Keen, hunny, it is hard, this up and down and up and down, not knowing when the hell it's going to work, whether you're going to get to the finish line. It's emotional and it's tough, and it's understandable that you need time to grieve, be angry and be torn apart.

I always hear about how IVF/ LT TTC can change a person, how it's one of the most challenging things you can do in life. I think that's particularly true of IVFers/ARTers who have to face cycle after cycle of BFNs and disapointments. It's like nothing in the world to feel like your body is letting you down, like you're such a failure to not be able to do what even the crack addict down the street can do when she's off her face. I know how that feels.

And that's why I think this particular forum is so important. We all know how you feel, my sweet, and we feel it with you. And we will support you. And we will embrace you when you finally get that big pg belly (like they have me, thanks girls) You know we love ya, Keen!

Humphrey,

I tell everyone not to POAS, but I never intended it to apply to me!

Actually I am, and have always been, all for POASing. How could I not be when I've never done a cycle without spending at least $50 on various HPTs?

But I turned out to be the perfect example of why you shouldn't trust 'em. 11dpo with a -ve HPT and I was pg. You hear that, Sheree? Got an incorrect result at 11dpo, let alone 6dpo.

To all and sundry in the TWW, POAS to your heart's content! I suspect I encouraged Ali (bbtrail) so much she was using 4 a day!

love
sushee
