kinda blah right now about all of this......

I have been really giddy and anxious about the whole transfer and all the for the past few weeks and couldnt wait, now the more things I have been reading the more i just feel "down" that it's not going to work for me.

I have been reading people talkin about how if you do IVF and still have your tubes that its pretty much guarenteed that its not going to work and be another tubal....I cant help but think now that I made a wrong decision with our dr and decided not to remove my remaining tube before all of this. My Dr looked at the film and told me he sees no reason to remove the tube, but now reading things im second guessing myself.

Anyone out there have a story that they can share that would help lift my spirits?!?!

Meggs!!!!

Okay, so I know this process is long, emotional, stressful, full of daily obsessing and worry..... But you have got to keep positive!!! I know you have had tubals in the past, but that was because your "highways" so to speak had a detour and your embryo had to camp out elsewhere. Now, these embryos have a first class ticket on a luxury jet to bypass the highway, and land immediately in their destination!!! And they are going to LOVE their 9 month stay in paradise!!!

I had my tube removed, only because it was a hydro. If it was not, I would have kept it. But you know, the fact that the tube is gone, does not take away the risk of a tubal, according to my RE. They said that the embryo still could crawl up into the stub of the tube, so the risk of it going into the tube was never taken away. Although the risk is still there, your history of tubals does NOT make it more likely for you now because you are bypassing the cause of the tubals.

I hope all is going well while doing your stims.... Your ER should be soon right? Have you got a tenative count on the number of follicles? Keep me updated!!!

Remember, this is an open forum...filled with Non Medical opinions!

To get distraught and lose hope due to comments made by others..well, maybe you shouldn't read the boards for awhile!

The most important relationship right now is between you and your doctor...obviously, you trust this doctor enough to do the transfer. If you have more questions for him, pose them TO HIM, NOT to people on the message board.
The board is for support, but by no means provides scientifically proven advice...it's all opinion...every person is different, our bodies are diff, our doctors have different standards and strategies due to each of our unique circumstances...

Trust that you've chosen the right doctor...move forward and never, ever EVER give up hope!
You will be FINE.
good luck

Hey girls!

Thanks for the boost of confidence and encouraging words-I really need to hear that stuff-Heidi you put it in a perfect scenario....and Woodcliff-you pretty much told me how it is : ) Soooo, I need to get my bootie back up on the PMA pedestal and get ready for the next steps of this!

From what I know right now they're thinkin that the retrieval will be some where around the 10th (monday) and then after that-3/5 days will be the transfer...soooo, yeah-really my last "week of sanity" : ) Because I KNOW that the 2ww is going to kill me like everyone else....atleast its all "fun" craziness....

Well, thanks so much for the great boost of confidence you guys-it really made me feel better-I have to get ready, as I have an ultrasound this morning-I'll let oyu know how it goes!~

Much Love
Meggan
