Go Back Never

Went to V for buying totally non-sexy nightgowns today.

(What's so noteworthy about that?)

The last time I had gone there was in 2008, at the end of my fourth and final IUI cycle.

Bags in hand, I was making my way to the parking lot, when I thought that I felt some moistness down under.

(Huh, it must all be that standing for long.)

My periods had arrived.

Today, I was there, and constantly thinking of that one moment when I realized that my periods had arrived and how deeply frustrated I was.

But now, I am prepared. AF is expected in a couple of days. And I am mentally ready to welcome her. In fact, an alternate scenario will actually catch me by surprise.

  1. isnt it just amazing how places and shops become memories of cycles and disappointments (and joy)? ugh.

    I hope that in the not too distant future you're back there buying sexy maternity nightgowns... (was that an oxymoron?)...

    Would be nice if AF stayed the fuck away!
