Not getting political on here...
I will just put it out there and say that I did not love our last administration.
I did however read something Laura Bush wrote about dealing with infertility and it really hit home for me.
The English language lacks the words to mourn an absence. For the loss of a parent, grandparent, spouse, child or friend, we have all manner of words and phrases, some helpful some not. Still we are...
Timeline
Here is the new timeline for IVF2

A laugh...
So I have become pretty friendly with a reader of this blog. She does not have a blog. She emailed me a few months ago and we talk multiple times a week - novel length emails about everything. She found my blog when searching for people like her going through infertility. She eventually got pregnant via IUI and is expecting a little girl!!!! :)
This girl and I have a very similar sense of humor....

Now we begin
Thanks for all the awesome comments on G’s post below. He liked writing it and I loved reading it. In fact, I highly recommend having your husband write out a little something as to how he is feeling and how this stuff is affecting him. It will help him feel better and it is awesome to read. We are really great at communicating our feelings but seeing it in writing was different for some...
A word from the husband....
So Gary decided to write his post from his perspective. It is quite long but he want to make sure he got everything down. I hope you enjoy!
So, the saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is one of those sayings that to me never really truly meant anything and was nothing more than a cliché. Now, nearly two years after Amy and I started trying to have a baby those words couldn’t ring...
I actually have not recieved my protocol yet because I haven’t called them yet to tell them I am doing the pill. I know they are switching it up so I don’t get OHSS again but I am not positive of all the details yet.
I would also like to say at this time that if they do not put me on Follistim this time, I might know someone who would be possibly willing to donate 4 unused vials to...

maybe
I floated the idea of my husband writing a “husbands perspective on IVF” guest post to him and he is going to think it over.
He is a much better writer then I. I am not a writer - I am a hormonal, depressed woman going through IVF who needs a place to word vomit. Two totally different things. Anyways, he is so sensitive, funny and positive. I think it would be a good time.
