And, I have a couple of other things that are superstitious that I feel compelled to do: if salt is spilled, I feel I must toss some over my shoulder, AND if we say something in a foreshadowing, sort of good fortune kind of way....I feel we might jinx ourselves, so I am always compelled to literally "knock on wood" to insure that we don't jinx ourselves!!! LOL <BR/><BR/>Yes, I am clearly crazy!! ;)noelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12313290934169061756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655933.post-1154357698028021912006-07-31T07:54:00.000-07:002006-07-31T07:54:00.000-07:00I think the same thoughts run amuck in all our hea...I think the same thoughts run amuck in all our heads! I had a few of those circumstances where I worried I could be pregnant when I didn't want to be.<BR/><BR/>Also, I will never forget how when my cousin had so much trouble with her pregnancies and delivered early both times, I pointed out to my husband that she wouldn't have had babies if medical technology wasn't what it is today. I said that natural selection selected against her, but I never thought it might select against me. Obviously my thinking has changed and infertility has actually brought me closer to God. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for keeping us safe on the plane!hope548https://www.blogger.com/profile/11951199252401108222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655933.post-1154348772280645712006-07-31T05:26:00.000-07:002006-07-31T05:26:00.000-07:00MM - I just wanted to say thank you for your encou...MM - I just wanted to say thank you for your encouragement on my blog, really.<BR/><BR/>You know, to butt in and say, can I have a few more prayers now? <BR/><BR/>:)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517389518381988795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655933.post-1154294842519565032006-07-30T14:27:00.000-07:002006-07-30T14:27:00.000-07:00You can drive yourself crazy beating yourself up a...You can drive yourself crazy beating yourself up about the past, but this condition is not your fault. No matter what your feelings about getting pregnant were before you were ready, it didn't cause what's happening now. <BR/><BR/>When Friends had the episodes about Monica and Chandler's infertility, my husband loudly mocked the whole thing, saying how ridiculous it was that everybody is panicked about IF these days. When a friend went to an RE because she wasn't getting her period and she was worried about not being able to conceive, he thought she was overreacting. I kept telling H that these were legitimate concerns and that he better take them seriously because he might find himself dealing with them one day. So boy, does H feel like he is getting his just desserts right now. He feels very guilty for saying those things. But just because he was in so much denial about infertility being a problem doesn't mean God punished him and said, "here, see if you like it?" Right? Or did he...<BR/>I want to believe no, but it is hard.Emmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398930191347461398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655933.post-1154193529019717082006-07-29T10:18:00.000-07:002006-07-29T10:18:00.000-07:00I think we're all the same-idle dabblers in religi...I think we're all the same-idle dabblers in religion, but we sure can call out for help-how often have we said "Dear God, please let this time work" or "Dear God, please let it all work out ok"?<BR/><BR/>I guess when one of the altars is infertility, there's not much choice there.Twisted Ovarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00517046650604160650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655933.post-1154170354515308762006-07-29T03:52:00.000-07:002006-07-29T03:52:00.000-07:00I have put myself on the case, too, though I've wo...I have put myself on the case, too, though I've worried that my efforts are counterproductive, as God doesn't like me. That's in part because I still make a wish when it's 11:11 or 12:34, and also when a car approaches with one headlight. <BR/><BR/>Let us put our hopes in Bihari's mother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655933.post-1154112269363499222006-07-28T11:44:00.000-07:002006-07-28T11:44:00.000-07:00Consider, however, how many times you have prayed ...Consider, however, how many times you have prayed to God in the past year or two that you _are_ pregnant. <BR/><BR/>Do they outweigh the times you've prayed that you weren't? (And were they more fervent and heartfelt? Probably...) If so, it should all come out in the wash, and the next cycle -- accompanied by please-let-me-be-pregnant prayers -- should work.<BR/><BR/>Because all this stuff is so very rational and logical that way. ;-)<BR/><BR/>So glad you are blogging -- will add you to my blogroll pronto.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041039260443501706noreply@blogger.com
