And we are also considering adoption..but I have to admit it's really hard even thinking of giving up having a biological child. There are many of us out here that unfortunately can relate to exactly how you are feeling. Thinking of you dear.

I know there have been times I just wanted to bog myself down into whatever....work especially...just so I wouldn't have to think about it, then realize I hadn't been giving it any thought, then feel guilty and down about it. It's a horrible cycle. I'll be praying for you and your hubby as you start thinking about it all again. Just a thought...have you both ever looked into donor embryos? It's so much easier and less expensive than donor eggs, and your clinic may be able to help you. My thoughts and prayers are with you!!!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346463789345145910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146438889466307609.post-68903389603849852752011-10-24T08:48:37.647-05:002011-10-24T08:48:37.647-05:00May I be so bold as to recommend an awesome workbo...May I be so bold as to recommend an awesome workbook for you? It's called "Discerning the Voice of God" by Priscilla Shrier and it completely, in a very practical way, changed my prayer life.

And being depressed, you get a pass in that area, as I remember all too well those feelings each failed cycle. I found myself seeing a therapist and it helped immensely...if you have not been, consider the option. She liberated me of A LOT of guilt and negativity.<br /><br />Hang in there and I do hope the weight of your job lifts. As for the egg donation, my therapist councils all couples considering the option, as my RE will not proceed without it. And, I do have a sweet friend who received her beautiful son through egg donation from her best friend :) She revealed that to me after I told her of our infertility struggles. Also, I have another friend pregnant now through embryo adoption! I wish you the very best in whatever decision you make.<br /><br />Many Hugs and Keep Your Chin Up, We're Rooting For You!<br /><br />Andrea<br />persuitofourfairytale.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146438889466307609.post-79844467165300593892011-10-23T20:07:56.863-05:002011-10-23T20:07:56.863-05:00Definitely still reading and very much thinking of...Definitely still reading and very much thinking of you. It's incredibly hard to be in the in-between. I know exactly what you're saying and how you must feel by your words. I've definitely been there, even after we made a decision to put treatments on hold and pursue adoption. It's just never easy. I always feel torn and definitely just want to skip ahead to when our babes are in our arms.

Sorry to hear that work is so busy and taking your life over, thats no fun. I'm praying as you go ahead these next few months making decisions about whats next. <br /><br />P.S. Its ok to be depressed... but don't go too long without getting help if you need it. I have an awesome counselor if you need someone. I have also been on zoloft since we started TTC, although now trying to slowly wean off of it. It really helped me.<br /><br />Hugs!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00447255647970709867noreply@blogger.com
