"Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be so hard"

I just put my TTC timeline into the margin of my blog. Holy CRAP I have been through a lot. It's didn't really hit me until I began typing it all out. It's really difficult to read it all and think that it's me. It's my TTC life. What happened??? Why do I go to sites like this and think "why do they get to experience this and I can't?" Then I go to sites like Lori's, Heather's, and Coco's and know I am not alone in this. But I feel alone. I am sad, angry, hurt, fed up, and just plain tired.

I have my IVF cycle coming up in July. Josh and I decided to try one last natural cycle in May before that. I am on BCP right now because a) I am hoping it will tell my ovaries to produce next month, and b) my dr. forbade any activity for 6 weeks after my surgery, so we couldn't do anything anyway... I have also gone mostly organic with the exception of the occasional Cadbury Creme Egg because they are just delish and you can only have them at Easter...

I was perusing another infertility site earlier, she had quotes from the song "Scientist" by Coldplay. They really hit home for me, so I invite you listen for yourself.

I really do have a good feeling about you..seriously, I feel like this is it for you. You may even get pregnant when you stop the pill. That happened within a week of me stopping my bcp when I got preg with Noah - first time trying and bam! Now. . .I've been ttc for nearly two years and nothing! I'm going back on the pill as of Friday! lol - I think thats my only ticket. And if that doesn't work for you, the IVF surely will. .I just KNOW it.

Hugs, the roller coaster of infertility is a bitch. I too feel really positive for you and am very hopeful that this time next year will find you with your own bundle of joy.

Hang in there......
