I really this this board is missing check-ins so I'm going to jump in and start a new one.  If anyone else would like to start something you should!!!!!  We've had lots of grads over the past year and I would like to get to know everyone a little better.


So.....

What are some things that you are thankful for in your life today???

    I am thankful that I have such a wonderful group of girlfriends/neighbors.  Last night I was feeling down and I got some girls together last minute to drink a couple of trader joe's margaritas while our kids played together in the back yard.  We laughed for an hour or so, our kids went to bed a little too late, but I feel better today.

    I am also thankful that KIND bars are allowed on my diet.

    I have so much to be thankful for! I love this check in because sometimes I need a reminder of how lucky I am. I am thankful for my beautiful son, who I love to the moon and back, my wonderful and supportive husband, my family, our steady and flexible jobs, and my house that we bought 3 years ago.

    I am also thankful for the nice weather he starts today and goes for the next week. It is going to be beautiful, which for the northwest is a real treat! We are building a patio to have more outdoor space and I cannot wait to use it this summer!

    I love this idea too! I have also often felt that people are just popping in, getting answers and support on one issue, and then leaving without really contributing to or committing to the community here.

    I am thankful for modern medicine. Although I have learned things about my fertility that are hard and make me sad, there is peace in knowing my diagnosis and what our chances are. It is also amazing that we can get results after our miscarriages and our embies tested for (probable) health and again and deal with that information, as opposed to just going through miscarriage after miscarriage without answers.

    Me: 35 DOR - AMH 1.1 FSH 5.6

    March/April 2015 - Microflare IVF protocol with HGH - 6 eggs, 6 mature, 5 fertilized (ICSI), 2 blasts for biopsy! 

    May/June 2015 - Microflare IVF protocol with HGH - 9 eggs, 6 mature, 5 fertilized (ICSI), 3 blasts for biopsy!

    I'm definitely not an expert in on-line communities, but I've been on TB for almost 2 years and I don't get it either.  Maybe other communities around support drive-bys more?  I feel like there has been a lot of this recently, and I wish people would be more sensitive to our safe place.

    Hi ladies! I love the idea of focusing on what we are thankful for! It is far to easy to focus on the negative during this journey!
    I'm incredibly thankful for my LO, my awesome neighbors who help babysit during my RE appts, my husband, my backyard (weird? I know, but I LOVE my backyard!!), my job, and my supportive friends and aquaintances who are eager to help listen or give advice!
