The Bright Side

Can there be a bright side to a failed IVF? In some twisted sort of way...yes?

Here's mine (take it for what you will):

Despite four weeks of dex (steroids), sixteen f*cking days of stims, not working out a single day, eating with utter abandon, I am happy to say that I didn't gain a single pound during this cycle.

Shallow bright side? Yes, perhaps. But I'd be so much more miserable had the scale congratulated me on an 8 pound gain in those three short weeks.

I'll take my happiness where I can get it for the time being.
