Hi kbear!
Here you can talk all you like and everyone will know exactly what you're going through. For the majority of our treatments (until first chemical pregnancy and fear of needing an abortion injection) our families didn't know either and even now I'm shetering dates and exact procedures to avoid hearing on family gatherings "SO...DID IT FINALLY WORK THIS TIME?"Please don't be scared of the procedure - ER (egg retrieval) is no big deal, and if everything goes well like it normally does, you actually finally start seeing the results of your efforts that day and the day after, which then lets you have the last boost of energy to go ahead. This is my second cycle (by now I have had 2 ER, 2 ET and one FET). Personally the worst for me was the stims, being bloated all the time - and this
2ww (the current one) has proven harder than before because we have tried a new procedure and I am afraid to be hopeful then disappointed.
Good luck and enjoy the forum!!!
