Hi Girls,

Well today is CD13. Waiting to O, and I think it's coming soon. =) I have been drinking my teas, baby asprin, flax seed and wheat grass, and doing my Acupuncute apt's. (ouchie) So soon I'll be in my 2ww.

I am just looking forward to starting my injectables finally around Thanksgiving. Yipeeeee! I did go and look at the donor egg profile book at my clinic, but I really doubt it will come to that. I am doing my best to stay positive and hope for my miricle, inspite the
"less than 5%" speach my RE gave me. (don't we all know babies come from God anyhow, not he RE's! Dumb doctors, who are they to say that! Poop on them)

Lemur, Beti, Nancy and others here TTC, how is it going? Seems like the board has slowed a bit. I am thinking about you all and praying for you. =)

Have a great weekend and good fall seasos.

Love Donna

Ps: I read something the other day on a coffee mug,
it said, "Failure Is Not An Option". I love it!
I bought it to drink my teas from, and my herbs!

Donna,

I am so proud of you. You are truly an inspiration to me. I've been checking the boards, but have remained largely silent because I don't have a whole lot to say about what is going on with regard to ttc. I am in my two week wait, and I am moving towards the end of the ttc process. I don't plan to continue past this year. It is too draining emotionally and physically. If G-d means it to be, then it will happen. Otherwise, maybe I'm not meant to have a child.

Donna,

I'm so glad to see you s strong and postive. You are truly an inspiration to us all. I loved it when you said "God makes babies, NOT REs. I believe that your great attitude and unconditional faith will help you with this whole process. I'm so excited for you and who knows what the new year will bring us. I can't wait to hear about your experience with the injectables. What are the side effects?

I think that it is around CD24 for me. I started clomid 50mg days 5-9 this month. I hope that I get pregnant soon. I'm begginning to get very down as it gets closer to what would have been my due date (12/20). Dh and I have decided not to celebrate Christmas this year. It's very sad b/c we just bought our first house this August. My heart isn't into the holidays. I think back to what would have been if I was pregnant with a healthy baby. I hate TTC, it's truly a tough job. I used to enjoy making love to my husband, now we both feel the pressure of having sex when we're supposed to. I wish I was as strong as you.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Nancy

I hope you don't mind my posting. I think about you girls all the time. You are all very strong women and will get through this.

Donna, your point about God making babies really hit home for me. My favorite nurse at the clinic said that He was waiting for the time when the glory would be all his. Not mine or the Dr's, but His. I would not trade the last 4 years ttc for anything. His timing was perfect.

It will happen for all of you too.

Love,
Rhonda
