Awww Sarah :hugs: I've been at work today so haven't had the chance to pop online until now.

I can understand your reasoning behind being apprehensive about IVF. It has got to be one of the most terrifying things I have done in my life. But at the same time one of th most exciting because I can see that this is going to be our best chance of having another baby.

I don't like the thought of giving myself injections to make my body do something it wasn't suppoed to do.
The injections just amplify the processes that occur naturally in your body. Every month you have x amount of follicles that develop x amount of eggs (different quantities each month even), there is only enough hormones in your body naturally to mature 1 egg. What the injections do is give your body the hormones to make all of the available eggs mature so they can be "harvested" (hate that word!). So it is a natural process, just being bumped up a bit

I think the problem with DH is that men are fixers, they want to try & fix what's wrong. So in him telling you to "get over it" is just his way of trying to fix things. I think for men in general (and I'm trying not to be sexist here) it's hard for them to just say, I can understand, it's ok for you to feel like that IYKWIM. Just let him know that you don't want him to fix things, you just need him to give you a hug & tell you that he'll be there when you need him. I told Aaron that a few months ago when he was trying to fix everything & now when he sees I'm down I get an ear & a cuddle which is all I need.


ETA: I might just move this over to the assisted conception area, there are lots of girls there that would have gone through the same things.
