Wow! You all really are the best - I can't even begin to tell you how much your outpouring of support for my FET today means to me. Especially since, as I'm sure you all have noticed, I've kindof shut myself away lately. I haven't been posting much or commenting. I've been trying to distance myself from the whole IF thing because it really is wearing me down. But, even though I haven't been an active participant in your lives - your disappointments or your celebrations, you all were still there for me!! Thank you, thank you! You all really made my day.
I did go to spin class this morning - it was awesome and I got my bloodwork done. Now, I'm just doing some laundry while waiting for my acupuncture appointment. I'm feeling relatively calm - still trying to protect myself by not getting too emotionally invested, but I am hopeful.
I don't know what the future holds for me. I don't know why my life has turned out the way it has. I don't know why hubby and I have not been able to have children when everyone around us gets pregnant so easily. I don't know if we will ever find answers to these questions. But, the one thing that I have learned - from you all - through this process is that if you are willing to open yourself up and ask for support, there are so many really wonderful people in this world who will be there for you - if you only give them the chance. This is something that I've struggled with in my real life. I don't tell others what I'm going through but then I feel hurt and alone when I don't receive the support I need. Regardless of what happens in the next few weeks, that is something I want to do better - quit isolating myself. I need to put myself out there, ask for help and support when I need it and be just as ready to provide it to others when they need it, as well.
So, once again, thank you all so much! Hopefully, I'll have some good news to post later on - maybe all 4 will survive the thaw. Wouldn't that be something! And, yes, whatever survives - it's going in!

I'm hoping you're getting positive poking right now...ewww sounds kinda dirty! I'm pulling for those embies!
So you thought you were Island Riley? Glad to prove you wrong. ;-)
So, along with the tons of good thawing and sticking vibes and positive energy sent your way, here is a silly joke:
A neutron goes to a bar, asks for a drink and then for the bill. The barman looks at him and replies:
'For you, sir? No charge!'
Geeky, aint't it? ;-)
Riley - Best of luck to you in your FET! I'm very excited for you and hope this is the one that works! much love to you.
Lots of thawing and sticky vibes!!! Ooooohhh I think you are very brave putting everything in! Best of luck, can't wait to hear how it all went.
Glad to hear that you're making it through all of the stress. The FET is finally here and I hope it's a BFP for you! It's amazing how much others take for granted when they conceive without even trying. What's that like?! You and your DH have had quite the journey. When I read that you two were not as emotionally invested in this as you might have been early on it reminded me of my journey. It wears you down.
I'm hoping so much for you that this will work. And since you'll be lying around you'll have plenty of time to post and keep us updated! Good luck!

I hope the FET went beautifully and that the pricey acupuncture does the trick! Pineapple core too, right?
Well, Ms. Riley, don't be so surprised...you're a great blog sister and we care about you and want your dreams to come true! Now go rest, think happy, positive thoughts, and know our thoughts and prayers are still coming your way.
Here's hoping things went super great!! Update when you can and rest up!
Riley - hoping everyone survived the thaw - I have 4 on ice too and that is our last ditch plan, stick everything in that survives! Thinking of you and hoping for the best.
Thinking of you!
