CD7: Living Life Without Regret
I saw the best quote over on Endo-a-Go-Go:
Regret for things we did can be tempered by time;
it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.
--Sydney J. Harris
That is precisely why I keep doing IVF. I cannot bear the thought of what it is to reach my golden years and wonder: what if I'd done one more cycle while I had that darned IVF benefit? I know that I would torture myself with that guilt, that heart break.
I also cannot imagine what it would be like to reach my golden years without a child.

post a commentThat is a great quote. I'm really, really hoping for you!
And with regards to your last post, I do hope that you'll end up with help with the PIO, but if not, you can do it. I didn't ever think I'd be able to do it myself either, but at one point I ended up having to self eject PIO in a McDonald's bathroom. Fun times.
That is a good quote. I know how you feel. I've tried to not let myself think that I will never have a child. I don't want to think it. Yet it keeps creeping back in. There is a blog that I love called: http://theroadlesstravelledlb.blogspot.com/
If you've never read her, you must read her 1/8/10 and her New Year's post. She's very insightful.
I noticed that you'd had a myomectomy, so did I. Do you think that we might have any complications due to scarring? I don't know many people that've had one.
I wish you much luck with cycle! Stay positive.
