I just wanted to say that I know how hard today can be for you all, and I just wanted
to give you all a and say that it WILL happen and I hope and pray that
those who are getting ready to cycle will be able to celebrate like CRAZY next year.
I couldn't have said it any better Stacie!!! You are all in my thoughts today ladies. Unfortunately, we all don't know how long our journeys will be, but it will happen. Sending big cyber hugs to you all!
Thanks to all of you....I'm getting teary now....I'm hanging in there but this day is hard. We have to give dsd to her "real" mother on this day every year even though it's during our visitation time, so it ends up being dh and I alone in our empty house.
I hope and pray we're all celebrating next year!
BTW, does anyone else get choked up by the Mother's Day commercials? I feel so silly but what I wouldn't do to have a moment like that of my own....
Take care ladies....

Thankfully, I did not feel as bad as Renee (and I am sure many of the ladies did) on mother's day, I do feel frustrated and angry and disappointed from time to time. Sure enough all the unfairness of it makes me want to scream in anger and frustration. We get that BFP but not a sticky bean.
I would go ahead and adopt today, atleast start the process, but I will have to wait for two years before we can do that even.
However, exercising and watching what I eat has improved my mood considerably. Hey who knows, we might try again in a few months.

Meenu, I'm glad that excercising and eating right has helped you get through this. I think the decision for me to make an effort to do that as well is what sent me over the edge...........lol..........I never realized how much chocolate and chips has been helping me through all this.......but I'm still making an effort to behave.............Lord knows where I find the strength, but I do.....I still amaze myself that I can actually get out of bed somedays becuase if i allow myself to fall apart.........I can do it VERY easily! Saturday was a BAD day for me, Sunday I picked myself up and had a great day with my mom and the family. I guess we'll all go through our 'spurts'. None of this is easy......
I wish you continued luck in your journey. And for all the rest of you ladies waiting for that BFP as well

I totally hear you about the chips and chocolate! I am addicted to both. I think that my mood has improved because I have put ttc on hold till further notice. I am just concentrating on myself and not thinking (trying hard) about ttc.
I agree, both at the same time did not work for me!
I also needed to do this because I have gained a ton of weight. That is not good formmy pcos, endo and mainly ttc success. So for me one hting at a time is how it will work.
Goodluck for your next cycle. I will be keeping up with it.
