Hope in all forms welcome

So I went to my second "Bump" get together. It's a group of girls that have been on the website "the bump" sharing in the TTC journey - all just as long, if not longer, than myself. There were seven of us from Chicagoland, NW Indiana & Southern Wisconsin. Three of the seven are now pregnant and one will be doing egg retrieval and egg transfer this week. All very exciting! I was worried that it might be a little depressing to have almost half the group pregnant with all the recent trouble, but thankfully it was more a feeling of hope that filled me. A simple, yet obvious reminder that it does happen. Even for those of us diagnosed as "infertile".
I'm also much more hopeful now since my last post about the progesterone supplements. Day one it just felt like another failure, but now I see it as just another step forward toward the goal; a child.
It is the first full day of a new football season, so I will expect to hear Jeff yelling at the television for the next several months. He is feeling almost 90% better since his surgery and should be fully recovered in another two to three weeks. We have another month before we can find out if the vitamins from Fertility Blend have helped. Or the fruit for that matter...my mother read an article that said men should have fruit twice a day to help with motility issues so I've "suddenly" been buying fruit alot :P. I am excited to see if it's helped so that perhaps we will not need to move on to IUI's in the spring. Of course, getting pregnant would be the real confirmation. But having more "normal" numbers would help even more with that hope issue.
