    Thank you!! I'm trying to stay positive. I have an appt Sept 13 with a reproductive specialist. Ultrasound and blood work and to discuss the next step.

    I don't want to adopt just a personal choice. My husband and I already discussed what we were willing to try. IUI would be the last resort. Our insurance pays nothing so its all out of pocket the IUI is 500 it doesn't always work the first time either I know one girl who had to do it 8 times before it finally took. Its stressful and emotional but if its ment to happen it will happen.

    It can be hard, that is for sure! I think it's fine to be happy for someone else but still feel devastated for yourself. For me personally, I have learned to feel my pain and deal with it even when it hurts, rather than bury it. If that means crying then yes go ahead. You gotta push right through it.

    My best wishes and hugs that things will work out for you!

    sending good thoughts, support and prayers your way. It's always though getting someone else's good news while going through a struggle together when things don't happen at the same time.

    Argh, I'm so sorry. Beyond all the personal heartbreak and disappointment, there's this ridiculous nosiness about a couple's (or woman's) fertility that hardly helps anything. My mother did not have trouble conceiving, but she had extreme trouble maintaining a pregnancy, and lost 9 children during gestation. While I did not have these troubles, when I was pregnant all I could think of was how painful it is for couples trying to conceive or maintain having to walk around in a world that idolizes pregnancy. I was constantly, painfully aware of how one person's source of joy can be another person's source of sorrow.

    It's totally fine to react as you did to your friend's news. It's fine to be happy for her, but saddened by her news.

    Sending good thoughts during such a very stressful time.

    Met with the fertility Dr yesterday. He gave me some hope and said that he's pretty confident that I can conceive on my own with a little help. He did a internal ultrasound which he said everything looked normal he didn't see any cysts or fibroids. Gave me a supplement to take along with my prenatal and ordered a bunch of blood work. I have to call them on the first day of flow and go in for another ultrasound they will then start me on clomid and I will go back in and they will give me an injection to onset ovulation so we can time it just right. This is what we are trying for now before we jump into IUI. Our insurance doesn't cover the IUI and its 1000 a cycle.

    “Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”
