[quote=Anonymous]As others have said already -- the fear and anxiety that after everything -- all the injections, monitoring, money, etc. -- the one thing that you want more than anything in the world might not happen for you. Not ever. A lot of this process has to do with giving up the illusion of control. You can do everything "right" -- exercise (but not too much), abstain from coffee/alcohol/gluten/(basically all the fun things), keep your feet and your uterus warm, throw out all your Tupperware and replace it with glass, follow your protocol to the letter and still, the ultimate outcome might not be what you envisioned. (Meanwhile, meth heads the world over are getting pregnant the old-fashioned way well into their 40s...)

Something that helped me was a line I heard on an infertility podcast. It basically boils down to "If you want to be a parent, you will be a parent. The road might not be what you envisioned or wanted for yourself, but you will get there." I hope you get your kiddo![/quote]
