isnt that the million dollar question - "HOW DO YOU COPE?"

my answer is not very helpful, but over the years has been the only one I have come up with and that is:

You cope because, what other choice do you have? If you want it, you do what you have to.

It sucks, its painful, its devastating and it changes you, but you just cope somehow - because not coping would mean never leaving the house (for all the pregnant women you see), never turning on the television (for the same reason and the stupid soapies with their miracle pregnancies) and just lay in a heap on the floor.

You may very well have plenty of time to do an IVF cycle between the time of end of August and November. With my clinic it was just whenever we decided, then we would go for it the very next cycle. Im sure IVF Australia will be much the same.

Good luck with it all - and hope you have success soon...
