Today's PJC is courageous (brave, gallant, dauntless). According to Webster, courage is defined as "mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty".
Being on the path of infertility is an act of courage. If you have ever played slots or gambled at the tables, you know what its like to put your money in jeopardy. So it takes a lot of bravery to put down thousands of dollars on a 20%-40% chance of winning. Beyond the shots, the appts, and the money one has to go through, our hearts are on the chopping block every single month. A tiny piece of my heart is sliced off with every negative test.
To me this picture is the image of courage:
Making the decision to step off this journey, either because you get pg or because you make a conscious effort to, also takes enormous amounts of courage. So my hat's off to all of us on this rough journey.

You couldn't be more right on actually.
Thank you.

This is exactly how I feel... "A tiny piece of my heart is sliced off with every negative test."
And my bathroom looks like this pic as well.
