I think he finally gets it

Steve that is. We had our appointment at the RE to sign consent forms this morning. I had Dr F explain to Steve just how unlikely it is that we'll ever conceive again, even via IVF. I thought I saw the lightbulb go on when Dr F said that even using IVF, we have a less than 5% chance of getting pg. The main point of this exercise is closure for me. If we get pg, FANTASTIC! But I'm a realist. I'm very mathematically inclined. I know what the odds mean.

I'm also a hopeful little soul and know that less than 5% still means that 3 or 4 people out of every 100 will still get pg! I know that I tend to be abby-normal so I could very well be Dr F's first over 40 patient to get pg with IVF. I'm not opposed to being the first in this case!

Nothing wrong with being hopeful. I'm sending lots of baby dust your way. Miss talking to ya in chat. Hopefully I can get back in soon. I have a new office mate which makes it hard to play.

p.s. no baby for my sis this past injection cycle, she has to do a month of bc before they can do another cycle due to PCOS so next IUI is sometime early november

If it happens it happens, I just know you've already got one heck of an angel :)
