HIAll, Well im back!! Like the proverbial bad penny i always turn up..lol...

Had my review appointment today,and i kinda just wanted to see what clinic was sayinf before i got REALLY involved this cycle,if you know what i mean!!

So here goes.. they cant give me a reason why my 3 cycles have failed because on 2 cycles,they've been good embryos,i knew the last cycle which was FET they wernt good embryos,but they just put it down to luck (bloody bad luck if you ask me!!), anyway they say your chances increase each time you do a fresh cycle,so fingers crossed..

Start my buserelin on day 2 of next AF,which should mean i start on 2nd of October if AF shows on time....so YEEE HAAA, here i go again..

Jeck,Im so glad you keep getting your miracles,i sincerely hope you get the best miracle of all this time,ive missed you im glad to be back...

Tonia,how are you and when do you start this time? Im sorry ive not been in regular touch,but im back in "ivf mode",so looking forward to hearing from you..

I'll have to look through the back dated posts to get accquainted with all you other ladies,hope to hear from you all soon..

Take care,loads of love to you all...Nicola..xxxx

Good Evening Ladies,

Just running out but wanted to check in.

Jeck that is fantastic. I am so happy for you. One less thing to stress over. It seems as if all the gods are looking after you this cycle. And thank you so much for the wonderful list. It is so hard to keep track of everyone. I am going to start my Lupron on the 10th so I am one day before you.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend.

Take care,
Nancy

Good Morning Everyone,

Here is a question I am posing to the group. Does everyone else other than me worry about everything? I seem to be worried about everything. Not only about the IVF treatment but about the medication, work, my family, my husband, $$, would I make a good mother, what would we do if the baby is not healthy?, how will I handle the pregnancy? the delivery? will my cat and the baby be ok together? etc ...

Am I the only worry wart in the group? I would like to know that I am not the only freak out there and that these are common concerns that everyone has. Does anyone else seem to worry a lot about all this? And if so how do you deal with it? And for those of you who don't, how do you do that?

Thank you ladies and have a great day.

Nance

Nance - I, too, worry about everything.

I worry about how a new baby will affect my two older sons. I worry that if the IVF doesn't work that I will have trouble accepting that I am finished trying to have a baby. I am worried that I will not be able to give myself the shots I need (because by husband faints dead away everytime he sees a needle). I feel bad when I read about all the women who do not have any children, and here I am wanting more. I feel guilty because I want another one so much. I worry that I will have repeats of my previous pregnancies (m/c, 3+months of bedrest, etc). We all have worries and it is only right. Keep your chin up and remember. The only stupid question is the one no one asked.

Good Luck!

Racheal

Hi Nance, I think because of the situation we find our selves in,its normal to freak out!! Every hospital appointment is a worry,one more hurdle to get over so hopefully we can have ET which results in a healthy pregnancy. Then how do we cope emotionally,its a helluva way to get pg,then the worry that we get past every trimester,so yep i think we all worry,i think id get a bigger scare if i woke one day and realised i hadnt worried that particular day!!!

Motherhood is the greatest gift of all,and i hope and pray that its time for all of us to have that gift....

Ive not been around much lately,tried to block it all out for a while,but now im like oh oh here we go again,and i'll spend next 4 weeks waiting for AF,and worrying bout start of injections again.
Think we just kinda learn to deal with it,and get on with it,seems to be the only way..

Take care..love Nicola..xxx

Hi Girls!

I have been out of town for a while, family wedding. Lots of fun to see everyone we haven't seen in a while.

Jeck- thank you for putting the list together! I do much better on these boards when there is a list to look at.

Nance- yep, I am a worry wart. I worry about things until I am blue in the face. My DH always has the attitude of 'don't worry about it, things will work out!' I wish I could be like that. I have a major fear of failure in everything I do so the part I worry about the most is getting a BFN and feeling like a total failure. Nictor is right it's a helluva way to get pregnant!

cmoscar- I am a teacher so I laughed when you said the only stupid question is the one no one asked. I used to tell my students the same things. With that said here is my stupid question-

hee hee
Everyone keeps saying they will start their lupron shots. I thought I only had to take one lupron shot. My clinic said I have to come in to get it on the 14th because it is hard to mix the right amount or something. So do we take one or more than one?? Or was I not listening (as usual) and I am thinking of a totally different shot??

take care everyone-
jenn

Just want to see if my ticker works.

Ooh- I just hit preview and it DOES work!! yippy!
doesn't take much to make my day!!

Nance · Post by **Nance** » Tue Sep 05, 2006 7:26 pm

Thank you everyone for your responces. It is so nice to hear that I am not the only obsessive worrier in the group.

Rachael - I also have to give myself all my shots because my dh works funky hours and will not be home at the time I will have to have them. I'm sure we will do fine and have lots of funny stories about how we have become contortionists.

Nicola - I also worry when I don't have anything to worry about. It is amazing how we do this to ourselves. With all the meds we are taking I wish there was a chill-out pill we can take to make the worries go away.

Jenn - I so understand what you are saying. My biggest problem is that I am a control freak and that I hate doing anything that I have no control over. The less control I have the more I worry because I never trust or believe that anything will go my way. Also regarding the Lupron, from what I understand there are several different types of protocols that you can be on. With the Long Protocol you take Lupron shots the cycle before your IVF cycle to shut down your system (I'm sure someone can explain this better). I think with the other protocols (which must be what you are on) you take Lupron to make you ovulate before the retrieval.

Talk to you all soon.

Take care.
Nance
