Holiday Cards
There's really nothing like receiving tons of christmas cards in the mail to make you remember you're infertile.
Me (36) DH (38)- me-unexplained IF/hypothyroid -DH-counts good, but volume is low; Married in 2006, off birth control pill. Started officially trying in March of 2009.
2 rounds clomid/ovidrel 2009, 1 round femara/iui, 2010, 2 rounds follistim/iui 2010. Weight loss surgery 2011. Back to new RE 2012: HSG normal, AMH 0.43= DOR; IVF with microdose flare protocol in February 2013.
I hear ya -
A few years ago - I decided that if I can't beat them (yet), than I would join them.......so, I had pictures taken of my dog and me
Me: 39, DH: 43
TTC for 5 years . 1 Ectopic PG at 8 wee
Thankfully I only got one card with a child on it. Well that and a picture of my niece on Santa's lap (which I could not help but find cute but I have gotten over my sadness over my sister having a child already. Mostly.) I was ok with it mostly because I prepared myself. However I am also in the blissfully hopeful stage of the 2WW. Ask me again in 2 weeks when I get the BFN. Then I will be making confetti out of those pictures.
Hopefully you can find some joy in the holidays despite the cards.

I know it's so hard! Staring longingly will only make you upset - my husband has been whisking all photo cards out of the house before I see them. Resolve.org has a great section on getting through the holidays that I found immensely helpful!
Oh yeah you should read my post about getting one with an ultrasound photo on it!
