Carrie, you'll do fine. Ask all the questions you want and know that you can vent any time here on this thread. We're all in the same boat. This will be my 2nd IVF cycle. My first I got a BFP but sadly m/c at 8 wks. What meds will you be on?

Evening ladies!

Karia - glad AF showed her ugly head - one step closer to your BFP!

Snow White - IVF is an incredibly emotional journey, I've cried more in the last few months than I have in a life time - sometimes at really stupid things! I think you have to allow yourself to be emotional - don't give yourself a hard time. DP I'm sure will be struggling to deal with things too - you just have all the hormones as well! You and DP will have to be there for each other. And when you hold your baby in your arms all that went before will be forgotten.

Nicolamark - Downregging made me sooooo tired too. Good luck with your baseline on the 27th - bring on the Egg Food!!!!
George Michael - how exciting! I'm sure I could turn him straight!

Daly - I don't know my test date yet - I'm guessing it will be around the 11th which is my birthday - so it will either be a crap one or the best i've ever had!
Thanks for updating the list - it's good to see where everyone is at. Sending you an AF Jiggy dance and wishing you a cyst free cycle.

Stephanie - Good luck with your 2nd cycle.

Jovigal - wishing you all the best and a cyst free cycle!

Rebecca - how annoying - don't they know you shouldn't deny druggies there fix!

Carrie - welcome to the group! Good luck with your 1st cycle - you will be fine with the injections - they are not as bad as you imagine them to be! Any questions ask away!

Sorry if I've missed anyone - hugs to all

Charlie x

Hello everyone,

feeling really low today - I've been waiting for this week for what seems like an age but now it's here I am scared stupid. I just picked up my drugs (they were open!) and it was suddenly like a reality check - I walked away with a carry bag full of medication and just sat in the car wanting to cry. Tomorrow is my baseline scan and blood draw and I start the stimms on Friday. I've been really positive and anxious to start again and now I just want to run away. I'm not sure I will cope if it all goes wrong again.

love to all, Rebecca X

sorry you are feeling down, I know just how you are feeling What if's are horrible you just keep doubting yourself when there's no need to, I was given a really good peice of advice once

If you can do something about it then worry about if, if you can't do anything about it then try not to worry cos what will be will be.

p.s what are stimms and yes it is a bleeding huge pile of drugs.

smattison · Post by **smattison** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 9:51 pm

Rebecca-Boy can I relate! I have been really low myself and waiting for this week to get here. My boys left today for a week with their dad. They hate their step-mom and step-sisters and it hurts me for them to be so unhappy there. They still want to go to see their dad. The step-mom is the reason we are divorced. He cheated on me with her for 2 years and it tore apart 2 families, my kids know what she did. We were married for 16 years.

My drugs were delivered this morning and they were in 2 boxes. I start stimming (taking drugs to make you produce multi eggies) on Wednesday and I am so tired already. Maybe it is all the crying.

I cry at the drop of a hat and I to am scared I will get a BFN again. Not sure if I can handle it again. I have 3 older boys (17, 12 and 10) from previous marriage and all I have ever wanted is a girl, with the man of my dreams. Well I have found the man of my dreams and maybe I am being selfish wanting it all. I had my tubes tied and my hubby has no children of his own. He is wonderful with my boys and a child deserves to have him as a father.

The one thing I have done to help this time is to have a plan. If it does not work then we are going to attempt to untie my tubes and try IVF one more time. If that does not work then we will try and adopt. I need this to keep going.

Hi Stephanie, Thanks for you support and sharing your story. I'm really happy that you found your man of your dreams and I am sure that you'll get your little girl too. Your plan makes sense and if this fails again for us then we need to really think about next steps too. I would definately look to adopt but living in a foreign country (i'm english living in the US on a sponsored visa) makes it near on impossible and I think that's adding to my stress as it means up turning our lives again and heading home. It looks like we're on a similar cycle so let's get through this together!! Good luck to you X

Carrie, thanks for your support too - the advice makes so much sense and I'll try and use it. Being a natural control freak makes it hard though!

Take care everyone X
