Rough week...

edited September 2017 in Trouble TTC
My current class is Child and Adolescent Psychology. All of my classes are online so we have to participate in weekly discussion questions. I bawled my eyes out while answering this one... 

"There are many causes of infertility in men and women. Share with the class some of the common explanations for each gender. How does infertility affect the man and woman emotionally? What are some alternative options for people who are coping with infertility issues?"

I forced myself to keep it short and as difficult as it was, I am glad that I was able to talk about my issues and raise awareness! There are two others in my class who are also/ have struggled with all of this. 

I know I haven't been around much, **TW** still emotionally raw from my loss in July, but doing better. My dad completed his chemo and radiation and was supposed to have surgery this Friday. He had a heart attack last night. Being 3000 miles away from my family sucks big time but my mom and sisters are keeping me updated. He had an EKG today that did not show signs of his heart attack because of how quickly they got him to the hospital. He has a full blockage of his coronary artery. They put him on blood thinners and put in a stent. He is in the ICU but will hopefully be able to go home sometime tomorrow or Wednesday. It sure seems like when it rains it pours! 

I also wanted to take a second to tell each one of you how much I appreciate you! I know I don't always post on the check in's and address each of you, but I do keep up with what is going on! Thank you for your support. I hate that we have to go through this, but I can't think of a better group of people to go through it with!

    I'm so so sorry to hear about your dad! I really hope he's on the mend soon and home quickly.
    I understand your crappy week :( I haven't had anything as bad as that, but **TW** we found out that my sister in law is pregnant last night and I broke down crying (still raw from my mc a couple of weeks ago too). So obviously I had to fill her in on what had happened so I didn't look like a complete selfish cow. She's 16 weeks, so only 4 and half weeks further than I should be too.

    I completely agree about this group - everyone is so wonderful and I'm so glad I found this page too :)

    I hope things start looking up for you soon @eranvo27 - I really do <3

    @eranvo27 Whoa, I wish you could catch a break! I'm glad you were able to answer that question with your class; it's important to be able to educate others about IF even though it sucks so much, especially when you're emotionally raw. I also want to say how sorry I am about you dad's heart attack. That's so scary! And just totally unfair when everything else seems to hopefully be going well with the chemo and radiation. I'm so glad he got to the hospital so quickly. Will this delay his surgery a lot? Lots of hugs to you this week.

    @tops-2 I'm sorry about the news from your SIL. I mean, good for her of course, but oh the timing! *TW* I told DH and a friend--who knows what we're going through and has been very supportive--that i couldn't be happy for another friend who just got KU and I didn't even feel bad about it, and they both affirmed that was ok. *TW Not that that's necessarily how you feel, but if it is, it's ok.

    @eranvo27 - Um "What are some alternative options for people who are coping with infertility issues?"

    I would NOT do well with that question. I'd be like: "WTF is that supposed to mean? Are you just going to suggest adoption, Einstein?" I'm irritated just thinking about what other people might say, given the wording of that question. Clearly, whoever wrote it was not thinking: "Well, first you try to actively treat whatever is causing the issue, before you start looking at alternative options." Nope - just skipped straight to Z, and over all the "coping" you have to do while you're actively trying and failing. Ugh!

    I'm sorry for the class, and your dad, and your still-raw loss. IF is BRUTAL.
