Hope?

Can I allow myself some hope for this cycle? Do I dare? Is it too dangerous? I am scared to have hope. Hope has led me nowhere except to despair. But what else can I do?

It is 7 dpo. My b00bs are starting to feel pretty sore. And I am starting to feel exhausted. I fell asleep last night at 9:30 (during a Sox/Yankees game that went very, very bad) and slept until about 7:30 this morning. And now, when it's almost 9pm, I'm exhausted and cranky again. I'm not sure I can stay awake.

I can't help but feel some hope creeping in. I promised myself that with the seemingly poor timing that I would have none. I told myself with the pregnancy announcements that I couldn't make up symptoms to make myself feel better. But there it is, creeping none-the-less.

What do I do with this? I feel like I actually hate hoping. I hate hoping that things might work this time. How can I possibly hope for that? I feel like the chances of all of this working out are just so slim.

And yet. And yet.

I will hope for you, even if you decide not to.

I hope -- desperately, in fact -- that these are all signs of an impending BFP announcement from you. I'll do my funky chicken dance, and will cross everything that is crossable.

Its ok to hope although i understand why you don't want to. I hope this is it for you. Sometimes things happen when you last expect it. Maybe this months bad timing was really the perfect timing?!?!?! keep us updated!

Hoping is the best thing you can do for yourself right now. I mean really, what will "thinking it didn't work" do for you but make you crazy? OK, OK, hoping can make you crazy too.

So, I'll do the hoping for you! Me and all these nice ladies who are here hoping for you!!

I'm going to go do the Funky Chicken w/ Leah...

Hope is insideous (sp?) and gets in through any crack available. You know we all hope for you too! Hang on.

lots of 2nd IUIs work. they do, they do, they do.
What helps *me*...is to remember that it doesn't matter what YOU think. You'll either get pregnant or you won't. I don't really know why that calms me down, but ti does.
