Dreams

Well not much to update on at the moment. I have been going in for u/s this week and I am just waiting for my follicles to grow! I am doing the same protocol that I did last month, but my eggs aren't growing quite as fast. I had an appointment Monday, then again on Thursday and I thought by Thursday I would be triggering for an IUI this weekend, but no such luck, there wasn't much growth from Monday to Thursday. So I go in tomorrow morning and I am hoping that I will be triggering tomorrow night for an IUI on Monday.

After my first failed IUI I have been wanting to do some more reading, to help with coping with all the ups and downs. I found an interesting book that I have been enjoying that talks a lot about envisioning, and intention. I have found it to be quite helpful. I am doing things like thinking about what my babies will look like, thinking about that wonderful baby smell and thinking about what it will be like when I am pregnant. My best friend is due with her first in December, so I am also trying to think about me being pregnant when I go visit her in the hospital. The book is called "A Spiritual Path to Overcoming Infertility: Creating your miracle family now" and its been a quick, but useful read. I will leave you with a quote that I quite like from the book:

"Dream lofty dreams

and as you dream, 

so shall you become.

The greatest achievement was at first, 

and for a time, a dream.

The oak sleeps in the acorn;

the bird waits in the egg;

and in the highest vision of the soul, 

a waking angel stirs.

Dreams are the seedlings of realities."

- James Allen
