This is my story of trying to have a baby without my eggs and without a man. And both not by choice.

no news
this sucks.......and as I told my psychologist last week I am not sure how much longer I will emotionally and physically be able to do this.......before i loose it...
Thursday, September 27, 2007
sigh
Guess I got one more day for hopefully some news about the donor.
I am not sure I am prepared to have another donor not come thru...there has been too many.
I mean lets face it this has to work eventually ...right?

good days never last long.........
Yesterday I found out that a former friend and co-worker of mine is pregnant after lots of drama with fertility drugs........And I could barely keep a straight face and smile to tell the girl that told me how happy I am for the other girl.......
I feel horrible that I can never truly feel happy for people telling me about their good news
because I am sooo angry about not getting any good news myself.
I feel like I am now officially the only person left in the world that cannot get pregnant.
I wish there would be more people online like me.
Just a single woman trying to achieve a dream that comes so easy for most everyone in the world.
Plus today I feel lonely and sooo alone....as good as I felt yesterday about not being with the guy that actually had someone else on the side today I keep stupidly thinking that at least I was not alone.........stupid yes I know.
Well 2 more days till I should hear some more news about my donor....(that I still know nothing about)
SO I keep on smiling and hoping that one day it will be my turn.......

today has been kinda a good day
Sunday, September 23, 2007
sigh!
I keep digging thru the Internet in hopes of finding more women like me. That are going thru this and maybe have some more advise or encouragement.....because I am about to throw in the towel and start back over later.....when i am not so frazzled and stressed and burned out any more.
Oh but hey silly me I guess I forgot that I am not getting younger and that I have early ovarian failure and am starting menopause.
Gosh my life SUCKS!
Well lets see what tomorrow brings.
Am gonna paste on my nice fake smile and keep going.

loosing faith
I am discouraged, I'm am anxious, Stressed, more and more angry and another month has passed. I already went thru a whole month of birth control again and have gotten no news as to what is going on with the new donor...heck I don't even know shoooot about her. Don't know if we are still coordinating cycles or if we dumped another egg donor.
I think I am gonna loose it soon.
Monday I will call and find out what the heck is going on.
And then I am gonna go see my psychologist in the afternoon.
God I don't know how much longer I can do this......its insane.
The longer this takes the more frustrated, discouraged and MAD I get.

still waiting...
My nurse out for a week....nobody else didn't tell me anything new.
This is insane.........
and stressing me badly.
Monday, September 17, 2007
confused
She is off for a week and nobody knows.
Well this is not exactly helping my slowly fading confidence in the whole
process. Shoot.
How long does it take to coordinate 3 women's freaking cycles.
And I asked the nurse that called me back if there was anything in my
file as to what she might have called me for.....NOTHING
So i guess no bad news is good news?
Heck I am going to be a wreck soon.
How do people go thru this by themselves or even with a partner?

Worried about more bad news
My psychologist cancelled on me yesterday right as I drove into the parking lot.
I was a little upset since I already had a bad week but I tried to not let it get to me.
And since I was heading for that appointment I put my phone on silent.
And then of course I forgot to change it. So I missed a phone call from my nurse.
She said to call her. No details........So now I am freaking out that it is more bad news.
I don't even wanna think about it what I am going to do if this donor does not happen
either. I am not sure how much more of this I can handle. I am about ready to give up.
I am ready to just get out of my job, the city and maybe the country...
I am so distraught with this whole progress.
I am broke as a church mouse, afraid to spend any money and so far in debt and got
absolutely nothing to show for.
This is soooooo difficult.
Well we shall see what the news are on Monday.

hmmmm!
How weird!
I called into work today because being so upset yesterday about work gave me a serious headache and my stomach is all upset.
But anyway so once I felt a little better I started watching a little TV. And I found and egg donation story line on "As the world turns". It kinda helps to think I am not the only one, but heck its fiction. So no it really doesn't.
But in a way it is nice to see that people think about me and others having this problem and integrate it into stories that are being shown on TV. It does kinda feel good.
But I still feel I am the only one in the world. And that I did something wrong in my life to deserve this. I have doubts about this lately and about everything else in my life.
I am not sure if I have ever been this unhappy. I feel like I am at a dead end and do not know how to continue from here......with the rest of my life.
Heck all I ever wanted was a man that loves me, kids and a house........and to be happy or at least content.
Ahhhh....crap I hate feeling depressed.
So here I go putting my smile back on and keep on trucking.........

Bad day
i don't know if I am more stressed because of all the waiting
or my job is really that bad.
At least I finally had a good cry...which i think I need with all this
donor stuff not going well so far this year.
I told my psychologist that I felt like I should have had a mini nervous
breakdown after my last donor fell thru.
She thought that I maybe just learned to cope an accept.
well I guess I am not accepting work so far.......or the bull going on there
and managers keeping a blind eye.....but one customer complains about me
and i get docked money........while others cheat to make money.
Ahhhh I better stop I had finally calmed down, and all without the help of chocolate
or comfort food.
well I keep on waiting for the good news of donor ready.

hanging in there
She said that the new donor has to go thru 2 more tests and then
we are good to go.
Wow it seems to take sooo long.
I feel like giving up and getting my money back...pay of debt.
This waiting gives me too much time to think. I worry, I have doubts and
I am just all freaking out.
This weekend I decided to make some changes.
No more decaf coffee, only decaf tea, juice and water.
And more healthy food like lotsa cereal, fruits, veggies, nuts and dairy.
Lets face it all the stress and all the chocolate and cakes I have been
consuming make me look pregnant before I can even get there.
Sigh.
So more healthier eating like I used to.
And at least 30 minutes of some form of exercise every day.
So far I hadn't been worried about the future...what when I have a baby or babies.
I just figured it will all be okay.
No I am worried.......about the cost of raising a child or more.
Am I just so stressed with waiting that I am going a lil cuckoo?
I think so.....sigh

not much new
I feel so much better afterwards.
Seems strange how talking to a professionl helps versus talking to
regular people. Guess I am always afraid of being judged or getting
negative comments on what I am doing.
So blogging and talking to my psychologist feels so much better.
I leave the office with a much lighter heart and a smile on my face.
And I just feel like my batteries have been recharged to face my daily
live again.
Sigh.
Still no further news from my fertility clinic. But I am learning to be more
patient.
And I am so excited.
Oh and I watched part of OPRAH today and saw this couple that has a website
that loans out money to people allover the world. And as little as 25 bucks can
help someone in another country start a business. And then eventually they pay
ya back.
Wow I thought that was soooo cool!
this is the website

still waiting
Everybody's cycle has to be coordinated.
The donor and me and the other recipient.
And then we start over.
Right now I am not to stressed with the waiting.
I am getting a lot of stuff around the house done to keep busy.
Will be seeing my psychologist again on Wednesday and am really
looking forward to it.
So that is it for now.
