I think the whole process is very draining. My naturopath put it very succinctly : it's a frightening and lonely process. Especially if you're going through treatments back to back. We do one month on and one month off with the Fertility Dept of RHW - they will work with us for a year, so if we have to use the whole year I suspect I will need a whopper of a holiday at the end of it.

I found the month with no FSH injections was AWFUL. I was very depressed and very flat. It was really hard to find joy in anything - and I pretty much didn't. We still did the Pregnyl injections, and I asked to come off them early when it was clear there'd been no fertilisation. I just needed a chance to straighten up. I'm glad I did that because I was back on track in no time.

That being said, I also take a supplement called Neuro Calm by Metagenics. It helps with seratonin production, which is the chemical that makes you feel good. If you can get your hands on some, I recommend it as a good support.

Other than that - be extra kind to yourself. Eat well, take your vitamins, and get at least 9hrs sleep a night. You don't need life to run you down while you go through this.

Take good care.
