Guess it\'s a Crule Joke..
I'm shocked, beyond saddened, slightly numb, having fits of anger, and wondering where I'll find the fight I am so tired. I can’t believe I even manufactured those symptoms, I must be out of my mind. I mean come on. Even the “night sickness” that my mother had and hadn’t even remembered until I was having it. The clumsiness that I had even realized could be a sign. I did one hell of a bang up job fooling myself and everyone else around me, nurse included. I did everything I could, and I lost all the embryo’s and have nothing to show for it but a terribly puffy face and equally sad husband. DH was wonderful by the way, yet another day where I thank god I waited for him. Left work came home let me cry, then tucked me in on the couch for a nap and when I woke up suggested we get dressed take a drive up to Newburyport, although I was a little hesitant but we went. He indulged me with going to a couple of my favorite shops there; a soap store bath products hand cut/made soap etc, and a fragrance bar, normally he waits out side if I go into somewhere like that, nope he came in with me and we stiffed everything and I picked up so good smelly stuff. I’m such a girl, smelly stuff makes me feel better. The we took an albeit cold walk on the beach where we were close to the only people, then went and stuffed ourselves at a Thai restaurant, one of our favorite places. Came home took and nice hot shower with some of my new smelly stuff and we just relaxed on the couch for the rest of the evening. Amazing he managed it make one of the crappiest days of our lives, bearable. I’m having a bit of trouble believing I’ll find the fight. I will I have to. I know it’s now over, I just so hoped this part was. So now it’s another waiting time….the 28th we have an appointment with my RE to discuss what I can only assume will be taking care of the Hydro and therefore the surgery we were hoping to avoid. In the meantime I’m tried to find the silver lining and figure out what I can do with myself that might make what will inevitably be more freaking torturous time before we can try again. So far, get back in shape – start taking my yoga class again, walking now that the weather is breaking, Study and take the test for my Realtor’s License – took the course last year and just haven’t gotten to it yet, considerate on my garden – my seeds are at least growing pretty well so far, and plan a summer vacation – nothing huge but a getting.

I am so sorry. I know the words mean very little. I did that con job on myself 2 cycles ago - it is truly devastating. Last cycle I had NO hope. Gotta find the balance. Your fight will come back...it always does. Sounds like you have a good plan of distraction and you\'ll smell good!
Thinking of you.
I am so sorry. I understand the pain you are feeling all too well. My body tricked me with night sickness and other symptoms. I guess it was from the progesterone and estrace. I wish there was something I could say to take the pain away, but I know can\'t. I can tell you that in time, the pain will become less then it is now and you will find the fight you need deep inside you.
Going back to Yoga and trying to keep yourself busy is a good plan. I too seemed to pack on a bunch of weight the last few cycles. I am now trying to get it off before another one.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
i am so sorry.i know exactly how you feel. i thought i was going to die when my IVF failed 6 weeks ago. there was no consouling me.I am just now starting to smile and not cry everyday. sounds like you have a wonderful DH and that makes all the difference in the world. when i just wanted to lock my self up in the house so i wouldn\'t see any reminders of our failed cycle he coaxed me out slowly and made me want to be human again.It will take some time to move on, it doesn\'t happen overnight. Take your time and heal. You mentioned a vacation, do it by all means.If your next one works you and DH may not get anothet vacation for a while.I planned a cruise that we leave on in 12 days before our next step (FET april 30)it is only 4 days lond but we both need a break from the cold weather and sadness before we will be ready to move on.sounds like you have a good plan in place with the exercise and the realtor test. gotta stay busy to keep the sadness away.good luck to you and DH with whatevevr your next next may be.
I\'m so sorry for you. I\'m so glad you have a wonderful DH. Keep yourself busy and get back to yoga. It helped me with 2 BFNs. My thoughts are with you.
I cannot even tell you how sorry I am. I dont understand why your body tricks you like that, mine has done it so many times. Your DH sounds like a wonderful man, he obiviously loves you so much. You deserve time to let your heart and mind heal themselves a little. I think the vacation idea is maybe just what you need. I am heartbroken for yor and ALWAYS here if you need a shoulder.
I\'m so very sorry. I\'m here if you need me.
I\'m so, so sorry! It\'s sounds like you have a wonderful, supportive husband. Hugs
