Tam - I believe that longer you are on the IVF and doing the drugs and dealing with the relationship issues the easier it gets - sorry. It's like a lesson is learnt each time and hopefully you both can move on from it. But in saying that, I also think there is a rollercoaster effect on the relationship (ups and downs etc). In addition, there are the other life issues that impact on the relationship and if by chance there is high stress in other areas of your life then going through IVF also becomes tougher. Ongoing BFN and "maybes" s*ck - in that you can demonstrate focus and committment for little or no reward. I personally have a mantra that says I totally and completely accept myself. Sometimes it works and sometimes a night on the booze works!!!

====> My protocol is a new one for me and is for poor responders:
CD2-6: clomid 100mg
CD2- trigger: gonalf 300IU
Regular scans from CD5 to monitor follie size, when dominant follie reaches 14mm then oragulaton until trigger.

Hopefully.......we get to ET!!!
