some words of inspiration

in Trouble TTC
A friend of mine just put this on facebook and it really resonated with me for both IF and NIFR reasons; just had to share!

Also, would love to hear if you all have received any kind words or seen similar things that really impacted you and helped during your journey. :)

Me:26 DH:27
Married Oct 2011
NTNP for about a year before actively 
TTC since April 2013
Currently testing for infertility cause and hormone imbalance.
Infertility & ovarian cyst diagnosis: May '14
B/W: 'good', more ordered to check antibodies & progesterone
SA: Normal :)
U/Ss for cyst: who the f knows
DH's cat scan: showed encapsulated fatty growth; u/s: didn't really show much more
Breast Specialist: Most likely a large fibroid, but keeping an eye on it, repeat u/s every 6mos 
HSG: clear tubes, uterus is A-ok
WHAT'S NEXT: DH's consult with surgeon to discuss next step for growth, either biopsy or surgery~Big discussion with Dr. before any possibility of starting Clomid, since I'll want another u/s before and to be monitored and he doesn't seem into that. I had to force his hand just to order the AMH test so may be looking for another OB
~All welcome :) ~
Cycle 3 of OPK; Cycle 2 (this time around) of Temping

    That is so true. And even though I've seen that truth play out in my life so many times, I'm still getting worked up <sigh>

    I've seen it in my career, I saw it with my marriage - I was in a similar place where I was a little older and all my college friends were married and starting families. I was really getting anxious and insecure and had a strong feeling of having a "void" in my life, just like I feel now. Of course once I met DH, all that worry was quickly all in the past and forgotten. Our marriage is definitely a super-sized blessing that was worth the wait!
