i am so sorry i know the hurt....Whats next

Crystal&Trevon

Is it weird that I feel like a miscarried? DH & I feel like we are mourning the death of our babies. My Dr said we can try again & he is recommending a fresh ivf cycle instead of frozen embryo transfer. SOOOO...as soon as I get AF I go for us/bloodwork & start birthcontrol pills again. After my last pill...we move on to stimulants...I can't believe we have to do this all over again. I am trying to think of some positive thoughts like at least the school year is over & dr appointments will be easier & I won't need to find a sub for my classes. Plus I am always much more relaxed in the summer. I hate this so much!!!!!!!

I know incredibly difficult this is for you. Hugs to you and DH. Take the time to grieve this loss. I wish you the best of luck with this next cycle. Call me if you want to talk.

hugs, pheobe

Gosh, it is so hard isn't it? I wish with all my might you would have had a different outcome. Let yourselves grieve for what could have been and then when you start your new cycle throw all of the positive energy you can muster into it. We'll be rooting for you all the way! Hang in there sweetie.

Hugs,

Take a breath and grieve this cycle........ so many of us have been there. This little roller coaster is such a hard one. Good to hear you have a plan in place.

Have they done assisted hatching or glue? Just a couple ideas. Maybe try eating pineapple to aid in implatation. There is a reason for all of the valleys in this they don't always make us feel very good but hopefully something can be learned to help the next time.

hugs................................

I'm a graduate from this board and have been checking in on things over here from time to time. I've been following your path and am so sorry about your cycle. It is completely understandable for you and DH to grieve this and you should allow yourselves that. Every cycle is a learning experience...the docs learn more about your body, how it responds, etc. And..I'm a huge believer in things happen for a reason. We may not understand them or definitely not agree with them, but there's a reason bigger than what we realize.

It took me four cycles to get my little stud muffin five years ago but each and every cycle we changed something for the better. I ended up with MESA (the sperm was surgically removed from DH as he had a vasectomy), IVF/ICSI/AH. The assisted hatching did the trick for me.

I also think you may have something there with your summer being more calm..not to mention now you know what to expect so the anxiety level is decreased (a little anyway LOL).

I wish you the best of luck and will continue to hop over and check on things. The ladies on this board is literally what got me through....support, questions, advice, just someone for me to vent to. I know when I was on here we had many times when we would just post a "vent" message and as soon as you typed it all out and hit submit....someone you felt better. So lean on them/us. That's what this board is for.

I too went through two failed IVF cycles, many IUI cycles that I could never quite get to IVF due to poor response. Every cycle is a loss and always will be, but it's also a learning tool for the Dr's as well as the patient to see what works and what doesn't.

I'm hoping and praying that you reach your goal on this next cycle.
