Two Week Wait

These last two weeks have been very rough.  I've tried to keep myself busy and keep my mind off of anything remotely related to babies. 

I've spent lots of time with my needle over the last 14 days.  Much of the time it was to deal with frogs.  It seems that since my mind is not fully there the frogs decided to take advantage of me.  Even with the frogs, I did mange to finish an old wip.  I was trying to figure out when I started it and I have a feeling it was sometime back in 2006.  I'll tell you all about the frogs and the piece next time.

After my finish I began working on Mouline Rouge again.  She's a little bit further than she was, but nowhere near close.  I tried to plug along but I was struggling with my lack of mojo.  Instead I went digging through some of my kitted projects and I came up with "Delivering Wares" by Homespun Elegance.  I've got a good start on it and I think it will go a long way in helping me to get my mojo back on track.  I don't have enough for a picture though...maybe next time.

My personal mojo has been suffering as well.  I found out on Saturday that the IUI didn't take.  Then on Sunday I found out that my youngest sister is 8 weeks pregnant.  Needless to say I didn't have a great Mother's Day.  Then today my co-worker brought in her week old twin boys.  I couldn't even bring myself to hold one of them as I knew if I did I would end up a hot mess.

I did place a call to the doctor's office after the IUI failure and now I'm scheduled for a hysteroscopy.  Basically the doctor is going to look inside and see if there is anything that could possibly be preventing pregnancy, like scar tissue from previous D&C's.  So, I'm out of the running for TQfM again this month.  I'm scheduled for the outpatient procedure early next month. Hopefully everything will be good so that we can start trying again in mid June.

Unitl then I will just have to be patient.  I guess I could practice that patience with those darn frogs.

Happy Stitching!

I'm so sorry to hear it, Jennifer. I'm sure it's tough, waiting and trying and trying again. I have said a prayer for you. Can't wait to see pics of your finish and new WIP. Grats on the progress. Sorry to hear you had to frog. Sometimes, it doesn't matter what you do, you just can't get it right. Hope they stay away for a while now!!

I'm sorry to hear the news Jennifer. I know that it is awfully hard going through this time and again. I'm sending hugs and prayers to you.

Sorry to hear about the frogs too (I've had a little bit of that action myself unfortunately). Can't wait to see what pieces you've been working on.

Oh Jennifer, I am so sorry and can understand so completely - my sister tried one month and was pregnant with my niece when my husband and I had been trying for over a year and no luck. It was the month my niece was born that I finally conceived...after tons of fertility appts and treatments. Hang in there...I am praying for you!

Sorry about the frogs but I can't wait to see what you've been stitching!

Jennifer - my Daughter went through heck & back and is finally pregnant. It seems so unfair that there are so many women out there that don't want t have children but have them...and then there are women out there that live to have children to love and have such a difficult time getting pregnant. Hang in there. I have a feeling something good is coming your way.

So sorry to hear about this Jennifer. I'm getting to that frustration stage myself. We are about to embark on all the tests to see if there's anything wrong. I just hope it's not working because we aren't trying hard enough. I don't know. But I feel for you when you are trying everything and then find out that everyone around is pregnant or has babies. Same thing is happening to me. I'm happy for them but I get sad too. Big Hugs for you!
