Hi girls,

Im a new member and have commenced my first ICSI cycle. I am due to take my trigger injection tomorrow with OPU on Saturday and ET on Monday. Im both excited and nervous. My ultrasound this morning showed 6 follicles, not sure if thats good or not. The nurse said it wasnt bad.

I only have one ovary as the other was removed in July (I have severe Endo and had a
10cm cyst on my ovary)

I just dont know what to expect with the whole process and am feeling very anxious and stressed. As much as I know stress isnt good for me, I cant seem not to.

My partner is great but since Im the one with the fertility problem he just doesnt quite understand how inadequate I feel as a woman and I feel like the burden of it all is on my shoulders. Friends dont seem to understand either and just say "good luck with it"

Its been a really trying year as Ive had two laparatomies, the first was an emergency so was only a band-aid one and the 2nd had 3 surgeons involved.

I was hoping to get some peoples thoughts on how to cope with a first cycle and what to do to try and eleviate the stress.

Thanks alot,

Tania
