I started to ask myself that question yesterday. I had some more spotting yesterday that was making me think that this cycle was not successful. I still have to wait to get the official news Tuesday afternoon. I began wondering when will I know, and be okay with, the fact that we may not be able to have more kids. Last night, I seemed to be okay with the possibility of not having another child. I told Joe this feeling may change in a few hours, days, weeks, months, etc. I began to think of all the things we could be doing as a family if we weren't constantly wondering if this is "the month". I am sick of the medication and how it is affecting my body. I am tired of having to take time off from work for 30 minute appoinments. We both agreed that no matter what happens, we are lucky with the fact that we do have this amazing little boy who puts smiles on our faces daily.
Joe would like me to get a second opinion from a doctor at a different clinic before we "throw in the towel". The clinic I am going to now is the one of the best and most-known in this area. I am going to talk to my OB, whom I love and respect, to see if he has any other recommendations for a second opinion. I would also like to see if another set of eyes would be able to figure out what is going on with my body and why it was so easy the first time and has since become nearly impossible. I really wish someone would tell me, "Laura, the problem is.... It doesn't look like it will ever happen." I would be able to better accept things if I hear that. I am not saying it would be easy to accept that news, but it is better than hearing, "I don't know why you are not pregnant. On paper, you should be."
I wish someone could tell me when I will know that "enough is enough".
