I can completely relate to how you feel. Stay strong, and best wishes with this next cycle. I’m not sure what’s more draining, the actual procedures, or the emotions that follow. But, just think happy baby thoughts. PS..Thanks for the blog roll help.

Thanks. We’re trying to get away to Hawaii for Thanksgiving. That should loosen me right up! : )

Amy, I’m sorry it didn’t work this time. I know what you mean about setting limits and needing to focus back on you and your relationship with your husband without all the craziness of the drugs. I have to admit there are times when I feel sad about our journey so far, but I do feel better physically and emotionally now that I’ve begun to focus on taking care of me again and enjoying my best friend. Hugs to you.

Thanks, Susan.

Sweetpea, I definitely need to get out and do some fun things. We didn’t do _anything_ this summer because we were so wrapped up in this.

If there is any way for you to take a short break, perhaps that would be the way to go right now. Sounds like you need a breather. Take some time to gather up some energy, do some fun things, enjoy a glass of ice cold mojito, take long walks (or short runs), and make sure that your marriage is as strong as can be. I know it’s terribly difficult, but maybe putting the longing away for a moment to remember and feel the good things you have in your life right now. It’s really tough, I know that all too well, but it’s also important. Hang in there!

Sorry for you guys but I think all your decisions are smart ones.

A little bit of time to relax and breathe sounds so good right now.

Agreed about the limits. We knew from the beginning that 2-3 times was our max. We do have 2 frozen, which will be a last resort if the next fresh fails. And then we’ll be DONE done.

sorry, that sucks. I think it is smart to set limits, and have a plan. Hope you get some time to focus on you.

Chin up, relax, and go back to you for a bit; then try the fresh cycle.

Thanks, Stephanie. It wasn’t nearly as disappointing as the IVF failure, but we were still hoping that it would work.

Thinking of you. I know how much this sucks. I am sorry that you have to go through this again.
