Lucky, I am TOTALLY with you. In fact, two days ago I phoned our local boys and girls club because I feel like I have this energy that needs to be expressed towards kids. I "think" i might want to volunteer to be a big sis. I'm waiting for them to call me back. I want to know what kind of comitment it involves. Anyway, I want you to know that I am right there with you!!!

I did the same thing last Sunday, (big sister program) I'm so sorry we all have to feel this way. I completly agree and feel the same pain as all of you. who knew it would be this hard. DH and I have talked and decided we will not proceed with anything if he is also a carrier of cystic fibrosis. We couldn't bare seeing our child have that kind of disease. Which I am praying he will not be, because I will be devestated. I'm so sorry we all have to go through this, it makes me sad just thinking of all the pain we have to go through

OMG Lucky, I know exactly where you are coming from. My craziest dream: going shopping with my little one with me in the shopping cart! Crazy, huh? I have no energy at nights after work. Can hardly get it together enough to cook dinner, clean up, do laundry. I know exactly why, too. I don't see any point right now. I could have a beautifully clean house---but for who? It all seems so pointless right now. I completely agree: I just want to come home, and feed and bathe my child. Snuggle a little (a lot!) and create a bedtime ritual. Everything else in life feels so meaningless without it. One way or another, we'll all eventually get there. But this ache in the meantime is relentless.

Thank God I am not losing my mind. I've had this strong desire for the last few months. I just didn't know if it was ok to feel that way. There are a million and one things I wish I was doing rather then coming home and doing the same old thing every single night. I'm tired of it being about me. I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and help raise a child. Play outside, take a walk with the dogs and a stroller with the little one exploring the world. I started picking up little things here and there for a baby. Not a lot by any means but I bought a pacifyer at the store the other day. I have a few onesies. I keep them in the guest room tucked away but still it satisfies the urge. I am so relieved to know that I am not the only one feeling this way. I will try and be more positive. It's just hard when you feel like life is simply passing you by. I feel like a prisoner in my own body. I tried to talk to DH yesterday about IVF and he was not receptive at all. Both our families are well off and would gladly help us out if they knew we were considering it but DH will have none of that. I cried all day long yesterday. I'm trying to find a part time job in addition to the full time one I have now to raise the money we need for invitro. I made this decision yesterday. I will bank all of the money from the part time job and work weekends. I don't care. It will make me feel like I am making progress. Gotta run. Hugs to you all!

Hey guys! cd 28 today and I believe ad is on her way in. For once I am so happy she is here. I start clomid on cd2-6 and start using my opk's on cd10. Once I get my surge I go in the next morning for iui. So I have two weeks until the big event. I can't wait. Bina - Good Luck with your retrevial. You will have fertilized eggs in you by the end of the week. Yeah!!! Diem - I am so sorry you are so down **HUGS** It must be so hard to go through everything you have. We are here to listen and give support. Lucky - You are not losing your mind either. I feel the same way. I can't wait for the diaper dutie and 2am feedings. Dh and I were talking last night about breast feeding and how I will have to get up every 3 or so hours to feed. I am ready for it. Bring it on!!! TWhit - I am so happy they are jump starting your cycle. Lets get the show on the road!!! Newmommy - So sorry dh is sick. That always makes things difficult. Your temps look great!!! I hope your cyst goes away and you can start clomid. SaintRose - Sorry for your loss. It will happen for you. It will happen for all of us. ~~~~~~~BABY DUST~~~~~~

Hi guys! Well, I'm up from my 4 hour nap today! I guess I was a little tired. The retrieval went great and I have 4 eggs. Kind of a little disappointed that it's only 4, but who knows all 4 could fertilize. They will call me tomorrow and let me know, then probably at Thursday transfer. It was the easiest procedure ever! DH was stayed in there will be the whole time and saw everything. I was only out for about 5-7 minutes. I feel no pain at all now. Definitely better than the lap surgery. Just think the sperm and the eggs are meeting up for the first time as we speak! Lucky-I'm sorry you are feeling down-we are all here for you. No thoughts are crazy thoughts and we are all entitled to feel how we feel. I know we will all have our time as moms-just wish we had a crystal ball to see exactly when that time would be. How comes DH is so against IVF? I never dreamed I would have to go through this, but it actually hasn't been so bad. A few meltdowns with me giving myself the shots was the hardest. Newmommy-My DH is a state trooper and rides around his whole 12 hour shift so the guys are kind of squished. I was a little disappointed because it seemed we had a really low volume this morning for the sample, but the lab didn't say anything, so I guess it's okay. DH's aren't wired like we are, so they will probably never feel like we do and have that strong internal desire. They will never be pregnant so they just don't have that instinct. They can be supportive, but a place like this is a good way to vent. It definitely will happen. (((HUGS))) to you all!

Hi guys, I know I disappeared, but I come and read on how you guys are doing every so often. I have to admit that is kinds hard to do this because I feel like I don't belong here anymore. I don't visit other sites or posts just this one, but I feel like me being here is more hurtful to some of you who should be right here with me, but unfortunately are not. I really hope I'm not hurting anyone. I care so much about you guys like I know you in person. I hope and pray for your bfps and I want to be here to celebrate it with you. Lucky don't feel angry with your body, sometimes we just need a little push and everything works fine. I did an IUI with injectables and that did the trick. I was scared about the expenses and the pokes, but now I feel it was all worth it. Don't be scared! IUI did help me and I hope it will help you, newmommy, and k8. Good luck guys!!!!! Bina, I'm so excited for you!!!!! You could be pregnant very soon. Good luck!!!! TWhit I totally understand your decision. It would be very hard to see your child suffering. I hope your dh is not a carrier so that you guys can have babies safely. Diem I really hope you'e feeling better. I feel so bad because we were so close together and now I don't even want to talk about my pg because I feel that it will make you sad. I apologize if I do. I don't want to and that is why I disappear because this way I'm not hurting anyone. SaintRose how are you holding up? I hope you guys find the answer for this problem soon. Pepes how was your apptm? Did you hear your baby's heartbeat? Let us know! I am 12 1/2 weeks. The morning sickness is still strong and the heartburn really burns!!!!Everything else is going great. I'll check back later! Take care!
