Flamingo has amazing strength and can keep her mouth shut when I would have totally said something snarky to "friend" mentioned above.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermNFP is an amazing, supportive 3Ter. Even when the decision to stop TTC, she didn't up and leave the rest of us bitters. That speaks volumes about her.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad sperm@sweetpotato123 yay! GL!
@Aimothy great news! Glad you are able to get started with FET!
Update: nothing new. I go for bloodwork on Sunday, and will start gonal-f and menopour that night. Lupron has officially started to give me hot flashes.
Vent: (pr) I had to go to training this week for work on Nurturing Parenting. We had to do the assessment ourselves, and I totally almost when off on a girl when she started talking about people without kids living in a "fantasy world." She was pg with her 3rd and all she talked about was how people with kids didn't understand what it was like. It took me everything I had to tell her about how she doesn't understand what MY life is without kids, and how I would love to trade places with her. But, I held my tongue.
QOTW: Aimothy is always nice and caring. I am still amazed by her weight loss and how good she looks in a sports bra!

The two year anniversary of losing Baby is coming up and it's on my mind. It is hard. While life has become happy again, grief is weird. My heart still really hurts and I still miss him a lot. This time of year is tough.
Looney has a kind heart. She is always a support and genuinely cares.
