I remember crying when I started my period after my first IVF, losing Artie and Herkie forever.
I cried when I had my first anniversary with my husband and reflected on how lucky I was.
I definitely shed tears after our first IUI, the one that had no chance of being successful and wasn't -- but we really honestly thought it was the one.
I cried when my second IVF transfer was canceled, even though I knew we were doing the right thing to give Link and Zelda a fighting chance.
I imagine if someone were to watch me cry. For some of the above, I imagine my cries would make them as devastated as I was. Other times, they may be trying to be empathetic, but actually biting their lip to hold back laughter in how crazy I looked.
Crying isn't all bad. This video is absolutely one of my favorite ones on You Tube right now. (It's less than 3 minutes and definitely safe for work, so give it a whirl) This girl knows that crying can reflect on something good:
Her crying is very similar to mine when I saw this in the morning only 5 days after our transfer on January 16th:
It's light, but it is there! It only got darker each day. |
And maybe it was a bit more exaggerated and comical when we were able to send this picture to my parents as a complete surprise that same night:
Note the drinks of choice for each of us :) |
And it was truly the best cry ever when I got back my beta today. 274! The median for a single pregnancy at this point is 299, so we are right there (and looking like one baby rather than two)...but we'll see!
We are having a baby/babies!!!!!
Omg....To add to the topic of you post. ...I read this and got all teary and then watched the video clip and was smiling so big with teary eyes! Such a sweet sweet video and such an amazing moment for you guys.
