A new beginning...

I am trying to frame the news that my FSH has climbed to a high of 21 and my wonderful, hopeful doctor saying, "You can't get pregnant without help." in the most positive way possible. 

I knew going into my appointment today that I need a treatment break. 

Almost nine years of the IF struggle has worn me down and I knew in my heart that I was spent. 

I am look forward to finally finishing our homestudy. 

I am looking forward to having something else besides my broken body to focus on.  

Please Lord, give me strength.

    This is such hard news. I'm so sorry. Cry as much as you need to. Then work on that homestudy, you will be a mom.

    I know all about finishing a home study...since I've given up the med treatment plan myself and have been focusing on adoption...I feel so much better..mentally and physically. It's almost a huge relief. I don't have those monthly expectations or wonderings. I know you get it. Praying for you!

    I'm so very very sorry. I'll keep you in my prayers... for a peaceful surrender to His will, and for your (however tentative) next steps...

    Prayers and hugs! (With extras of the hugs - well snuggles - from my cat.) I hope that this treatment break becomes a restoring time for you.

    Sometimes really bad news gives you the freedom not to be shackled any longer to a hopeless hope. Doesn't mean it isn't hard to hear, but I find that in not trying any more, there is a surprising peace. I hope this is indeed the start of a new and fruitful journey for you both.

    Oh JB. Prayers for you. Adoption can be just that -- so freeing. SO very lifegiving for everyone. I cannot WAIT to see what is ahead.

    We've said it before, and I'll say it again. In the absence of any hope for myself, I hold tight to the understanding that we are each other's hope. The last 2 standing after nearly double the amount of time of our once-comrades... I still have all the hope in the world for you, and it comforts me to know you carry the hope for me :)
