Try not to stress out... yeah, right.

For those of you who have not been through this process before, let me try to explain why when people tell you, "try not to stress out", etc it's nearly impossible not to...

In the wonderful world of fertility (or infertility), each and every single day accounts for something.  For example:  You go in for a sonogram on the 3rd day of your period.  On that day, you begin taking clomid for 5 days (that's 8 days that mean something).  Then you go in for blood work, sonograms, take shots, etc and when it's all said and done, you've spent 15-20 out of 30 days worrying/wondering/thinking about whatever related to your cycle and what's going on or supposed to happen.  It's exhausting and no matter how hard you try, you can't stop.  Believe me.  I tried.  With alcohol, with going out, with food, etc and none of it works. 

See my calendar for the month of December alone.  Oy vey!

So, I know you're being sweet and truly have no idea what to say or how to make things better, but just know that sometimes a woman on hormones is unpredictable and you never know what type of reaction you might get!  :-)
