I too have struggled with infertility so if you need to vent to me, PM me at any time.  Kristin SF on "OT: Delurking" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-delurking#post-1054498 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:31:34 +0000 Kristin SF 1054498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Emily, I have several friends and acquaintances who have struggled with this. They all mentioned this book to me, maybe it will help you if you haven't already read it: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Taking-Charge-Fertility-Anniversary-Edition/dp/0060881909" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Taking-C.....0060881909</a> All the best to you and your husband on this journey.

I was going to send you a PM but got distracted. I should have! I am so sorry you have been going through this. It took me 2 years to conceive my daughter and it was a total rollercoaster. I hated it. Your WIWs were not boring at all -- I love seeing clothes from the same shops I have access to and seeing your particular spin on them. I hope you start posting again! xo rachylou on "OT: Delurking" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-delurking#post-1054430 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:30:16 +0000 rachylou 1054430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ YLF has a way of doing that. It is by far too pleasant, hehe.

I'm so sorry for your struggles and your sad feelings, but I am happy that you are feeling optimistic about medical intervention and better about yourself. I hope you will post here more. You will get the support you need for yourself, and those WIWs that you think are boring will most certainly get you some boosts to carry you through a day.  Suz on "OT: Delurking" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-delurking#post-1054366 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:52:55 +0000 Suz 1054366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Emily, I'm so sorry you've had trouble conceiving. As someone who struggled with infertility I know how lonely it can feel. Glad you are feeling good otherwise, and it's nice to see you back here.  Emily on "OT: Delurking" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-delurking#post-1054353 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:43:45 +0000 Emily 1054353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ For a while now I've been cruising the forums admiring everybody's WIWs while not posting anything of my own.  The change to the forums that only allows logged-in active members to view images has been the kick in the butt I need to jump back in. The short story is that I felt like my WIWs were dull and not worth sharing. The medium-length story is that my DH and I have been trying to have a baby, so all year I have been trying not to buy too many clothes because I was so sure that the next month would be the one. The long story is that after months of disappointment, my optimism on that front is fading. It's been nearly a year of trying, not including the miscarriage I had at 10 weeks last fall.  I often feel sad, scared, and alone. I have tried cruising the "Trying To Conceive" boards for support but felt smothered by sparkly animated gifs and angel babies and cutesy acronyms.  Someone I know has either had a baby or announced a pregnancy nearly every month I have not been pregnant since my miscarriage.   On the more positive end of things, I've taken up yoga and running and feel pretty good about the way my body looks.  At this point I am resigned to requiring medical assistance to procreate, which is a load off my shoulders.  I think I feel good, too, about dressing the body I have in style. The YLF community, with it's witty, charming, and stylish citizens, has clearly ruined me for the rest of the internet.  I look forward to spending more time with you all.
