Hi Girls - picked up my bag of goodies yesterday, had our embryologist chat which I really enjoyed and then saw the psych for our pre IVF counselling session, which was not so enjoyable. She asked how I was feeling about doing this cycle (btw we're doing an ICSI cycle due to the PGD) and I said I was feeling quite confident about it and she said she didn't want me to get my hopes up so would like me to be cautiously optimistic. I was horrified and felt awful then! She said she doesn't sugar coat and statistics show that with people like me with low AMH the chances are I could get no eggs and even if I do they may not be very good ones and just to be prepared. quite honestly, now I'm feeling like what's the bloomin point then!!! Half of me thinks I might as well quit while I'm behind, the other half wants to prove her wrong. Argh not what I was expecting, I thought they would be more about making you feel comfortable and relaxed. She told me due to all my miscarriages etc I should handle it all quite well, but when I asked for coping strategies on controlling my moods on the hormones and she said there are none, you just have to ride it out. Just thought I'd get all your opinions before I stress my little head off!! Is this normal for them or am I really a hopeless case??
