As you may have noticed, I’ve dropped off in commenting and posting over the past few weeks. I think of you all and wish each and every one of my real life and imaginary internet friends 110% success in their family building.
In the last week I have been laid off, found out that I am ineligible for IVF at one of the top poor responder clinics in the nation, and handled two stressful personal matters. As an extra suck-tastic bonus, the day I lost my job I gained something in return: a very large traffic ticket. Interestingly, I don’t own a car, hardly ever drive, and was borrowing a friend’s car to attend a party to take my mind off my job loss.
I think it is time for some introspection.
As much strength as I have gained from blogging and reading, I’m going to step away from the computer for a little while as we determine our next steps and the actions necessary to feel like we have given this journey of prescription sex, vaginal scans, abdomen bruising contests, and hormonal hell our all.
Please forgive my absence, remember that this community is very valuable to me, and know that I’ll be back once I feel that I have a better handle on a more well-rounded life that focuses a little more on my strengths and a little less on my ovaries.
Thank you for reading.

I’m so sorry – none of those things is easy on its own, and together, it must feel like a huge weight. I hope that there is a way out from under them.
Crap! I’m sorry. ((HUGS)) Take all the time you need hun, we’ll be here…
I’m really sorry. 😦 As N said, none of those things are easy on their own – never mind trying to deal with them all at once.
I hope that there are brighter days ahead.
Oh. Argh. Wow. I’ll miss you so much…and I’m thinking of you…and wishing you peace on whatever the next road is.
wow—that’s one crappy week. I’m sorry about it all.
best of luck with your introspection, I’m really bad at it and tend to cruise the river in egypt instead so good for you
Take the time you need. And I am here in the face-to-face world if you want to get ice cream and have a good cry.
I’m so sorry for the disappointments. That totally sucks. I understand your need to get away for awhile. I will miss you!
When it rains, it pours, huh? Just as bad things tend to happen all together, I fervently hope that some very good things happen to you all at once. Soon. Very, very soon.
Take all the time you need. We are always here, to listen, to make you laugh or to just sit with you.
Above all, take care of yourself.
thinking of you!
I’m so sorry about all the sucky stuff that’s happened lately. I hope the break helps you find what you need.
You know I’m here for you. With copious amounts of alcohol, if necessary.
I’m so sorry. Here for you. If Karen’s bringing the booze, I’m bringing the food (chocolate, pasta or Vanilla Creme Frappuccinos?).
I’m so sorry. Each of those is tough to handle, and put all together, it just amplifies each.
I think that The Universe owes you big time for such a crappy week. Nobody should have to deal with so many difficult things at once – that was just plain mean. Perhaps that means that you’ll have some clear sailing for a nice long while. For myself, I try to take getting smacked in the face repeatedly as a good thing (says Martha). Try to see that a change of direction probably is warranted, try to see which doors are opening when other doors are being slammed in my face (sometimes with fingers or other things still in the way). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. And a large glass of good wine never, ever hurts. Be kind to yourself – take some time for you. And we’ll miss you terribly until you come back. 🙂
Big hugs to you, darlin’…..
Here from LFCA – I’m so sorry to hear about your terrible week. You’ll be missed while you’re gone, and we’ll look forward to hearing from you when you come back – hopefully rested and surrounded by more hope. Peace to you.
sending warm thoughts…
Sending you love, light and peace.
Sad to hear about your horrible week. Sending virtual hugs, and a couple of virtual bottles of wine!
Take care of yourself.
Oh, B, I am so sorry for the shitty week full of shitty news. That completely sucks. I understand the need for a break, but please know that we are thinking of you and are here for support when you need it. I’m also sending you virtual hugs and virtual bottles of really good red wine.
UGH. I’m so sorry about your week — what a nightmare. I hope the break brings you good things. I’m sending a bottle of virtual wine too!
Thinking of you and hoping life and the universe cut you a break really soon.
Ughh I am so sorry. It always pours doesn’t it? Sometimes a break is really what we need in life. I will keep you in my thoughts!
just wanted to send you a virtual ((HUG))
Hi there,
Just wanted to check in and say hi, and to send you warm internet wishes. I hope you’re well.

Hello!
My name is Elisabeth, and I am an infertility / repeated pregnancy loss “veteran”. 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.
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.
Please let me know if you are interested by emailing me at UTInfertilityResearch@gmail.com .
Best of luck to you!
