I have a friend. She is an old school friend. When she got married, her and her husband decided to try for a family. Four years and lots of tests later they were no closer to that family. Six years later they have two dogs, a lovely house, a posh car and no family. My friend is a winner. She was confronted with IF, she tackled it head on and accepted the outcome no matter what. Although she didn't get the family she thought she would have she was able to stick two fingers up at IF and move on.
At this moment in time I feel like a loser. I can only hope that if our future doesn't include a child then I can be as strong a person as my friend.

I used to think if we couldn't have kids I'd be able to accept it. The problem is no one says you can't, no one says never. There is always another option, there isn't a full stop. And I don't know when you decide to move on.
I think the worst part of all this crap is deciding when to put a stop to it all. We've tentatively discussed the future (and have an idea of where we will go with this) but I know that I will find it incredibly difficult to walk away without a positive result.
I'm with you, it's hard to decide when to stop, to know what you can deal with and can't, to know if you're gonna be a winner or a loser and have that strength or not. It's such a horribly weird place to be, in the place of wondering.
