Pegasus,
Last night when I read your post, I had just finished looking at pictures (with my husband) of a friend's new (first) baby. It was bitter sweet. I've been off of the pill now for at least three years. I know what you mean about getting your period. It is a painful reminder. We haven't tried infertility treatment yet, because I want to wait until I am done with school. Or at least on internship, which will be busy, but fairly consistent. But I will be 39 then, too. It is scary and nerve wracking. The sense of urgency just adds so much stress.And my husband goes back and forth about whether he is "ready" or not. Guess what hubby. You don't have to worry about the timing, but I do. And that means you do too, ya big dork!
On the other hand, a professor I worked for last summer has adopted two absolutely adorable boys from India. They are the cutest, happiest kids. So that give me hope.
But it's hard, I know. Take care, and know that my thoughts are with you on this.
