[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to continue, by all mean, do so! Others are just having a hard time watching you suffer, which is understandable. But, this ultimately is NOT about what they want or about making them feel better--it's about you and your child. Only you can decide what's too much for you to bear. [/quote]

+1.  They're coming from a place of love, even though their comments are hurtful. I think all you can do is try to remember that and be strong in your own heart about what you want.  I will add that one day when you have your child, you will totally understand where your mother is coming from.  My mother has said all kinds of things that I considered unsupportive and hurtful about any area of life in which I struggled.  I would always (erroneously, I now realize) interpret it as her thinking she knew better than me or not trusting me to make decisions about my own life.  Once I had my own child, boy did I understand how painful it is for her to see me suffer.  In fact, comments that were hurtful at the time I now look back on and they make me feel closer to her.  I think when we're adults we assume that those protective instincts our parents have for us are gone, but they aren't.

It sounds like your doctor is optimistic for you.  Hold onto that.  Godspeed in your quest, OP![/quote]
