A Little Laughter

It's taken a bit of time for Noah to FULLY appreciate the tenacity and determination of a woman in the throes of infertility, but I think he now truly does. Though he feels his jobs aren't all that important, trust me, they are. Giving me shots and making me laugh are vital ingredients to this process and can be a challenge.  

The last video post was kind of heavy. But it was honest. That's my goal on this blog. To be honest and to normalize some of the challenges of infertility. But I promise it's not going to be all depressing and sad stuff. Don't get me wrong, infertility is a total nightmare, but being alive isn't. Having a loving family and a supportive husband and the occassional mint chocolate chip ice cream sandwich from Coolhaus are things to be appreciated. Listening to Louis CK do stand up and going to baseball games are also high on the list of things that help get me through the low moments.

Here is a short clip of Noah and I in the waiting room of our RE's office. It was our 3rd or 4th visit where we were attempting to start IVF. It felt like every time we checked my follicles there was a different issue that prevented us from getting the green light. 

 

The take home message is laugh. Find ways to step out of the daily grind of doctor's appointments and shots and night sweats. Take a break from worrying if this will finally be the time something works. If you conceived easily, then take a moment to be thankful and find a way to help a friend whose not having as much luck take a laughter break.

Love this. That's hilarious. And that would totally be my husband...except I wouldn't be able to guarantee that the sound was coming from the couch. (-: Don't tell him I said that.
