		<description>You are a fighter and so are those embryos. I say you could visit Hope in the ICU once a week.</description>

		<description>I find an out of the way closet with a sturdy lock to do the trick with ol&#039; hope.  Unless of course, you need some release.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a pessimist as a result of infertility, if not by nature, but I still say let Hope hang around for the 2 weeks...at least in small doses.  It gets really depressing thinking that you&#039;re suffering through all this crap for nothing and makes it even harder to persevere.  I almost stopped my meds 9 days into my 2 ww last time because I was getting negative HPT&#039;s but Hope set me straight (sure, she was wrong once again but she&#039;s bound to be right some day and I don&#039;t want it to be when I&#039;ve done something stupid).   

Plenty of time to beat her up later if necessary.

		<description>That bitch should not interfere with our cycles. I  want to beat her up, too, for letting me down so many times. But I also know that she is not easily thrown out. If only it did not hurt that much when her promises do not come true...</description>

		<description>Amanda, would you give that bitch a good smack down and tell her it&#039;s from me.  She really screwed me over last cycle and I don&#039;t want to see her face for the next one.</description>

		<description>May I recommend using a Swiffer to beat Hope down?  I find it&#039;s dual purpose, cleaning as well as the beating, to be quite reassuring, and the metal handle makes a nice clunking noise against the stove, the gate, the desk, etc.  </description>
