I already wrote on the other post but will write here too. I am very glad you are my sister in infertility and blogging/writing.

You got me going again, the fingers flying on the keyboard after they had been stilled for years and years post losing children… later term, post birth… thank you for that… because this mama of twin boys via surrogacy can give hope and laughter too…

Here’s my People of Walmart entry. Yes, I am officially a Peeps of Walmart in my Snuggie!!! that’s how this mama rolls. With laughter and doing amazing things no one else would DARE to do.

Well I’m a little late on commenting but I have been following for awhile and I really think I need a drink!!! Ameretto Sour please!!!! I love your attitude and how caring you are. I too have followed some chat rooms/message boards but it seems like some of them aren’t always there for support more for being the one with the most comments/posts. I don’t always feel welcome at them because I don’t spend 24hrs a day posting. I blog just not as much as I want to. My husband and I have been TTC for over a year. I have PCOS. I’m a little leary of using medications so right now I’m just using acupuncture and have been very happy with the results. We are going slower then most but thats our pace. I love reading your blog and I’m so happy to have found you!! Thank you for being a harbor for so many of us to come to!!!

What perfect timing – my first ever comment on a blog (although I’ve been an avid reader for quite some…bad lurker bad!) and I’m also badly in need of a drink. I’ll have a maker’s and ginger ale.

First, Mel, I want to say a huge thank you to you. When I found myself lurching out of my first RE appointment and straight to the Nets to try to find information about this new world of infertility I found myself in, your blog was one of the first I’ve found, and it has been an incredible roadmap to this amazing community. I’m looking forward to your book later this spring.

Anyway, my story – short and sweet. I was diagnosed with borderline ovarian cancer in 1999 which resulted in the removal of 1 ovary and fallopian tube and left behind extensive scarring. It wasn’t until 10 years later when I met my husband that I truly realized the impact of what was a scary but very treatable diagnosis. Fast forward to today where we have one unsuccessful IVF under our belts and are in the Lupron-stage of our 2nd go-around. Taking it day by day (or given the general lushery of my compadres, shall I say drink by drink…)

I’ll have a chocolate milk though I would prefer something a bit stiffer. This is the third time I’ve been pg this year if we count a chem pg, a twin pg (blighted ovum and m/c at 9w). Now I am pg again from IVF #6. I am terrified I will lose another baby. I am terrified because we saw 3 gestational sacs at my 5w u/s despite the assurances that the third one doesn’t look like it will take.

Cheers and bottoms up, ladies.

I’ll take a few beer then two tequila chasers, one for each baby-less pregnancy. I already feel drunk on this clomid though…

I’ll have a bottle of Pinot Noir and straw, since I’ve just had a miscarriage. I’ll need all the liquid courage I can get to get me through the next few weeks. Any advice for the aftermath, anyone? Any and all suggestions are welcome. Sorry to be so cheerful….

I am a new-comer to the blogasphere (so new in fact that the word blogasphere seems cool to me). How in the heck you manage all this stuff is beyond me! Makes me feel so meek and like an underachiever – THANKS! j/k! I’ll take a white wine please. I am a recent graduate of UIF (University of Infertility). I went through 3 years of an arduous undergrad but have come away with two degrees (aka children) – oh forget the school analogy! I love this blog but have to admit I’m still wading through the list of things going on. I am trying the IComLevWe thing. It’s a great idea. I might just have to jump in the Barren Bitches Brigade and pick up that book. Glad I found you! Great blog!

Hey, Anonymous, I’ll buy you a beer. I’m sorry the day has sucked so badly. I’m always here to listen if you need an ear.

I’ll take a Dr. Pepper – it’s the end of my 2ww but I’m not hopeful. All my friends can’t relate to me anymore – I need you guys. At 33, a miscarriage and D&C, THEN a diagnosis of premature ovarian failure, one failed Clomid/IUI cycle, and probably another failed one, feels like more than I can bear. I hate myself, for what’s come my way. It’s been a bad day today.

So you guys are my buddies. Damn, it sucks. But we’re together. Cheers.

I love your bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am here, everyday, drinking in your advice, your happiness and your frustration.

I've just recovered from my lap, d&c and hysteroscopy. I am on Day 3on Clomid and now if it doesn't work out for us in 2 months time, it'll be my first attempt at IVF.

Whatever way happens, your bar is where I come to - for my solitary alcoholic space.
