I have tried to focus on what to write over these past few months but just can’t give infertility, that fickle bitch, much more of my energy and time. It’s been a good run but we are moving on. Finishing out our final FET sometime in the next month, but honestly…I can’t blog anymore. It’s not helping the way it used to…its giving me laser focus on our conception issues and with that I had slowly lost focus on the rest of my life.
I cannot express my absolute gratitude for all of you amazing, utterly incredible and inspiring women. You have strength and fortitude that helps me realize that I am not alone. I am eternally grateful for your support, comments, good-will, empathy, jokes and camaraderie over these past two years. It has meant so much to me.
I am still checking in on you all. I haven’t fallen off the earth…lol. I am woefully behind on some commenting, but always checking in. I promise you.
So, we have registered to run the Chicago Marathon this year. Now, instead of worrying about E2 levels, I’m focusing on run pace, instead of counting cycle days, it’s training miles. It’s something that I am seeing results from. I run and push myself, I get faster…results. And real “results” is something that has been so lacking for us lately. It is a far cry from the negative cycles, let-downs and delays even when we did every single thing right. It’s my big “fuck you” to mother nature, perhaps. : ) Retooling and refocusing to move on career-wise as well…so, wheels are in motion, dust is blown off, and gears oiled to move forward.
And it just feels right.
Anyhow, I just wanted to post this and let you guys know that I didn’t drop off the earth. I am still here, albeit in a quiet way for now, and I wish you all your bliss…in whatever form it takes and in whatever way you find it!
Love to you all!!!

You exit with class. I hope to see you resurrect this thing someday to let us all know what a fabulous mother you are to your Take Home Baby.
In the very least, let a local girl know how to find you at the marathon? I would love to hand you a celebratory banana.
Best wishes. I will miss you.

I wish you the best, Twelve Grapes. And I think the moment that blogging becomes a burden, or mires you, is the moment when it’s good to take a step backward. Excellent news about the marathon. Wishing you the very best of luck for the run.
