I'm grategul I had the strneght to continue even though he did not as sometimes we have to give 95% when our partners only have 5% left in them. <br />I too am grateful for my sweet pug who just sensed when I needed him a bit more and made up for the support when my husband was just too heartbroken to do it himself. I'm also thankful that doctors continue to study improved methods and dedicate their entire practice to getting us pregnant. Mine has been at it for 30 years and faced criticism, and worse, for simply trying to make me (and other patients) mothers. Hooray for his courage. Hooray that the first doctor who performed IVF was awarded the nobel prize this year and hooray for the process. For those of us who have little-to-no chance without it, I am so grateful that it exists.<br />Thank you for sharing the steps along the way - its an inspiration.blessedin2010https://www.blogger.com/profile/14053059081149365624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2306202511573901064.post-23034612748781055972011-01-31T19:41:46.117-08:002011-01-31T19:41:46.117-08:00FUUUUUUUUCK!

For an indulgence, I say burn something. Your protocol, your retrieval instructions, or a list of everything you think went wrong this cycle. Burn it and cry, then tell yourself all that shit is in the past, and yes it sucks, but god damn it, you WILL get the life you want, one way or a fucking other!<br /><br />For gratitudes, washing machines. I'm so grateful I don't have to wash the snot-and-tear stains out by hand.<br /><br />I know you don't want platitudes, but I don't know how to say "I'm here when and how you need me" without sounding cliche. It's true, though.Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335092755332310967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2306202511573901064.post-36469317191882939462011-01-31T16:30:24.577-08:002011-01-31T16:30:24.577-08:00Amen to the "no sorries" rule.
