Encouragement
There are SO many BFP's on the TTTC board this week. It is so amazing to see such blessings being bestowed on women who have never lost their faith that their time will come too. If anything, I'm learning that I have patience I never knew I had. Their stories offer so much hope and encouragement that I often find it hard to get down since I know there are so many others to hold me up through their wisdom. I'm so glad I found that board, I would be lost without reading it!

The world and my mind today
It's a scary world out there these days. The housing crisis, stock market collapse, job eliminations, economy, upcoming elections, policital party chaos, etc. is creating a very unsettling feeling. I've been so consumed with TTC lately that now I'm wondering if maybe there is a BIGGER reason than my broken ovaries that we are childless. I can't imagine bringing a child into the world in the middle of The Great Depression II. It would be heartbreaking to have a newborn in a soup kitchen because my house was taken from me. There is a very real possibility that credit will come to a halt and will be given to NOBODY no matter the credit score. That is unfathomable. America exists on credit. Hell, the government moreso than anyone! Without China issuing trillions of dollars in credit to the US, the economy would've tanked long before this.
That being said, who will save us from this collapse? I think we have come to rely too much on the government taking care of us. Americans need to stop being lazy and do what our great-grandparents did. SCRIMP, SAVE, SACRIFICE! So we have to alter our lifestyles from extravagant to simple. Is that so bad? Only then will we start to see positive changes trickling down. America is so all about instant gratification that we don't want to wait several years to see the fruits of our labor. I think that's the problem. Hell, I'm easy to please. I would just like a bill to be passed so that infertility is declared a medical issue and full coverage is available in all states. Because at this point in time, if IVF is deemed the only way we can conceive, looks like it won't be happening. No way no how will I be able to come up with $20,000 for a procedure that might not work.
Enough of my rant, this economy thing is just freaking me out. Plus, I think that AF is about to rear her ugly head. Hopefully soon, I'd like to start the next round of 150 mg Clomid before 2008 is over! Ciao!
