Alright, ladies. We all know how stressful this TTC process can be. To counteract that feeling, let's talk about things for which you are grateful.
And.... Go!

Haha, but in all seriousness. I am grateful that my SO is totally down for this ride with me, I've been on some form of birth control since I was 15... so having all these hormones is a roller coaster. On days that I'm cramping or irritable or whatever, he literally tells me "it's ok, I know it's your hormones and not you". Can I keep him forever?

Today I am grateful for being able to be self-sufficient at such a young age. I am only 25, married, with a kid and a house. Around here, that's unheard of. So, I'm tooting my own horn and patting myself on the back for being strong willed and successful so far

Let's see. I mean, I feel like the obvious answer is H, who is amazeballs and I could go on and on about. I'm also thankful for my pups. They are the sweetest and just give so much love.
But I think I'll go with I'm thankful to live where I live. First of all, there is so much to do, and so much close by. Sports, art, culture, theater, history, it's got it all. Then it also has so much career wise - I love my job. But it's great to know that should something ever go bad with my job or I wanted to try something new, I live in a place that has tons of options. It's also a location that is close enough that we can see family, but no one is stopping by unannounced.

I'm thankful for everything DH does. Right now he's working full time and going to school full time for his Master's, which I know is hard on him. I'm also thankful for some time to myself today. I'm about to get a cup of coffee and a giant pastry to drown my TTC sorrows in.
Thank you for getting this started @BertieMeetsGertie

@kmalls sorry for the BFN
I'm going to jump on the (cheesy but true) grateful for MH train because he is really stressed and freaked out about IF and his job and life but he's still been helping rub the stress knots out of my upper back every night for the last week to help me chill out because he's awesome. I'm also grateful for where I live. It could be cheaper or closer to family, but it is seriously gorgeous this time of year and I'm digging it.

First, I am grateful for where I am in life right now. If someone would have told me when I was younger that this is what my life would be in the future I do not think I would have believed them. Now I will continue the trend, because I do have to thank DH for helping get me to this point. He has always been so supportive and has really helped me to get through some really tough times that I don't think I would have been able to handle on my own. Finally, and this is where it gets really cheesy
, I am also grateful for the place I have found in this community. This is a rough process, and I am so happy that I have allowed myself to open up to such a wonderful, caring, and knowledgeable group of women who are experiencing this in real time as well. I may stay quiet around here sometimes, but I do hope you all know how much I appreciate this whole group. I can't imagine having to make it through this journey without you ladies, so thank you.
And now here I go, tearing up at my desk for the second time today
