    2nd IVF cycle: starting tomorrow & scared!

    During the first IVF cycle, I was so hopeful and excited. When I found out I wasn't pregnant, I felt badly but was able to start looking forward to the next cycle pretty quickly. Now, it's time to start the second cycle, and I'm so scared it won't work this time. Or ever. It's so hard to let go and accept that I can't control this. That there's nothing I can do about this (besides eating well & acupuncture, which I am doing). I may just be too old now at 40 for a pregnancy. I'm terrified. What will we do if this doesn't work? We've been trying now since we got married three years ago, just assuming that it would work eventually. After all it's something so many take for granted.

    Big hug luminescent. I don't think there's anything i can say to take away the nervousness only that i too am doing my 2nd ivf cycle. 40 isnt too old you still have a few more years up your sleeve! As long as you get one little bubba right?! Come join us in the LTTTC & AC thread. We are pretty busy in there at the moment but the more the merrier
    Sorry I'm on my phone ATM so can't post the link for you. But I trust you'll find us

    Thanks for your support, everyone. It really does feel better to know that others are going through the same challenges.
