Hope - hugs to you. Don't worry about venting. This is the right place to do it. My RE said to me 2 days back that it is normal for a delay after a failed IVF cycle and that its the body's way of adjusting. He won't do anything to make AF start. Easier said than done, but try not to think about his words too much. We all face the same thing in a way. Tests only show so much, and often even the doctors don't know the reason as to why certain things happen.
Mia - how was bd
Hey one more day to go before you have your lil' ones on board. Have you decided how many to transfer? Is your dad coming down this weekend?
Steph - Helllllooooo. Just prepare a countdown to the start of the new job. Might help for you to tick off days when you get home. How are you doing anyway? You will have your trigger shot soon, won't you?
Becky, feel any better? Are you in at work today or off sick? The weekend's here so you can rest it out, hey?
Chris - Men just deal with things differently. DH once told me that just because he does not cry or think about it all day like I do doesn't mean he feels less than me. You're right though, we analyse everything and need to talk about the smallest of things - which explains why we are all addicted to this forum. I can't think of anyone else around me that I can talk to about small things like brown discharge or spotting. Unless someone has been through this process themself, its difficult for them to understand the rollecoaster. Like when we went to see someone with a baby and she went on about how it worth it and we should start planning a family, it affected me for a week at least. DH on the other hand, could talk to them normally and express genuine joy for them. On the way home, he did tell me that he wants that to happen for us too. Then when we reached home, he opened a can of beer and started watching footie
They have the ability to switch off. Mia is right though, its better this way, otherwise we'd be a couple of sad depressed people. Their need to want to continue normal activities probably keeps us sane. All this rambling......better stop now.
As for paying, we're paying for tmt as well. We only get one chance paid for by the govt but waiting lists are so long. We still have a year to go and didn't want to wait till then.
Miracle - I kind of felt the same way as you about donating my eggs. But DH feels the same way about us getting through this first. We have decided that at any point, if - no when, we get our BFP and if we have any frosties, we will donate those.
Jend - you better be resting up and letting DH take care of you.
I've coughed so much the past 10 days now that my insides hurt so much (i've definitely twisted a few things inside, hopefully not my ovaries!). Beginning to feel a bit better now. My course of antibiotics finishes today. For some reason, I felt a calm over me since yesterday. I'm no longer fretting over AF. I thought about what the RE said and decided that I'll let my body decide when its ready. Its probably better that it didn't show up sooner as I've been so poorly anyway. As for work, well.........I'll just have to deal with things one at a time. I'll sign off on this positive note ....if you're still reading at this point, hugs to you.
Maybe DH is just looking at the big picture.
happy for ya!
Hope your not to stressed out, not long now.
