Dear J, Please practice what you preach. Thanks.

After talking to Dr. W. yesterday, I was disheartened.  I knew this was the cycle from hell, but I wasn't prepared for how hellish it was really going to be. le sigh. More waiting. And waiting. And waiting. Oh, and did I mention we're waiting to hear about our bids on two houses. Yes, waiting. imagine that.

As I was laying in bed last night, lamenting (ok, crying) to DH about how utterly frustrated I am, he (as always) was so logical. He said "we're definitely being tested right now," and I thought, yes, this is true. I just reflected and wrote a post about not being afraid, and there I was fearful about the future, fearful about waiting.  I was humbled. I say that I will try not to fear and yet, just later that day, I fear. Like Peter denying Christ three times after he swore he wouldn't do it.  So we are being tested, in our lives and in our faith, because saying we are faithful is much easier than believing in that faith.

I am trying not to fear the waiting game--having DH by my side makes this a little easier :)

I do feel like God is testing us at times.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

Nowhere does it say that it will be easy, but we will be rewarded.
I'm sorry you're having a rough cycle. I'm right there with you. I haven't blogged much about my current cycle. I think I'm back on my period again. I have awful back pain and cramps. The nurse said it could be because of the cyst. Luckily I already had an appointment scheduled for tomorrow.

Is this your first real period since your surgery? The first one (or two) tend to be really bad for me following surgeries. I think it's partly the anesthesia that makes them worse.

Congrats on being accepted to grad school! You have so many changes going on. Best of luck with this cycle!

I can totally empathize ... the waiting is so difficult. Keep the faith - after all, each day of waiting is another day forward!
