I'm not sure what my body is doing. I stopped temping out of frustration and my RE is being less then cooperative! Sorry to post a pointless vent. I just needed to get it out!

I hear ya on that. I've had four losses, and I don't think I could even feel good about a bfp at this point, until a baby is born and in my arms. I know it's trite, but time really does help me get some perspective. Once the grieving has lessened somewhat, I find that I do re-focus on what I really want. DH hates to see me go through loss after loss, and I think he would gladly give up right now not to have to go through the risk of loss again. But I keep asking myself, will I regret it in a few years (when it really is too late age-wise), if I give up. For me, the answer is yes, so I keep plugging along. I just know that I have to do what I can to either have another baby, or know that I did everything I could. But that is just my situation. You just have to figure out what you are willing to bear! Just give yourself some time to get some distance from what you just went through. It's so hard when it is fresh. I hope that all doesn't sound too "advicey."
And I hate the RE "just wanting to talk" thing! Ugh!
