now that you're...so sorry about your poops. :(<br /><br />now that you're pregnant you probably don't need to know this, but i wanted to share anyway. <br /><br />every time i get a BFN - which has been every time since jan 2008 except once, which sadly ended in m/c, i feel so defeated and angry. then at some point shortly there after, i fill with strength and my anger turns into focus and fight. it's only then i can realize that this isn't over until i want it to be over. and i don't want it to be over until i have a baby in my arms. it's then that i again allow hope to seep back in and before i know it, i forget what happened and i'm focused on what WILL happen. because it will. <br /><br />now send some of that special baby making juju my way please. :) xo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-7123116301313327302010-08-14T03:55:09.640-04:002010-08-14T03:55:09.640-04:00Hi darling I am so sorry that you are feeling so a...Hi darling I am so sorry that you are feeling so awful. I don't mind the TMI at all but UGH!!! You so deserve a break from feeling like this. Hope it all clears up soon. <br />As far as how I've gotten through it all-I don't know either. I have leaned on DH a lot, tried therapy, participated on forums and started my blog. These have all helped. Blogging the most because I learned I wasn't alone. <br />So until tomorrow-can't wait to hear your results and huge love to you!!AnxiousMummyto3https://www.blogger.com/profile/13249605078664682478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-42093745958529854542010-08-13T19:36:01.936-04:002010-08-13T19:36:01.936-04:00I just sat down and counted how many cycles we'...I just sat down and counted how many cycles we've done....125 - holy freak!<br /><br />125 = 8 losses, so for 117 cycles we've been unsuccessful in getting knocked up, those are pretty shitty odds.<br /><br />As for how you keep going. I can't answer that because I don't know. The ones who tell you it's worth it, are the ones who have gotten the prize - well of course it's worth it if you get the prize duh but what if you don't? Is the heartache, pain and time worth it then? I don't know. I wish I knew.<br /><br />Your symptoms sound promising though and I'm looking forward to reading great news.<br /><br />xxxx~stinkb0mb~https://www.blogger.com/profile/13933191141338188027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-14275667798013586442010-08-13T19:17:21.885-04:002010-08-13T19:17:21.885-04:00There is something to be said for only having to d...There is something to be said for only having to do a "big" treated/medicated cycle only once.

And like you said... we hope that, one day, it will all be worth it.<br /><br />Having gone through so many cycles and several losses, I will share with you what others have said to me- even when a cycle fails, the doctors learn from it. It may be something little, like that they need to put in more embryos, or something big, like, in our case, that there is a chromosomal issue. So maybe that is it... I do it by allowing the knowledge gained by each failed cycle to help keep that leeeeeetle string of hope connected to my heart.Just mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671919237872985299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-53057117249134797292010-08-13T15:32:31.572-04:002010-08-13T15:32:31.572-04:00Frankly, I don't know how I've done it. Lo...Frankly, I don't know how I've done it. Lots has been sacraficed- friends, work, my sex life. I guess there are untapped reserves of strength in all of us. I have felt the way you feel today on more occasions than I can shake a fork or stick at...<br /><br />I have had that strange constipation and diarrhea thing. And the IVF 2 ww is harder than anything really. (But frankly, for me, not as hard as the 2ww following the beta.)<br /><br />For what it's worth, these are very good signs. And yes, you've had it easier than some, but you are still one of us. There is nothing easy about infertility, no matter how long it lasts. We all have challenges in our lives. <br /><br />Work and IVF don't mix well. It sucks.Glass Case of Emotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955456197879910244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-36440006336543118032010-08-13T14:48:49.480-04:002010-08-13T14:48:49.480-04:00Ugh, I'm waiting tensely with you!

I wonder sometimes, but really cannot fathom. <br /><br />I'm not even in a cycle right now, and I feel done. Life just feels like it is all too much. I feel like a loser for not being able to hold it together, but here I am on the couch, called in sick today, because I just can't manage to leave the house.<br /><br />I wish I could invite you to sit here with me. On the couch. with a cup of hot coco (and/or a mimosa). cuddled in a warm soft blanket. watching an old 80's romantic comedy. <br /><br />Oh friend, this is so hard.foxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05482866425915180237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-33387791743882907422010-08-13T13:28:40.774-04:002010-08-13T13:28:40.774-04:00I don't know how they do it either - but you c...I don't know how they do it either - but you can borrow some strength from me to get you through the next day of waiting.

I didn't ...I don't know how I have done it. I didn't think I could to be honest. Yet, two years later (speaking of assisted fertility only) I do think it has all been worth it. And like you, once we got tested, we were presented with only one option, straight to IVF with ICSI. but we had an awful lot of crap our way too, despite the straight forward answer to our problems, despite the perfect cycles. You hang in there, I remember that through the various 2ww following embryo transfer (I had 6!) I went through a different panel of emotions. So what you are feeling is normal, it's not you going insane, is this IF shit playing its game. Not long my friend not long. And I too had those horrible dreams, I actually worked out that my dreams normally would tell me one way or the other how the cycle would turn out, but yet again...who knows.
