I'd choose personal expereriences any day
Nic - Your follies sound like they are growing nicely - From experience, I think they should leave it at 150 too, but who am I to really know what I'm talking about???!!!!
Its great that your body has reacted from the 150 dose - mine didn't even budge until I got up over the 300
Hoping your scan tomorrow shows everything moving along as it should be xxx

Well I now think my clinic are a pack of incompetent morons. They FORGOT to schedule me even though I called TWICE three weeks ago to say I had begun pill as Dr asked me to. So, now they can't fit me in an I have to wait another 3 weeks.
For the last four bloody years, incompetent professionals have delayed our dream of a sibling for our son who is now already 4. I want to give up already. Its too hard. Its always too hard, and it is because people dont do their jobs and it affects my life and my sanity, deeply. I cancelled a holiday for this, lots money over it.
I am so angry.

Hi everyone
I hope you are all doing ok today.
Is it ok if I 'vent' for a minute?
I hope I dont offend anyone by whinging about this.
I have 8 days to go until I find out if we are pregnant. We had to cancel oour first cycle as my follies didnt grow. I am so nervous and cant get out of my head that it might not work, it is driving me crazy. I am so depressed today. I know I should be positive but I cant shake the feeling it is not going to happen for us...........I should be grateful we got this far as last time we didnt but....I just cant help it.

Sorry for my outburst. I was so angry. I ended up contacting my FS and saying is there anything that can be done? 10 minutes later MIVF called and had had a cancellation and I can start immediately.. Coincidence or not, I'll take it. I see why this is called a rollercoaster.

Carla,
Hugs and hang in there sweet try not to let the neagtives creep in here are some affirnations I use, they may help you. Best of Luck
It is safe for me to have my baby.
There is nothing to fear.
I am calm and relaxed. My baby feels my calmness and shares
it.
The baby and I are ready for our lives together to unfold.
The baby is naturally doing what he or she should.
I love my body.
It has served me well.
Now I must share my body.
The life within calling out every day to my blood,
To my inner most thoughts.
Yes I can hear you.
I can feel you.
Growing inside without care.
I await your every movement with joy.
I know this is my ultimate purpose in life.
To bring forth life.
With hopeful ease.
There are times when I will have moments of discomfort.
I will remember that this is part of the whole.
My body is talking to me.
I will stay healthy.
Not putting in my body that which I wish to keep from the child once born.
I will stay steady in mind.
Knowing that when the time arrives,
I will need the steady focus for the task at hand.
I believe in myself.
I have been given the strength of billions of women before me.
I will remember that this is a temporary situation.
Making it the best I can will give me the best memories,
For once born,
I will never experience this child inside again.
I will love my body.
For as my body grows,
So will the attachment to this child.
An attachment that will never leave me,
All the days of my life.
As each new day dawns,
I will be thankful for it.
Awaiting, with patience,
The coming of the child,
And the birth of my family.

hey all
thanks for the welcomes and i am feeling good about this cycle - may it be our last!
TL - i am going to print this affirmation out - thank you for sharing it. do you read louise hay?
arielle sweetie, you are doing amazing this TWW. i love your attitude and wish you the best hun.
carla - vent away hun. we are people that can totally relate to how you are feeling and no one will mind you sharing. it is a tough road and you have been through a lot already. if it helps you to feel more normal, i heard on the radio that IVF is more stressful for a lot of couples than coping with cancer.
BB - i am glad to hear it worked out for you in the end but what an emotional ride you have been on (no doubt one of many with the whole TTC thing) :hugs:
holly - so lovely to see you around. i hope there is some relief for your legs soon.
mursla - best of luck with your FET.
nellie - best of luck tomorrow with your EPU. it is nice you are getting it done so early in the morning. take it easy afterwards.
nic - so happy you are finally on the IVF cycle hun. you have been so patient these last few months. glad to hear you have some nice follies - bugger about the long drive again.
bec - i feel for you, cancellation is a shock. it is good you have an appt with your FS to get some answers and focus on where to from here with you TTC plan. :hugs:
to all
me picked up my lucrin today so just waiting for the red flow....

Dusty,
Go with the affirmation I don't read Loauise hay but I found this to be good

Just thinking on that comment of IVF being more stressful than cancer...
It's probably due to the fact that there's public awareness and acceptance of cancer. It's something that can actually be talked about in normal, every day conversation. Infertility is hidden, it's secret. It's not something that is normally talked about, so it has the effect of isolating the people who suffer from it.
A cancer sufferer gets sympathy and understanding and a lot of support. People know when they have tests and procedures and rally around.
Infertility sufferers... get to do all the tests and procedures alone. Make up excuses for why they need to have yet another day off.
Yes, I can see why IVF is more stressful than cancer...

Thanks again Tigger.........your kind words have helped.....

i was reading a post in another thread and only just realised that 2 of the 3 Dixie Chicks had been through IVF to conceive their children. they wrote a song about it afterwards.
and BW i agree it isn't so hard to understand or believe. i think the hardest thing for me is when people say we are putting this stress on ourselves, because they say it is our choice to do this and we cld choose not to do it (ie try and have kids). they just don't get it
here are the lyrics, they speak to me. on their Taking The Long Way album
SO HARD
Back when we started
We didn't know how hard it was
Living on nothing
But what the wind would bring to us
Now we've got something
I can imagine fighting for
So why is fighting all that we're good at anymore
And sometimes I don't have the energy
To prove everybody wrong
And I try my best to be strong
But you know it's so hard
It's so hard
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
It's so hard when it doesn't come fast
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
It's so hard
It felt like a given
Something a woman's born to do
A natural ambition
To see a reflection of me and you
And I'd feel so guilty
If that was a gift I couldn't give
And could you be happy
If life wasn't how we pictured it
And sometimes I just want to wait it out
To prove everybody wrong
And I need your help to move on
Cause you know it's so hard
It's so hard
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
It's so hard when it doesn't come fast
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
So hard
I can live for the moment
When all these clouds open up for me to see
And show me a vision
Of you and me swimming peacefully
Last night you told me
That you can't remember
How to feel free
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
It's so hard when it doesn't come fast
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy, easy
It's so hard

dusty - i absolutely love this song - and it brings me to tears so often - but in the right way! here are women who could quite honestly have anything they want - and yet they've had to go through this incredibly tough journey to get to have a baby
the two that went through it are sisters Emily and Marty - and they make mention of it in their movie. we went to their concert October last year, and the passion when they were singing this live was just amazing - gives me goosebumps thinking about it...
