Not sure what happened, I wrote a whole reply and it disappeared!

MrsS,

My SIL gave me a St Magellan - Patron Saint of Mothers - pendant, when we started IVF. She had been given one when she was on IVF, by a friend who had been given one when she was on IVF. We're not Catholic, but it was a sweet thing to do, and it gave me something to focus on. I wore it on a bracelet during my stim cycle, and my first TWW on IVF.

I still have it on my bedside table, and still pick it up and look at it. I don't wear it anymore, but that's partly because I'm a bit hopeless with jewellery. I guess I also lost 'faith' in it as well - we're on to FET#5, and so far no wishing and hoping or lucky charms have helped. That probably sounds really negative - sorry, I don't mean it to be. I just know that the only strength I can draw on is my inner strength and the love of my DH. Google doesn't offer me any strength, although I sometimes try drawing on that as well Oh, and of course, BellyBelly helps me as well.

GL to you - I hope that you are able to draw strength from somewhere, and think any sort of charm or pendant, etc, is a positive way of expressing your hopes and dreams.
