Ladies,

This is my first, and very long overdue, post. I have been reading all year long, crying and celebrating with you every step of the way.

A little history…about to embark on my 5th IVF cycle this year and I’m afraid to say…losing hope.

It has provided so much comfort knowing that I am not alone; knowing that there is an amazing group of women that know exactly how I feel.

I had another sleepless night, tossing and turning, wondering…will this time work?...what if it doesn’t?...what is our next step?..what does my life look like without a child?

I may not know the answer to any of those questions, but it is nice to know that everyone that just read that knows exactly how I feel, no explanation necessary.

Love and Hugs to All,
Nadean

Hi there, I know exactly how you feel i didnt get my 1st BFP till my 5th ivf and to say i was shocked when i say that positive pregnancy test is an understatement!! I have never responded that well in any of my cycles and didnt even get a transfer on the 4th ivf. But please keep the faith it can happen, my 1st bfp ended in m/c at 9wks but my next FET i also got a BFP, it took us a long time to get here but we made it.
My advice to you as its your 5th attempt is plenty of rest during stims - i was told as it was my last shot with my eggs no exercise, cooking, cleaning etc i even went on sick leave and it paid off, some doctors may think its extreme but i got 2 BFPs from that cycle.
You should join one of the current cycling threads for lots of supports
I pray 5th time is your charm/
