I guess I should just be glad that I went for 28 days before AF showed up, but I was just starting to get hopeful. It seemed so very much like the last time I was PG. I am so, so, so crabby (way more than my usual PMS), my boobs are sore, etc.
Still I just saw a spot of red and we all know what that means. I'm totally bummed out, mainly because I was foolish enough to get my hopes up.
This last weekend my little guy was playing with our friend's little girl and they were having so much fun together. He's so social and really loves other kids, I just ache to give him a sibling.

I'm so sorry. I don't know if this makes you feel any better but I do know exactly how you feel. Have wonderful DS who just turned 2 and my whole body aches for another one because he is just so wonderful. Each month I get my hopes up only to be crushed all over again when AF rears her ugly head. Mine should be here Saturday. I wish I could make you feel better. The only thing I can say is I try to give myself one day to feel bad and then the next day I force myself to move on. Much easier said than done and doesn't always work. Today I actually teared up when a woman in a car next to me pulled up beside me and I saw her three little ones sitting in their car seats in the back. So cute. How pathetic am I?

Well, if you're pathetic, I am too! I've been very weepy over this myself. Thanks for commiserating. And there's no chance that I'll ever do IVF or even an IUI, both my husband and I feel that we don't want to head down that path---too much heartache. So if my ovaries don't magically cooperate one last time, it's not going to happen. I hope that I can come to terms with it if it doesn't happen.

You really do. How old is your DS? DH and I are having the exact same talks. If I'm getting so emotionally invested in IUI's, how in the world can I survive the disappointment of IVF? Not to mention the cost as we self pay. We actually conceived DS on a down cycle right before IVF in 05. It took two years to get him which included 4 iui's, 1 surgery and got pg on a natural cycle. Going back to the clinic for bloodwork and monitoring brings me so down I think maybe it would be best just to try naturally. I wish I had the strength to press forward but at the same time I wish I could let go too.... I hope you start feeling better soon.

My DS is 18 months old. I breastfed him until 14 months and have never used birth control.

Yeah, we just can't do IVF or IUI. It's too stressful, expensive and just brings me to a very bad place. I mean, if I was sure it would work, I'd be happy to do it, but knowing that I might very well not conceive makes it just unthinkable.

I conceived naturally last time after 2 years of trying and 1 IUI but now I'm 35. My FSH was 20 when I was 31, I can just imagine what it is now!!!

Still, there's a part of me that still has hope. Maybe I'm like a brown bear and I only ovulate once every 2 years...Heh.
