Traci and Dancola, anything I can think of writing to you both just doesn't seem to say it.........I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. I don't how it really feels but you both must be utterly devastated. After everthing we go thru.
Take care of yourselves and your DH's and take time to heal physically and emotionally.
Hi All, Thank you for all the kind words. To be honest I am not overly upset...but completely frustrated and down.. I had my huge cry when I ovulated naturally and I only had 6 follies to begin with....this was the worst for me. I am staying with my healthy habits..although I did have a cup of coffee today and a donut! I needed it!!
Debra - my thoughts are with you tomorrow!! And I have everything crossed and the baby dust cloud (which never came to Munich) is heading up your way!!
just wanted to let you know that i am so sorry for your loss..
for me a neg was a huge loss...
please know tha you both have friends here when you are ready
Hi Heather - well my colleagues were shocked to see me with a huge coffee and donut! (I seriously could have used a bottle of wine with a straw in it!) They thought I was celebrating leaving work next week
I too gave up coffee and wine.....gave up sugar a long time ago! I am still drinking decaf though as it is getting a bit cooler here and I can't imagine winter without hot drinks.
I trust that you will be spending the weekend with DH and will get that glass of wine you are hankering for.
I totally understand your decision to give your body and mind a rest...I know I feel like a train wreck at the moment. I guess I am also like you in that I experienced the most stress prior to EC and up until fertilisation, and although I am remaining positive about the result, I don't think I will be totally shattered by a negative result. I have very much focused on my clinic's stats for 1st timers in my age group (about 46%) and have remained realistic about my chances. The stats for compounded treatments are much better (about 68%) so I am positive that one day it will happen!
Take it easy and enjoy your little break (and the wine).
Cheers
Heather
