Amy:

I loved your message to Poly, especially when you said: " When it's

all said and done we still have to have a life. " That is so

important for all of us to remember. It is so easy to get " caught

up " in this Asherman's struggle and to get " tunnel vision " where

everything else is kind of on the " fringes " or the " just outside " our

range of perception.

You also said:

" I've given myself the rest of the summer to really think about

things and try to come to some peace regarding the future. " and I

thought I'd send you a couple more quotes that I thought you might

find helpful:

" Life is painful, suffering is optional. " Sylvia Boorstein

" You become what you think about all day long. " Ralph Waldo Emerson

" The key to everything is to find balance. " Lucas

My personal favorite is this one:

" The things that are ours cannot be given away or taken away, or

lost. We break our own hearts, all of us, trying to keep things that

do not belong to us and to which we have no right. It is difficult to

accept that we no longer have a right to that which is past. Yet our

lives get better when we recognize reality. " Myrtle

I hope some of these might give you some inspiration as you continue

on your own journey of introspection. Take care.

Gwen, you reduced me to tears (good tears).

Thanks so much for your quotes. I've printed them and I'm

going to carry them in my wallet with my other bits of hope.

Kinda weird but it works for me.

Thank God for this group of wonderful women such as yourself.

I'm in Toronto, and you say you're two hours away. small world. Who's

the doc in TO you have the name for? I may be in the market for a new

doctor, and am always networking, even though I have continued on

with him and he's so far served me well. His manner is not the best.

I'm with Ken Cadesky for fertility, he's with the START clinic on Bay

street. Also, who is your appt with closer to you? Thanks, Chrsitine.

Hi ,

It certainly is a small world. With so many group members coming from the US &

abroad I was feeling like I'm the only one

from the great white north, heehee. I'm sorry to hear that you're not having

much success with your doc either. My faith in

the all knowing doctors has definitely been shattered as I progress thru this

whole experience. I'll never again just be a 'yes

man " to a doctor again. There are more women in the group that know more than

they do...... Anyways, enuf venting, the doctor in

TO who's name I was given is Cifford Librach. He works out of New Women's

College Hospital. His number is . I

don't know a lot about him yet except that he helped my sister's friend get pg

after 9 years of infertility. My sister's friend

didn't have AS though, she had endometriosis related infertility. I'm waiting

for this person to get back from vaca so I can get

more info on what she went thru prior to him and how he helped her. I can let

you know more info when I get it if you want.

The other doctor here in London is . He previously worked at the IVF

clinic at the hospital were I've been going

for IUI but has now started his own fertility clinic (Southern Ontario

Fertility Technologies) . He was also my sister's doc

for chronic endo and she absolutely raves about him and is highly recommended by

my family physician. He has a website if

you're interested: www.soft-infertility.com

Hope this helps you some,

cheers,
