I start birth control pills tomorrow. My husband is deployed so I will be doing it all alone. I am trying really hard to be a more regular blogger. I may not do super well right now, but once all the IVF stuff starts I will definitely be posting about all the doctor's appointments and stuff if you want to follow along.I'm just a girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678517049637015694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641047979712345601.post-70520520170972100162010-10-24T12:52:47.157-07:002010-10-24T12:52:47.157-07:00Hopeful that this IVF will be the one!

Welcome to ICLW! I'm sorry to he...Hi Jennifer, <br />Welcome to ICLW! I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties and that this is your final effort at conceiving. I also had multiple miscarriages, as well as infertility issues, and wondered where that would leave us. When all seemed quite hopeless, we got lucky...not once, but twice. While my infertility was unexplained, the doctors also had no explanation for the completely unexplained conception of our two children. Don't lose hope...put as much positive energy into your efforts to conceive this time as you possibly can. I know it's not easy to maintain complete positivity, but even if it requires conscious effort, you will begin to believe it and see rewards ina all parts of your life.<br /><br />Lisa (Your Great Life - #63)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139008103387503895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641047979712345601.post-27683448819062153162010-10-22T20:32:14.364-07:002010-10-22T20:32:14.364-07:00Rome!

No miscarriages for me, though. I don't know if that is good or bad. Good that I haven't had to go through that pain, but bad because I just don't know if I have the ability to be pregnant. Argh.
