Oncoming Bout of Pessimism

Well, tomorrow I go in for my second IUI (intrauterine insemination, for those who have no clue what I'm talking about). I am trying really hard to relax tonight and not obsess about the possibilities, but it's hard. While the experience itself is quite uncomfortable, I'm not anxious about the procedure, as much as I am about the possibility of going through another month of disappointment. This optimist is slowly becoming a pessimist when it comes to my fertility.

Just last week, two of my very close friends announced they were pregnant. Then, over the weekend, my husband's boss called to tell him that his wife was pregnant. It feels like everyone around us can do it...why can't we?

I do have faith that it will happen eventually, and I appreciate the prayers and kind words I receive from friends and family. I just hope it happens sooner, rather than later!

Okay, instead of stressing about this right now, I'm going to go do some yoga. Stay tuned and wish me luck!
