey and I'm reassured that writing this blog is a good thing. It's so nice to have the support of your family and friends and have them rally around you. And sharing your story with others that know exactly how you feel is so comforting. Within the infertility community, there's a shared shorthand of terms that we throw around; TTC (trying to conceive), BFP/BFN (big fat positive and negative), BBT (basal body temp) and the list goes on and on. There's an overwhelming amount of information out there and you don't know where you fit it and everyone's journey is different. I just want everyone to know that I'm here to answer questions, vent, etc. even if it's to help you support another person going through this. Because of my blog, an old friend reached out to tell me about a place where I could find really inexpensive medications! So far, I have almost everything I need so I can resume treatment in June. I have to wait until my period starts and once it does, we kick it all into high gear. In the meantime, I'm nearing my 40th birthday and I'm not excited about it at all. All the doctors do is make you paranoid about age and throw out scary statistics so being 40 puts you in a new bracket. I just feel like I'm getting too old and I'm terrified that we will end up childless. I never knew that waiting for Mr Right would come back and bite me in the ass because it caused the baby journey to start later compared to most. But it is what it is and I'm doing my best. I will keep you posted once the protocol starts. Thanks for your prayers and sharing my story with your loved ones. The more we know about infertility and how common it is, the less stigma there will be for women going through it. Love to all.
