Oh I can so identify with you that hope is the killer emotion. I can do fine until someone gives me hope - or I give it to myself. And then of course, it all goes horribly wrong. Hoping for you that hubby recovers completely, that you do the deed on the right day, and that IVF is NOT in your future. All the best.

You're not a nutjob (unless we all are.) What your saying rings so true to me, and I am sure most of us in IF blog-o-ville. It's the hope that causes the highs and lows of this silly rollercoster ride. It is the worst of all four letter words. Don't be too hard on yourself for being hopeful (easier said then done, I know!)

I'll probably start acupuncture next week. I'll let you know

That's scary! I haven't had chicken pox but I remember getting vaccinated. Glad your husband is better.

I love that quote. Thanks for sharing. Hope is really tricky. We have to keep it on a leash.

Thank goodness your husband is feeling better. A family friend of ours got shingles (same virus, different mainfestation) when he was in his 40's and it was terrifying. I'm so happy for you both that he's doing well now.

And at least you know that you're not the only way to be seduced by hope. So many of us have done the same head-smack - what was I thinking?! Doesn't necessarily

Wow, I am sorry to hear your husband was that sick. I'm so glad that he's getting better.

Yeah, hope. She's a bitch. And I'll tell you - even when you've given up hope on getting pregnant naturally (like me - shit, we can't even get PG by cheating with IVF!), each 2ww I still have hope. Until AF shows. And then I could just smack myself for being so damn hopeful.

*sigh*

Hope is a tricky thing. I want it, I crave it, I need it. Often, I have it. But hope also seems to make the hurts hurt more. I miscarried and had a D&C three weeks ago. The only thing keeping me going right now is hope, and lots of it. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this.

First off - glad you husband is better now. I'm su...

First off - glad you husband is better now. I'm sure whatever had happened was scary enough, without you having to type it out.

Secondly. Hope. Ah yes. The great humanality of it. Hope. It's why I personally start poas way too early to get a real answer - so I chisel away at that hope - day after day, so by that 14dpo bfn, I had little hope left and it just doesn't seem to hurt that bad
