now and then I pop in (cannot forget you girls!)

yes, our son happened with the final ivf (nr. 5), I have had 24!! IUI treatments ,first 6, then 6 again and while I was on the waiting list for ivf, I was allowed for another 6 and the 18th attempt was bingo. But I miscarried with 10 weeks.
Then ...

I did the test too, based on the facts when I was undergoing ivf.

it said 4,91%

it is no ones fault, sometimes nature is cruel.

do not feel guilty.

you ARE DOING everything you can: IVF: the last thing you can do to have a child of your own, to receive naturally.
(maybe adoption , if you are fortunate.. to have the chance to go through this procedure..)

but please do not ...

Heidi, I hope that you get your 4th attempt.

My request was denied in # 5, only on 2nd thoughts they kindly agreed to give me ivf 5, not that they believed in it... no, they did not... (to be honest, neither did I) but to give me the feeling that I could finish ivf satisfactory(ly?).

And I was ...

I just want to give you a big hug.

comparisation is misplaced.
every dream you dream and lost is just lost.

you meant right
just a big hug.

I feel somehow sentimental today... as our little boy is turning 3 tomorrow...

Your words... " feel like I can't even ...

Thank you for your reaction Children, it is so comforting to know that I am not the only one with feelings like this!

Hi Nicole,

I am sorry, I do not have advice, but I want to let you know that I think it is really UNFAIR that you may not be on the list.

I slightly understand why: your condition could worsten. But this reason is so unfair and not right.

Every time, this struggle, this struggle for 'treatment ...

Thank you for your reply Pauline.

We cycled together !
And posted together on the 40+ subject!

We were the lucky ones, weren't we!

Koen is born on the 17th of November and Amelia Leah on the 30rd!

Dear Vicky,

how sweet of you to react!

Our son is 2,5 :D so I do not think that I suffer from post natal depression :D .

I searched for the symptoms of this depression but actually I never was crying (from joy and happiness yes) or fearfull or scared that I could not cope.

After his birth ...

pain of being childlessness...

oh, I thank God for my Miracle, I enjoy my child every day, I cannot express my gratefulness, I am so aware of his existance, of his being, I am so aware too that I am very very lucky of having a child ! (I honestly did not expect it after such a struggle) I truely ...

What a dilemma.

I think you can only decide yourself.

I had frozen embryo's too but I wanted them back myself.

I never was in the position of choice.
