Thanks so much Kazza02 - it's heartening to read your own story. It does give me some hope. Congratulations too on your DD!
I guess I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet and I'll consider moving clinics, depending on how things go with the next round. Taking a break now, trying TCM/acupuncture and treating my back problem (possibly unrelated but still a pain), and getting a lap this month to check out endo.
It was just such a shock, even though I thought I'd been measured enough in my expectations, esp after the first go, which had quite a poor outcome - I just didn't expect things to get worse, rather than better.
Nothing can prepare you for IVF, right? It's the strangest thing I've experienced, putting it mildly.
Thanks again, best of luck,
WW
Thanks Worrywart. I think a break is a good idea, well I felt it helped me get myself together and make myself stronger both physically and mentally for the next cycle after the two cancelled cycles. I also had a lap done whilst having a break for my own peace of mind. I also tried TCM in conjunction with acupuncture and I like to think maybe the combination of TCM/acupuncture, the naturopath, the break and the new protocol the IVF clinic tried all played a part in helping to improve the outcome.
Take care of yourself and I wish you all the very best for a BFP.
