Hey Kim,
Glad you got ur chance to vent too! Its surprisingly helpful I think! One of my SILs (DH has 3 sisters!) actually suggested i get onto a forum. She's wonderful, and openly admits she has no understanding about what we've been thru, but is so supportive whatever way she can be.

As it gets closer to DH getting home from Iraq I'm getting more excited about the idea of trying again, and trying not to think about the worrying side of it all! Last night, i was babysitting my 3 nephews - 4, 18mths, 2mths. It was actually the first time i've ever had to look after a baby under 1 on my own! It was really good for me I think. It was almost like a 'practice' to see how I went feeding and getting a baby to sleep and all that stuff. It really helped me accept the fact that, yes, i DO want to try again, even if it means more heartache - it would be worth it for the chance at having a baby. I think for a little while I've been too scared to admit to myself I do want to try again. And when DHs older sister asks when we're trying, I am trying not to get so defensive! I just dont like them knowing we're going to be trying, because its so much pressure!

My family have been supportive in their own way - Im in QLD and they're in Tas, and they dont pretend to have any magic cures, which i apperciate. DHs family, who all live very close by, are generally OK, but sometimes a bit insensitive, if not dismissive of how we feel. I think its harder with DH's family, because they all have kids - we have 3 nieces and 3 nephews, aged from 4yo to 2mths! And DHs youngest sister is pg now, and only had her first baby in Jan...

Aaaah...families...!!!
