*I'm thankful that my daddy is coming to visit today! I haven't seen him since Thanksgiving.
*I'm thankful that DH doesn't have to go recruiting now this weekend, so he'll be here for my dad's visit, even if it means he'll be spending the next two weeks recruiting in Cali.
*I'm thankful that I have tomorrow and Monday off. Yay for a 4 day weekend!
*I'm thankful I'm the only staff person in the office this morning (community service day today, everyone else is doing theirs this morning, I'm doing mine this afternoon) because it means I'll have peace and quiet from my idiotic co-workers.
~ I am thankful that tomorrow is the last day of summer school and that I have a little bit of time to myself to sleep in and get some things done around the house.

Stopped BCPs December 2008
TTC since June 2009
6 unsuccessful Clomid cycles
Dx Annovulatory due to PCOS January 2010
DH-perfect
4 unsuccessful IUIs
Began Lupron July 7 for first IVF
IVF cancelled; overstimulation and coasting lead to huge drop in E2
New testing with an Endocrinologist...perhaps a new diagnosis...
So, not PCOS but Hashimoto's Thyroiditis November 2010
After a looong break, started seeing a new RE. Gearing up for IVF 1.2.
Beta 1=197!!
* I am thankful for all of you. I have learned so much and have gotten through this experience much easier thanks to everyone's support. I am also thankful that I live a life that offers me the opportunity to pursue treatments, and to communicate on a computer with people I have never actually met, and that I can see doctors who are well trained (supposedly). And I can do all of this anytime I want to.

* I am extremely thankful for the close friends I have from this board. It's funny to think that some of you know more personal things than friends I've known for 15 yrs. You hold my hand and push me to keep going. And of course you keep me occupied on a boring work day

I am thankful for my sister. She has been so wonderful being up here and going to appointments and taking stims all for me. I am so very blessed to have such a wonderful giving sister.

It empties today of its strength. ~Corrie ten Boom
Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow. ~Mary Anne Radmacher (thank you beadinglady)

I'm thankful for the Farmer's Market tonight. I'm getting a slice of Mississippi Mud Pie and a Jerk Chicken Wrap!!!
I'm thankful my hubby has stopped complaning about having to take the doxy and having to do another SA. He can be a big baby sometimes!
I'm thankful that as awful as IF is, it has brought my sister and myself a whole lot closer. She has been so supportive and just wonderful. We have had a rocky relationship in the past and now, our relationship is just perfect!!!
