Dear Mr. Coffee,
I miss you and your services. I can not stop thinking about you, and I want to cry for what we used to have.
See, I know of lot of people who have gone through IVF and assisted reproduction methods and they have given up coffee and caffeine entirely. One blog I read she said she packed up the coffee pot all together when she was going through IVF. That made my heart hurt just a little bit, because no one should have to pack up their coffee pot. I mean, I'm ready to turn tricks in our alley just to have a sip, with CAFFEINE, not that crap ol' decaf people try to pass off as real coffee. But I am now on day three of not having you, and still counting the hours, minutes, seconds, since we were together.
As you can tell, going without my daily Dunkin' Donuts is making me cranky. Don't get wrong, in our past IVF cycles I have cut way down on coffee, maybe just having decaf and perhaps a diet coke in the afternoon. Not so this time. No cheating here. I've gone to the other side. I've been cheating on you with your archnemesis...TEA! Oh the horrors. While the tea is aromatic in its own right, and a little smoother on my tummy, it's not you. You are one of a kind. And dammit, I miss you so.
I just wanted to write you this letter to tell I miss you. And when this is all over in a couple of months or 9, we will meet again. I will drink you with my splenda and whipped cream (so so so freakin' delish if you've never tried it) with so much love and admiration. Until then, please turn a weary eye if you see me in the alley.
Forever yours,
Joelle

lol you are so funny!!! i have been so bad in that area too. for the first 2 trimesters i had NOOO caffine, but now in the third I am cheating all the time! it is crazy.
ReplyDeleteI totally feel your pain, I gave up caffeine about a week before starting IVF in October and am still caffeine free- and I am still craving it! It's doubly hard for me b/c I have huge coffee drinkers in my house- and the aroma is killing me!
ReplyDeleteStay strong, it will be worth it!
Coffee and I never had much of a relationship until I became extremely sleep deprived. Now I am so hooked if I try to break off the relationship he gives me killer headaches!! Ahhh, can't live with him, can't live without him.
