I feel like in the past couple of months I finally reached the summit and now I need to regroup and coast my wa...2 Recommendations16 Comments -
We did everything right that we could think of. DF worked so hard to get his counts up, I stopped most of my meds as hard as it was, I went on bed rest for five days, we talked to the embryos all the time, we prayed and prayed. I don't know what else we could of done different. This is just so unfair. I am so hurt and angry right now.

My tubes are coming out in the morning. I am sad and scared at the same time. Yes, I am sad that the tubes I was born with that were supposed to do their job and help me get pregnant will be removed, but I am even more upset about something else.
I realized why this all bothers me so much. It was many, many years ago when I was first told my tubes were no good and I would probably need IVF. I came...1 Recommendation18 Comments -
I had a nightmare about this and thought I would share. I dont really bring up my past much as I know alot of peeps here have been through worse.

When he was going to throw a lamp at me when I called the police on hi...9 Recommendations37 Comments

When my dad died, he left us some money and as it turns out, my brother blew through all of it, with the help of his greedy wife of course. She got a boob job.&nb...1 Recommendation13 Comments

This morning I woke feeling pretty bad. I didn't sleep well, had nightmares and was in pain. Since DF and I took today as a vacation day I decided to pop some migraine meds and turn on the TV. The story showing was of a couple who had done IVF, had five girls and were expecting a sixth child, their first son (not from IVF). As I watched her go into labor and deliver her child I wondered h...1 Recommendation14 Comments
