I am so sorry about the OHSS! I think it is a good idea to come out here to try, if you can. I have had some really great experiences so far. I hope that the OHSS goes away soon…do you have any elastic waist skirts?

I am very behind schedule, but I just checked the book out from the library. I will read this post when I am done!

I need to get the book. I have only been reading technical books on IVF lately and I am DONE with that!! So tiring!

Yeah, the one and only pregnancy book I have (a gift from my SIL) lives on the bottom shelf of my ricketiest bookshelf. I take a sick pleasure in letting it collect dust and dog hair.

Totally unrelated, but I love your blog design! Very pretty!

I like to think Elinor found peace, whatever path she took in the end.

I really like your ending. It was very freeing for both Elinor. And she freed herself just by letting go of her expectations.

And your answer about your husband’s baby picture really resonated. When I first met Hubby, I was so thrilled to be able to add to the gene pool with him…he’s awesome in so many ways.

But it wasn’t to be that way.

It was to be another way, a way that seems perfect now.

Except for the milk my children leave out. ALL. THE. TIME.

Good insights. I also feel much worse about not being able to have children in the sense that I am letting my husband and other people down. Maybe we as women are just too self-sacrificing, because I know it hurts me too.
