But at least it gives you a semblance of control over something which you know you have absolutely no control over.<BR/><BR/>Keeping my fingers crossed, and I have been thinking about you a lot lately. In fact, at your suggestion, will be sharing some of my own experiences over in my minute corner of the blogosphere. Not nearly as eloquently or hilariously as you have; but bit by bit anyway. <BR/><BR/>And when we were TTC, I came this close to packing a hot poker with me to stab anyone in the eye who ever suggested that I needed to "relax".

I began pissing on them on Day 10 I believe and was so worried when it didn't happen around CD 14ish! So, women's cycles can do some pretty screwy things. Hopefully, on CD 11 you made your baby! I was reading in People magazine this week about a fertility story and the books that were recommended in the article were called: "Inconceivable" and "The Infertility Cure." Also a website called fertileHOPE.org <BR/>Maybe you've heard of these and maybe you haven't but I thought of you when I read the article....much love and luck to you and ET!AnnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629045924136272980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753223694881775789.post-89248578045003371882008-05-26T00:06:00.000+01:002008-05-26T00:06:00.000+01:00I will give you a very manly high five or headbutt...I will give you a very manly high five or headbutt in recognition of the fact that you <I>cannot, will not, and must not</I> relax.

Um... maybe that's where you're going wrong. *sniggers*<BR/><BR/>I AM going to tell you to relax; at the risk of being cyberpunched in the pancreas. Stressing out about infertility cannot help. Yeah, yeah... easier said that done, but both your bodies are being put through the wringer. Stress will not help.<BR/><BR/>Take time to remember why you want this kid in the first place. That silly thing of loving each other and thinking that the other person is the type of person you want to have a kid with.<BR/><BR/>Relax, tell ET you love her for more than her uterus, and show her in that special way.

I came to the States from Scotland for a 6-month hiatus and life got in the way of my plans. I met my husband and we were married just over a year later. I've been here nigh on 8.5 years now.<BR/><BR/>We too, struggled with infertility for two years before we gave up and went and saw someone who knew what they were taking about. We have two little boys now and I endeavour every day to never take it for granted.<BR/><BR/>I know how frustrating it can be, and how something so intimate can become a task and a major pain in the arse. I'd never say 'relax', hell no, not even a 'stop trying to try'. Good luck at the specialist.
