And venting to my hubby, he's pretty awesome.<br /><br />But since IF seems to be the main reason I even need to be "saved" these days, I'd have to say that meeting up with local IFer's is paramount. Those ladies are amazing, I don't know that I'd be as strong as I am without them.Melissa Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150534738341942742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699072659992921489.post-26238776551766680612010-10-08T22:18:22.176-07:002010-10-08T22:18:22.176-07:00Climbing/exercise, chocolate, and nature, not nece...Climbing/exercise, chocolate, and nature, not necessarily in that order!

He never complains about driving me 2+ hours to appointments or about what they "make him do" in that little room. (Wait, he does complain that "those rooms" need white noise machines.) He even goes to acupuncture with me :) I've seen very bad behavior from other husbands in the waiting rooms, so I know I am one lucky girl to have someone who understands the enormity of what we are trying to accomplish.<br /><br />Glad you're feeling better about things.

There are always others who get it, really really get it. And these days, attending now as an "IVF Veteran" I can offer helpful info to others based on my experiences and the experiences of others I've met in person or through their blogs. <br /><br />I attended my 1st in-person support group over 2 years ago and still have wonderful friends that I meet up with. Some now parents, some not, but all who "get it". <br /><br />Glad you have your exercise outlet. And can't wait for the day you are dipping your baby's toes in that stream!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462141149078143157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699072659992921489.post-72876791103670089872010-10-03T22:00:53.058-07:002010-10-03T22:00:53.058-07:00Running definitely saves me!

The possibilities are endless!<br /><br />I also like to savor the simple things in life: walking the dog, watching the leaves blow on the trees, having an impromptu picnic in the front yard, etc... And of course the support of good friends, including those I have yet to meet face to face :) So glad you are feeling better!

I also swim. Helping and giving advice to others makes me feel good. Researching on the internet and getting people great things at great prices is also really good. I also enjoy reading The Economist. Knowing that so many other people are also going through crap is also helpful.

Interesting point about where we would all be if these thoughts stayed inside of us, what did the world do without blogs???!!! <br />I am so glad you get such relief from running.

At one particularly low point, on the way home from an RE appointment, I told R to just keep driving until we got to the ocean (about 6 hours). We didn't quite do that, but we did go home, pack up, called our bosses to say that we wouldn't be in for a few days, and left for the trip the next day. (Which we could get away with because it was the day after Christmas and we had the vacation time, even though we hadn't planned to use it then.)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564075022074996137noreply@blogger.com
