Hi MrsH,

I would have to agree with the other girls, my first (and only so far) IVF cycle was very overwhelming. Lots of appointments, trying to fit it around work and other events was quite stressful. Like Lenny said "things don't always go to plan" - my predicted dates were out about a week so it's really hard to guess where you will be at. My personal experience with the drugs was being spaced out and forgetful, also the retrieval left me quite sore. Sorry to be negative but you don't need to have anymore stresses around as I'm sure you already realise - it's a real rollercoaster.

I've also been trying for 2 1/2 years and I know exactly what you mean when you say you don't want to wait any longer - each day you have to wait really sucks! But if you get all worked up and stressed out that's not going to be good for your chances either. Good luck with what you decide, I hope you're lucky and only need one go at it
