We are also in the process of trying for no. 3. And as BDT said I could have written your post myself too Meredith. I continually feel guilty and question whether we are doing the right thing when we already have 2 healthy children. I feel like I should just be happy with what I have (which I am - I am soooo grateful to have them) but I love them just so much and they bring so much joy to our lives and I know another baby would be a gift to them as well.
We were supposed to be having a FET tomorrow of the last of our frozen embies but found our yesterday that neither of our two day one embryos really made it to day 3 with any success so will, barring a miracle, be unsuitable for transfer tomorrow. So we are back to the drawing board in terms of another stim cycle which I'm feeling really shattered about as was quietly hoping/optimistic that we might have avoided another stim cycle. So I think we will go ahead with another stim but feel that both financially and emotionally if we didn't get pg from this cycle we wouldn't really be in a position to continue to carry on. (Deep breath........)
BDT - so pleased to see that you have your twin girls. You probably don't remember but you were the first person to welcome me to BB when I wrote my first post many moons ago. So I am thrilled to see your success. Fingers crossed for more of the same for you.
Hi Kmond - so hoping one of your embies makes it for today. If not, then lets hope a fresh ivf does the trick. It is a lot of pressure to have on any one cycle isn't it?
Hence my purposeful avoidance of any discussion of when to stop. Need a big lotto win so at least the money stress is out of the scenario... there's enough to stress about as it is!!!
meredith. i am preg with baby no 4. i had 3 natural, all no probs then after DH had vas i wanted more.
we did IVF/ ICSI. 2 x full stim cycles. 6 BFN's and finally a BFP.
i felt a little like you, thinking some women don't even have one and i am wanting 4 ?
but the thing is the feeling didn't go away and it took 3 years for me to get my BFP.
