FYI
The following article was posted on the IF message board I am a part of. It is very true and really makes you think. I highly recommend reading it.

Recap
It's been several month's since I've posted anything. And I don't know that anyone even checks in on this anymore, but I think I'm ready for an update post.
Chris and I tried IVF for a second time in May/June and recieved our second IVF BFN on July 2, 2010. This negative was a bit different than the first. I think I am so broken and scarred, that this one just made me feel nothingness. Complete nothingness. We have since met with a new doctor to obtain a second opinion and love her! She is young, fresh out of school, and in my opinion, has something to prove. She's already requested many more tests than my old doctor ever did and though no answers as to why- outside of the scar tissue- I can't get pregnant were found, I am at least impressed by her willingness to look.
We are currently taking another small break before we gear up for a frozen embryo transfer (FET) as a result of our ability to save some embryos from our past fresh cycle. As with the second IVF, when and how the FET goes will be under wraps. Though the support of our family and friends is so important, discussing my cycle as much as I did with IVF #1 is too stressful to take on anymore. It is better for me to supress the experience as much as possible in an attempt to protect myself from the pain.
With that said, please continue to hope and pray that someday our dream of becoming parents will come true... and if we're lucky, hopefully it will happen soon!
