Cheryl - i can so sympathise with how you're feeling hun. i had no response to the meds at first, even though i felt all the little twinges around my ovaries. i was so heart broken, and felt terrible about the whole thing. it took a lot of soul searching (and some very smart people both IRL and on BB) for me to see the bigger picture - i now look at every step in this journey (and unfortunately there are a lot of them!) as a small science experiment - every injection, every change of dosage, change of protocol - is another experiment - and every small bit of information we gain is one more piece of the puzzle getting us closer to achieving our dream. i know it's hard to look at it that way, but thought i'd share - it's the way i've helped myself deal with the emotional side of things and i think it is what has kept me somewhat sane. i set myself a challenge a few months back - to see the silver lining in every dark cloud (no matter how hard it is to find) - your FS is taking small steps to help you to get a response without overstimulating you and as painful as it is to go slowly and not seeinstant results, long term you WILL achieve what you set out to achieve. it's ok - and so very normal - to feel angry/hurt at the moment - and yes - the meds mess with your emotions too!sending you the biggest of hugs hun.

BW - you have nothing to feel guilty for hun! no matter whether you got a positive on your first or your 10th transfer, you have still had to go to hell and back to get your BFP - and i doubt anyone would be hurt or upset by that - yes, i'm sure there are more than just me that feels envious - but not that you've gotten your BFP first go - it's that you've succeeded - and hun, getting news of BFP's in this thread is just more inspiration for us all to keep on going when we're feeling down. please don't feel guilty for your success - you deserve to be happy. i'll second what Jo said - you were one of the first people to talk to me in the clomid/metformin thread when i joined in December, and you've helped to inspire me and to keep me going when the struggle has felt too much! you're a gem hun - and you truly deserve to celebrate what you've achieved - not to feel guilty

ATT - the fourth isn't too far away hun - you'll be on your way very soon!

to everyone else, a huge hello! seems to have been so many messages since this morning that i'm struggling with personals - will BBL to try to catch up again!
