17 weeks - Feeling great!

So I have a few friends who are also going through fertility treatments and none of them are having any luck. I am constantly reminded about how stressful the whole process is, and how lucky I am to (hopefully) be through that phase altogether. It's just so lonely, and I hope that anyone who reads this will find some comfort in seeing that a person CAN get pregnant on IUI #7, and then on IUI #5, even when their lining was crap at day 14. (twins no less!) I person can carry twins even when she's had two miscarriages in the past.

Fertility is chance, luck, and random. I remember asking my doctor after cycle 4 failed about drinking coffee and he just kind of laughed. One or two cups of coffee a day isn't really going to make that much of a difference. We all have to find that line between feeling that we've done all we can, and not feeling like we've given up everything while we're trying because it makes the whole process feel so much harder.

To anyone reading this, please hang in there. It will happen!
