Do you ever re-visit these thoughts now? It might be interesting to give perspective to your life. Life is a series of mixed blessings & unwanted challenges. So many blessings have come your way! Do you even think about that? Gratitude is good for the soul. You are loved by so many!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688143330915009262.post-41585177132502046422010-02-10T08:28:40.686-08:002010-02-10T08:28:40.686-08:00I just found your blog on stirrup queen and wonder...I just found your blog on stirrup queen and wondered where you are in your journey.

You can read a little bit about me and my experiences in my blog: drhousewife.blogspot.com . I am completing a PhD in Counseling Psychology, and my dissertation is focused upon the impact of infertility on marriage. I believe strongly that there is a need for better support services for men and women who are undergoing IF diagnosis and treatment, and my hope is that this study will aid in the development of such services. <br /><br />I am contacting you after stumbling across your blog. I am recruiting participants for my study, and wanted to invite you and your husband to take part. All that would be involved would be the completion of an online survey, that would take approximately 20 minutes. All couples who complete the surveys will receive a voucher good for a pair of free movie tickets at a Regal Cinemas.<br /><br />Please let me know if you are interested by emailing me at UTInfertilityResearch@gmail.com . <br /><br />Best,<br />ElisabethElisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13706507649800009767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688143330915009262.post-87481935385306331022009-11-13T17:58:23.249-08:002009-11-13T17:58:23.249-08:00Gwynn, thank you so much for de-lurking and commen...Gwynn, thank you so much for de-lurking and commenting on my blog. Thank you for letting me know that you had a story I should read. I just finished reading it, and I must say, it was so beautifully written, so tragic, so beautiful, such a happy ending -- I am moved and touched. If an "s" shaped femur could simply be a bump, I have renewed hope that a short femur might not be short at all.<br /><br />And now I read your current post and find you just suffered a huge disappointment. I am so sorry. The fact that a beautiful follicle can grow without anything inside of it is just another of nature's mean and dirty tricks. I hope 6 is the lucky number.Best When Used Byhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252417951291793892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688143330915009262.post-39753916583880113832009-11-11T17:27:02.873-08:002009-11-11T17:27:02.873-08:00Empty follicle?

...Empty follicle? That just seems so unfair. Blah.<br /><br />I had to laugh at the pupu platter, though - I have also wondered what I haven't sampled yet, hoping that I don't get horrible complications down the road. There is definitely a macabre aspect to IVF, what with the grim statistics and the life and death of it all...<br /><br />Good luck with 6 - that is the number of cycles that most clinics recommend us oldies be willing to try, after all!Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180034761243431694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688143330915009262.post-32003741700931950192009-11-11T10:43:40.516-08:002009-11-11T10:43:40.516-08:00Oh Gwynn.

And I wish your "about me" didnt say that you were being a greedy person--you just want to give you heart and your soul what it wants--another baby. Keep the positive momentum when you can, and cry when you need to. Cuddle with the little guy. Just be.

I didn't even know that it is possible to have a follicle but no egg, and I'm so sorry that is what happened to you. <br /><br />I will keep my fingers crossed for better things for you with IVF #6. You have been through way more than anyone should have to go through with IVF. I'm sending a lot of hugs your way.Bucktown Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14391746051008200056noreply@blogger.com
