I had a shitty day too and am feeling the effects of sadness seep in... sadness over how long we've been at this, sadness that I can't be happy for others, sadness that I can't see the beauty in my current life without a baby... so so so crappy. I wish I had comforting words for you - all I know is that it will be ok in the end.

But I think you are right- you'll see it through and if the FET doesn't work, you'll have your answer. In some way, you'll be a mother. It just may not be the way you expected. <br /><br />The song sent me over the edge too.<br /><br />Love you girl. You are such an incredible friend and support. xoxoHer Royal Fabulousnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008723588326617669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-61135893114200895152012-05-11T13:39:57.764-07:002012-05-11T13:39:57.764-07:00Cristy I really hope that this FET proves you to b...Cristy I really hope that this FET proves you to be wrong and that you do get a healthy baby out of it but I know what can and will go wrong at times all too well.

I believe deep down in my heart that you will be a mother and I really loved this statement:<br /><br />"You see, I really do believe that this is not our route. I think I've been feeling this way for awhile, but the pregnancy announcements last month following this most recent miscarriage has really driven this point home. Because it shouldn't be this hard. Building a family shouldn't be such a source of pain"<br /><br />Because you have hit a point that I want to hit honestly. I wish I could accept my fate the way you have.

All of this is hard, and the drugs make it worse, they really do. <br /><br />I have a lot of hope for you. Your miscarriage was early, and may not have been because there is something wrong with your body. You've had so much loss, though, it's hard to not prepare yourself for the worst. I know.<br /><br />You are strong. You can do this. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and we'll cross each bridge as it comes.sass @ (In)fertility Unexplainedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322070279032931788noreply@blogger.com
