First IVF attempt -I'm 42

Post by natashajuan »

Hello,
I'm 42, and after 4 cycles with clomid (doom in a pill), and 3 failed IUI's using injectible drugs, I am on my final assisted attempt with IVF. I feel lucky to be able to try this, but also a bit jaded. It is less with hope than the need for closure that I embark on this IVF adventure.

I gave myself the first shot of this cycle, this morning, and can see that time has suddenly slowed to a crawl, though. I thought I was tough enough to handle anything, by now, but oh! the slow ticking of the minutes.

Any wisdom about IVF? Should I begin acupuncture immediately? I've upped my yoga to 3 times a week. and seem to avoid the birthday parties of my friends' toddlers until I can get a grip on my emotions.

Thank you,
NJ
be well.
