Back to RE...sigh

With this being CD 2 of a new cycle, we're headed back to the RE next Thursday to talk about pursuing treatment, something I've been putting off because I had myself convinced we would get pregnant without the need for it.

This is just overwhelmingly frustrating. I don't like the person I'm becoming. I don't like it that I can't be happy for my friends/family members when they announce their pregnancy or call to tell me what they're having. I don't like that I experience all of these upsetting emotions EVERY month. I try to step back and look at all the positive in my life, but with this huge void, it's often difficult to be thankful, though I'm trying very hard to be.

If it weren't for you guys, I'd be going nuts. But knowing that you're all here to vent and talk rationally and irrationally to, and understand things my DH might not, is such an incredible support in my life. So THANK YOU!!!!

" No body wants to see and RE but they can truly help you. I know this whole IF situation is stressful and heart breaking but I have all the faith in the Lord that He will see you through this. You are in my prayers. "

" I agree 100% with youon everything . I am not the same person I was a year ago. Your RE is going to be very helpful, you just have to go in there with faith in him and in yourself. I will pray for you and your DH. "

" BIG HUG... It is tough admitting that you need the RE to put together a plan. It makes you feel like a failure. But try to look at it like this. You are taking control now. You aren't waiting for anything. This put you in charge of your fertility. Take it and run with it. You own it. "

" I agree totally with #4, you are in total control of this situation. Your RE will become the most important person in this journey, besides yourself and DH of course! My RE is like the 3rd wheel in our marriage, but he's a good wheel! It's tough to admit you need the help but taking this next step is brining you closer to your goal....motherhood! "

" I myself haven't been refered to an RE yet...my OB seems to handle a lot of what you all talk about.

I know it is frustrating, but hang in there and you'll get through this.

I don't think any of us are the same people we were before we started this journey, but it is making us stronger and more prepared...and when we all get our BFP it will make us that much more happier!

Take care sweetie!!!! "

" I had a hard time digesting the fact that we had to go to see an RE, but I figured it was probably best to let the professionals handle it. I am so glad that I did, I love my RE and his nurses. Good luck, hun! "
