John brought me home a box of chocolates on Saturday, not to say "I'm sorry you aren't pregnant" but to say "I'm sorry you're feeling sad because you're not pregnant". What a star :)<BR/><BR/>Leslie - I have to say the same thing about our relationship. The whole experience, particularly the miscarriages brought us closer in a way I wouldn't have thought possible. Probably because we were the only people who really "knew" the babies we lost, even though we never got to meet them.<BR/><BR/>PIB - Let's hope the odds are in our favour.<BR/><BR/>Sarah - Thanks!<BR/><BR/>WFI - I showed your comment to John the other day and he was well chuffed. Thanks for saying that.<BR/><BR/>Fruitbowl - Thanks for dropping by. It's always nice to see comments from new visitors. Hope things improve for you soon too.<BR/><BR/>Kim - Indeed!<BR/><BR/>Lisa - That's true about the longevity thing.

I can say that I know very much how you are feeling. It sucks! I have to keep trying so I can imagine there is part of you that feels that way too.<BR/><BR/>Remember, people are living longer than in the past, so that could potentially give you more time with your children than in the past.Lisa DGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02134785866812104866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140695418399989226.post-22438696365191243852009-03-02T07:42:00.000-08:002009-03-02T07:42:00.000-08:00I'm sorry things are so hard right now.

Although I am early 30s my husband is 43 1/2 and I feel the tick of the clock for him. We have been 'trying' for more of our marriage than not and that takes a toll.<BR/><BR/>Keep your head up, odds are eventually we will get pregnant, right?BABY STEPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869922972057725214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140695418399989226.post-24930064037252071492009-02-27T12:37:00.000-08:002009-02-27T12:37:00.000-08:00It's hard to keep going - especially in the wake o...It's hard to keep going - especially in the wake of a failed cycle (which hasn't failed yet, mind you - it's not over until AF arrives!). I know what you mean about the brutal impact this all has on the first few years of marriage - it shouldn't be about all of this stuff that isn't so fun. But, I try to remember how close it's made us - there is no way we would be this close without the burden of infertility. It's never something I would have asked for, but I wouldn't trade the positive impact it's had on my relationship for the world. <BR/><BR/>Hang in there - you'll find the will to move forward. And, by the way, 40 is the new 30 - I don't give a damn what the statistics say! :)Leslie Lainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978669963745464690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140695418399989226.post-80469094981315444012009-02-27T09:29:00.000-08:002009-02-27T09:29:00.000-08:00..out to 'sea' of course.....out to 'sea' of course...Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11044403947730363259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140695418399989226.post-57208732581725975362009-02-27T09:28:00.000-08:002009-02-27T09:28:00.000-08:00ETs temp doesn't seem to drop until after her peri...ETs temp doesn't seem to drop until after her period's started.
