[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back when I was in the infertility trenches (come to think of it, I still am — it sticks with you and you carry the scars even after a successful pregnancy) I used to joke that if someone told me that slathering myself in honey and jumping into a fire ant hill would have gotten me pregnant, I would have been like “does it matter what brand of honey and how much?” I would have moved heaven and earth to become a mom and the journey ultimately wasn’t easy. We had every type of test under the sun (still unexplained), multiple IUIs, ivf, acupuncture, Mayan massage, surgery, the meds even gave me a cancer scare. My savings and sanity were tapped out. But it worked. And after a hard pregnancy and a God-awful delivery, he is sleeping next to me and i’v Never been more grateful for anything in my life. If you’re asking a bunch of strangers on dcum, this leads me to believe that you’re not completely at peace with the decision not to pursue treatment. I can’t tell you what to do, because this issue is so intensely personal, so instead I wish you contentment and luck  in whatever choice you make. Good luck![/quote]

out of curiosity, if it didn't work, how might have you felt? i do think hindsight is 20/20. for those who are successful, of course everything seems worth it. for those who are not, it might seem like "why did I waste all this time, money and sanity..."[/quote]
