  Good luck! I did a couple of therapy sessions in the fall. Even though the councelor I saw was kind of a nit-wit, I still felt like it was beneficial. I think it's a terrific resolution!

  Good for you! I am a therapist so I'm a big believer in it, but I also have been seeing one for the past few months since we starting having TTTC.  It takes a lot of strength to go see one and sometimes it takes a few sessions to find a good fit.  Good luck!

  TTC #1 since 4/09
  2/21/11: IVF #1 Begins and results in TWINS!
  11/4/11: The twins are born at 36w4d!
  11/5/11: We said goodbye to our sweet baby girl as she was born with multiple complications and a severe heart defect, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.

  Congratulations! I think that is a wonderful New Years Resolution. Your mental and emotional health has a direct relationship to your quality of life. A Couple of years ago I had a bunch of bad things happen in my life and it was either therapy (which I had never done before) or have a nervous breakdown. I went to therapy for about a year and even got on anti anxiety pills for about 6 months. It was one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I always dreaded going to my therapy sessions having to deal with things but then felt so much better afterwards. It has made me better equipped to handle challenges that come up. This past year has been very difficult for me (not IF related) but it is in part because of the skills I learned in therapy that I got through it. Good Luck! Let us know how it goes. :-) Soory for the ramble...

  That is great that you are taking charge of your mental health. IF is seriously hard to deal with at times and I know you have been through so much.

   I can't wait for your Donor cycle!! I'm rooting for you and will be ecstatic to see two lines from you!

  Lots of luck coming your way!
