I know you've stopped in to see me, so if you're feeling up to it, I'm sure there are others too that would love an update on how you're doing ... but if you're not feeling up to it, that's ok too. I support you either way ;-)<br /><br />Big hugs,<br />PollyPolly Gamwichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09338430066217324064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104672783949108460.post-21875804384303714022009-03-23T07:44:00.000-07:002009-03-23T07:44:00.000-07:00Thinking of you as you take these first difficult steps towards your new life. <BR/><BR/>I know you may not feel it, but I think that you're being incredibly strong through all of this.Ms Heathenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06404067891155971103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104672783949108460.post-58175299197737496902009-03-21T05:43:00.000-07:002009-03-21T05:43:00.000-07:00I'm so proud of you and think you are doing the best thing you can do to heal and move on to the next exciting chapter of your life.<BR/><BR/>Good luck and keep us posted!<BR/><BR/>JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104672783949108460.post-27642938745260341002009-03-20T23:23:00.000-07:002009-03-20T23:23:00.000-07:00Polly - NO, your feelings do not seem strange to me at all. You have been through so much more than enough heartache on your journey. In your shoes I'd need to plan for the possibility of reaching my limit, too. I simply hope that your relative youth gives you the edge you need (and I realize you're facing unique-to-you challenges that perhaps the REs haven't quite mastered) to make all your efforts pay off so that you don't need to move on. I know it counts for something in this game, and I just want you (and Tara, and others) to benefit from it!Lisahttp://www.infertileground.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104672783949108460.post-46171910286356891022009-03-20T21:22:00.000-07:002009-03-20T21:22:00.000-07:00You are doing a great job, whether you think so or not. How are you suppose to get to where you need to, if you don't stumble? The important thing is you ARE getting back up. That, my friend, is amazing. Keep up the great work!<BR/>*HUGS*Beautiful Messhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02425541240465474148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104672783949108460.post-62568486477503706412009-03-20T18:32:00.000-07:002009-03-20T18:32:00.000-07:00You go girl.

I think about that though ... will there need to be that day? The day I move on? <BR/><BR/>I know it must seem strange to you, given that I'm so young. But honestly, b/c I have miscarriages and at some point I'm going to want to stop having miscarriages and keep having sex - I've actually considered doing something permanent to stop reproduction (the ultimate irony) ... but I simply can't see myself taking BCP's or temping all my life - it would be daily reminders of what's not ... whereas a surgery would seal the deal. <BR/><BR/>So although I seeminly have 9+ years to TTC, I'm not sure I'll emotionally make it that far. But now I'm definitely putting the cart before the horse.<BR/><BR/>Just wanted to say I'm proud of you - it can't be easy.Polly Gamwichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09338430066217324064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104672783949108460.post-4556748283952373812009-03-20T17:05:00.000-07:002009-03-20T17:05:00.000-07:00It is nice that you had friends over.

I need to stay away from estrogenics, whether I'm TTC or not.<BR/><BR/>Hope you don't mind my saying that it's striking (to me) that it might read to anyone as though I've "come out the other side"!<BR/><BR/>Although I'd rate myself as "doing okay in the big picture," I'm VERY MUCH in the throes of trying to move on from the old life (which was built on the seemingly humble, reasonable dream of the life I wanted for myself). In fact, I'd say I haven't even scratched the surface of understanding what the new life will look like beyond the next few weeks/months. I'm functioning, sure, but definitely still fumbling around, stubbing my stupid toes, and making it all up as I go along.Lisahttp://www.infertileground.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104672783949108460.post-82242166867936192012009-03-20T12:51:00.000-07:002009-03-20T12:51:00.000-07:00LOVE that David Bowie, my over-the-years favorite.<BR/><BR/>just want to say, in spite of a crying jag you sound like a person who really has come out the other side. Here I am, eying that possibility and wondering if it wouldn't just be nice to go back to dinner parties and cocktails out with my girlfriends...<BR/><BR/>Can I ask which supplements turned out to be harmful? I know that DHEA can be bad if you don't have low testosterone, but I hate to just assume that's what you mean.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, from a still-in-the-throes gal...Lorrainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04180034761243431694noreply@blogger.com
