Not much is going on for me fertility-wise. I'm hanging out on the birth control Pill, waiting to start IVF. I take my last Pill Jan 5th.
The holidays are proving to be easier than I'd anticipated, thanks in part I'm sure to the antidepressants. Also, my baby niece had a horrible stomach virus and she (and her mom) missed our 2 holiday/birthday parties last weekend. I feel guilty for feeling relieved, but it does mean that I'll have all my internal reserves intact for Christmas Eve and day.
I'm just trying to make it through--not much into the holiday spirit. That makes me a bit sad--even decorating our house didn't bring out my joy. But I'm coming to believe that I do the best I can at any given moment. If I can not ruin anyone else's Christmas, I've done what I need to do this year.

Merry Christmas! Even if you're not in the spirit, at least you're feeling better than you were before : )
" i do the best i can at any moment" LOVE THAT! will be quoting.
It's completely understandable to miss the Christmas spirit. I do, too, and have to be OK with it. It isn't easy for us infertiles, but I hope you get through it and rebound after the first of the year.
I plan on drinking heavily to do the best I can on Christmas. For the first time ever, I may start the party early and drink from the disgusting communal chalice at Christmas Eve Mass that is said to contain the Blood of Christ but really just contains bad red wine. Yum!
Thanks for visiting me!!

Don't worry, my Christmas spirit has packed up and gone on holiday this year as well! Some years it's there, others it goes MIA, this year is a MIA year.
I'm planning on drinking alot on Christmas Day - which is very unusual for me, I'm not much of a drinker these day but sometimes you just NEED to!
~Happy ICLW~

Just stopping by from ICLW (#100). Looks like we're in a similar situation. I'm starting BCPs here in a few days to begin our next IVF cycle. And wow! Our ICLW post is nearly identical, although I didn't decorate and I don't have neices :-) Best wishes for a successful cycle and happy holidays
Good luck on your upcoming IVF cycle! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that 2011 brings you more joy than you could have ever imagined! Lots of hope and love from ICLW #110!
