Feelings entry: I am grateful

I just wanted to take the time to say I'm sorry for complaining lately. You have to understand the emotional roller coaster that this journey takes couples on. Especially when they have more than just infertility to worry about.  I had many obstacles to overcome before I could actually start  fertility treatments and when I finally got the chance to start I was only able to complete one full treatment cycle the second one failed. So I've been waiting to start the third cycle and the setback has just been emotionally overwhelming. I also have a lot on my mind which includes insurance and being able to afford IVF. IVF takes a lot of time and everything is calculated a certain way and with it already being February I also have to look at how this is going to affect the way it's billed to my insurance so basically there's just a lot on my mind and when doctors offices don't listen to me and don't take the time to talk to me it just gets very frustrating. Not to mention I don't know how much time I have left to do treatments. It's been a year and I've only had one successful cycle. I'm grateful that I have a group of friends and family members who take the time to try and understand what I'm going through and help to give me the encouragement I need to continue. I'm trying to take a grateful approach to things and this to We Shall Overcome.
