Babydreamtime - I totally hear what your saying and my journey has been no where near as long as yours. I stress because of my age even though there are many whom are older than me on the same journey. Its such a hard road with one minute waiting for AF to arrive to commence a cycle and then she doesnt come when we have an embie on board. Its forever a waiting game. I too have felt that its taken over my life and I cant seem to think of anything else, its obsessive but when its something that we have all yearned for all our whole lives, its hard not too. If you need time out from here, then take it. I dont have any other advice other than there are lots of loving and caring people here whom offer lots of support for when you need it. Take care of yourself.

Baby2bee - I too have noticed Ive been experiencing more AF pain since commencing IVF. Hang in there.
