when it rains

Feeling pretty scattered right now.  

Just found out yesterday that one of my grandparents has cancer.  It’s early so there’s hope…but still.  It was a blow.  Waiting for a phone call right now to hear more about that impending surgery.  

S. surgical consult isn’t until April 11th.  So we have forever to obsess about that.  

Just started CD1 today (I think, if this spotting has finally turned to something more) and with the HSG and clomid challenge, I have to be at the RE’s 4 times in the next 13 days.  And what if things with my grandparents are dire and I need to get a plane sometime in the next 2 weeks?  

Feeling very overwhelmed about moving on to IVF as well.  

There are too many scary things and not enough happy things in my world right now.

    I am so sorry. I know it probably doesn’t help to hear, but I’ve been there. It is so hard to feel hope when things get like this. I am sending you lots of love, peaceful thoughts and prayers.

  2. so sorry my turtley friend… i hope that things are NOT dire with your grandparent and that april 11th comes soon and goes smoothly. i am here if you want to talk IVF at any time… i have lived through the retrieval parts and the transfer parts both and will be doing it all again in the next month. xo mulberry

  3. I’m so sorry, my friend. Grandparents are so, so special. It is scary and sad, but I am hopeful for you, since it is early, I’ll say a prayer that the situation with your grandparent is treatable. Lots of love.

  4. I’m so sorry. Like WHP said, I’ve been there, if you ever want to bend an ear. I’m keeping you all in my thoughts.

  5. I’m sending you positive thoughts and lots of hugs.

  7. Oh no! I am so sorry. Keep us posted. Make sure you take time to look after yourself, especially during times of stress like this. Hugs.

  8. I’m so sorry about your grandparent. I’m glad they caught it early but I’m sure it’s still so hard. Some days the world seems like too much, but you’ll make it to tomorrow and the day after and the day after.

  9. Oh, I am so sorry. I hope things get better soon. SEnding you positive energy and prayers.

  10. I have lots of love and support for you right now. I wish there were some way I could get it to you. I hope everything is ok with your grandparent. I am amazed at what a difficult year this has been for so many people and I just have to hold out hope that it can only get better from here. Like Olive says, just take it one day at a time.

    I found the thought of IVF to be totally overwhelming as well. I get it but I know if you end up there, it will be ok.

  11. Sending lots of love and hugs to you and S. and your family. Please try to take care of yourself!

  12. It all seems like far too much all at once. You are very strong, but I know it would be nice to not HAVE to be strong. Take care of yourself and S and if you need us, we’re here for you.

    I am so sorry you’re being handed so much to deal with right now. I wish you and S. lived here so that I could cook for you and give you hugs and just listen. I’m hoping the best for your grandparent’s treatments and for S.’s consult. Much love to you, sweetie. xoxo

  14. Sending you lots of warmth… I hope that things start getting happier soon.

  15. I wish you love, light and strenght.

  16. yup, another sara

    hey- I am sending you big love right now. I am just finishing up the cd for the package, so it will be on its way to you tomorrow. IVF is more scary to think about than it is to go through– just remember, you have all of us out here to talk you through it. I am sending lots of good vibes to your grandparent.

  17. Oh for god’s sake. You so deserve to catch a break! So sorry.

  18. I have a lot of love to give you. I am so sorry everything seems to be crashing down at once. I am sorry that S’s cysts are back.

    Love and hugs and hugs and love

  19. Big hugs and good vibes your way.

  20. I’m sorry about your grandparent, hope it has been discovered at an early stage and its fixable or controllable.

    Hoping things start looking up for you soon… like this week, would be nice. All the best with this cycle…
