โHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. Back then it was my husband's results. I picked up the guitar again. Bit by bit it comes back.โ
โWhen you start this, you will feel like you are the only one hiding needles in a bathroom. You are not. Some days will be just waiting. Some days you will be angry at the world. That is okay. Find one small thing that is only yours, like a basketball court or a quiet coffee before work. Tell your partner the truth, even when it is ugly. And ask your doctor every question you have, even the silly ones. You will get through this, even if the result is not what you planned.โ
โIf you're scared right now, I get it. About three years ago, that was me. Back then it was egg retrieval day. Now I sleep most nights. It changes. It really does. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ
โTwo years ago, that was me. My husband's results, every single day. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy.โ
