Hug
I wanted to send you a big hug and let you know I am thinking of you *hugs*
Hug
You and I are in the same boat. I'm 38 also and am just realizing that my dreams of children will not come true. It's a tough thing to realize but once I've accepted it, I've been a much happier person. I can feel the stress draining from my body! Anyway, I wanted to say I'm proud of you for realizing that not having children isn't as bad as it seems.
Moment of Peace
Thank you for the support...i'm really nervous right now with only 7 eggs and no saying what the quality is...just keeping my chin up..and trying to think positively. You sound super busy lately...hopefully things will settle down soon ..especially after you tackle your mile long to-do list! The weather is getting nice...get out and have some fun...you've earned that!!

Hug
Best of luck to you too!!!
I’m With You
I could relate to your comment on the IF group. After going through 5 IUI's and a miscarriage my last attempt is IVF, but if the IVF is not successful my DH and I decided not to proceed any further. I thought about adopting too but the cost and time is too much. I'm willing to accept whatever the outcome will be and move on. Good luck on your new journey. Best wishes!
