Opening A Door

"Not again!"  I threw a thermometer away and pulled my blanket over my head.  A hail of of abuse to myself woke up my partner in dismay. 

We don't have kids.  I have been checking my basal body temperature for a year.  But no good news has come.  My getting degrees, diseases, our changing jobs, moving, other family matters cut in our life.  Of course, nobody lives  a perfect and comfortable life without any worries.   However, we are not young now, helplessness is becoming bigger and bigger. 

He soothed me and said that we had to open a door.  I got to know what he meant : it's time to visit a gynecologist .  I hesitated.  My biggest worry is that medical checks will expose who's "guily" in sterility. I'm very afraid that the result may change the state of our relationship.   You may think that I 'm too pessimistic, however,  in fact, some of my friends lost their partners.

We went to a clinic.  While filling a counseling sheet with my partner, I got calm little by little.  We had an appointment of the first examination and came home.  I was able to breathe again.

Anyway, the first door was opened.
