Now we're trying IVF for the second time. Worst of all, my job is not supportive of what I'm trying to do so I'm planning on changing offices before I quit altogether. I already practice Buddhism and have been searching for relief during this process. I see my road as blocked and will try to fly, but just have not yet figured out how. I'm lucky to have a supportive husband and a very healthy and fit body. Now, I just need to find hope, faith and the path.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-2280610722584648522010-08-29T11:34:29.530-07:002010-08-29T11:34:29.530-07:00LOL!

Buddhism in general is helping me to get through this "wall" in my life, but it is so nice to read about how Buddhism has helped another woman with this specific issue. Some infertility blogs are so out of control, and that takes to to a place I am trying not to go. I wish you well, and I will revisit your blog again to see if you have any updates. I know dharma will help me a lot in the end, but I am still fragile at the moment...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-38871625241309455112010-01-23T12:48:47.584-08:002010-01-23T12:48:47.584-08:00This really inspired me.

We've been trying off and on for six years to get pregnant with no success. <br />I keep putting off going to an actual fertility clinic and telling others we can't do it because we don't want to shell out the money (and secretly I think I'm trying to spare myself more heartache if fertility meds don't work).<br />I think I just need to break down those walls and start really trying for a child instead of willy nilly trying.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118939577916059526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-12083083122188879682009-11-12T11:45:44.196-08:002009-11-12T11:45:44.196-08:00Joan, I can't get to your blog or profile, but...Joan, I can't get to your blog or profile, but I did want to say that I didn't end up in bootcamp and I totally regret it now cause I'm heavier and crabbier.

Yeh I got one of those IUD majiggers thinking that it would put an end to hormonal birth control hell (think PMS...every single day of the year) and yes I guess in retrospect its loads better. But see what it really does is condense a months worth of crazy into a week or so making it much more volatile. Yesterday I ate an entire pizza....and cried all day for no reason at all...and then would cry harder because i couldn't stop crying. I decided that being in public is a bad idea so i'm on lockdon but my man has been wonderful. He brought me ice cream and tea...but alas i'm still pissed off...just because he's a man...good ice cream though...i'll let it slide...this time :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-84420612815764000692009-07-14T20:07:03.087-07:002009-07-14T20:07:03.087-07:00Belated happy nodding going on somewhere in north-...Belated happy nodding going on somewhere in north-central-ish-eastern USA for ya.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923049494756911105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-21767630938598088532009-07-14T16:06:29.218-07:002009-07-14T16:06:29.218-07:00I just visited & it's already looking grea...I just visited & it's already looking great! <br /><br />If you're going PP, I would love to be able to read along. : )loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-5104017297866164742009-07-14T13:28:20.990-07:002009-07-14T13:28:20.990-07:00The flexibility of Wordpress is why I switched ove...The flexibility of Wordpress is why I switched over.
