Not that I'm in a shining, wonderful mood. But amidst all the baby struggles, I need to remind myself to look for the positive stuff in my life. My husband, dogs, close friends who put up with me, DVR, sex for the thrill not for trying to make a baby, coffee, living near the mountains, and the fact I'm even able to see an RE/seek treatment. Who else?
I'm with you on that! despite not being able to conceive yet, I started a new job last month that has been absolutely amazing, my husband is finally off night shift (he's a deputy sheriff and was working 5:30pm to 5:30am-- I'm convinced that has made TTC even more difficult)... We have two amazing pupkids, and some close friends who have been an awesome support system. My OB also stays in close contact with me via text message to make sure I'm doing ok.. There's lots to be thankful for.. Now if only this 2ww could speed along!
I feel you there about spouse schedule. Mine works nights and goes to school. Hey, when it's time to BD, game on. I hate a 2 ww. I'm not patient by nature and being unable thus far to conceive has been tough! Wishing you luck a fast/successful 2 ww!
Oh definitely! Amen to being able to do IVF, I was telling dh just the other night. When we first found out we needed IVF back in 2008 I didn't think we would ever be able to afford it and now we've done a fresh cycle and 2 frozen, I wonder how many are out there in the same boat but don't have the ability to do it.

@dreambig1021 I'm sure we would benefit from IVF but don't think we'll do so. If we do it will be in a couple years. I'm 32 and have unexplained infertility. Our second IUI us coming up. I wish you lots of luck! It's awesome you were able to save and make that happen! GL!
So much to be greatful for!! First my health! This process of IVF discovered breast cancer ( now gone! ) and uterine polyps. My body has been given a facelift. Second, my wonderful husband, who tolerates me and loves me unconditionally. Third my family and amazing friends who has been very supportive, each in their own unique way. Fourth the fact that I am employed, have a career and I am financially stable. Fifth, my sweet little Yorkie that knows when to cuddle up extra close, because mommy can't stop crying! Sixth, the fact that my life has been hard, but I have overcome a lot, which has made me appreciate and be thankful for all the universe has given me so far. Seventh, having the basics (which we can take for granted) food, water, shelter and safety, which many many many people do not have as I write this email. And finally, the clarity I now have at 40 years old about motherhood which I did not have in my 20s or 30ths. And although this has been a roller coaster of emotions, I know I got this.
