Can other people use them? And, of course we would be sensitive as former infertiles. It's so hard to have that look on your face, like, You have NO idea what we went through. You want to wear a shirt or something. I hear that.<br /><br />I think it's great you are letting go of the meds.

I wonder why this experience was so much more fruitful.....although still fraught with angst! Nothing like sitting in the waiting room with pregnant women let alone hearing the heart beat monitor machine whacking away in the background!

I like to be informed: prepared for the worst, but hoping for the best outcome." Oh, this is so how we are. Totally how we are.<br /><br />I have to admit that getting the fridge empty of meds did help with our getting over a hump of "things being okay".Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23844104.post-79966853870133377382009-09-07T14:13:30.874-04:002009-09-07T14:13:30.874-04:00Good for you for recognizing that you are hanging ...Good for you for recognizing that you are hanging onto the meds as a safety net. Any pregnancy after IF is a daily balancing act of joy and fear...

The day I went in to have a shot to abort an ectopic pregnancy there was a woman in the office showing off her newborn baby. Even though she was probably a success story, it was the last thing I needed in a place where I can usually count on not seeing and PGs!!!!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02402367761816017469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23844104.post-21615193467531814602009-09-07T13:00:42.332-04:002009-09-07T13:00:42.332-04:00Thank you for the update!

I too will not fully exhale until the boys are safely in my arms- but when I feel optimistic, it is both liberating and panic- inducing.<br /><br />Your attitude is uplifting- I am inspired by YOU!
