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.

  4. 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!

  9. 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.

  12. 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.

  14. 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 :)
