TTC After a Loss

I am thankful

I'm trying really hard to be thankful for the little things in life. I've been finding it hard lately to be happy when the one thing I want more than anything seems so unattainable for me right now. But I know I have a good life and a lot of things to appreciate. So I've started a new challenge. I'm finding things in every day that I am thankful for and making a list of them on my blog. Some days are harder than others but so far I have added to the list every day.

I just wanted to share this and encourage you ladies to start something similar. It's hard but it is worth it and reminding me to appreciate each day. Smile 

Cheery post from me. My blog link is in my siggy if you want to check out my list. Now, tell me one thing you are thankful for today!

    Today I am thankful that I have learned to coupon.  It allows me to make delicious, well-balanced meals on a budget.

    Nice!  I am so impatient and never thought I could do it but it is amazing how much money we save now.   Yesterday we spent $22 on groceries but saved almost $70!!!  Most of the stuff we will eat but we got a few things to donate as well.

  • What a great idea! I have been having a rough week and a half.  I think this would be very helpful especially on those days when I think the world is against me.  Thanks you for the suggestion.  I am going to try this out.  Hopefully, this will help me get over those bad days and see the good in everything.

  • Honestly? I was really thankful to read your post. It's been great to see you so hopeful, and I hope the visit with your MIL went well!

    We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

    “So can you understand? Why I want a daughter while I’m still young? I wanna hold her hand and show her some beauty before all this damage is done. But if it’s too much to ask, it’s too much to ask … Then send me a son.” – Arcade Fire
  • I think that's a fabulous thing to do!

     

    I am thankful for getting to spend time with my family yesterday. We don't all get together as much as we'd like to and it was a great day.

    Lots of testing, all clear with the exception of compound heterozygous for the MTHFR mutation. 

    Cycle 1: Femara, trigger shot, Bravelle added due to slow response = BFN
    Cycle 2: Cancelled due to two cysts =(
    Cycle 3: Femara, Bravelle, trigger shot and IUI = BFP then loss #3
    Cycle 4: Femara, Follistim, trigger shot and IUI = BFP!  EDD: 6/7/14
