Vicky,
Thanks for replying. I KNOW exactly what you mean. I have people
telling me that maybe it's stress related etc etc. But anyway I will
keep trying.
I understand what you mean about the heavier letdowns - because my
doctor referred IVF as `the end of the road - the last resort', and that
was three years ago, and here I am - at the last resort. However I
truly believe that it will happen to me some day. I have to keep
positive. I don't have too much side effects as a result of going
through IVF, my tummy becomes bloated but fortunately I dont feel too
sick or anything. But the needles do hurt, it hurts even more when it
doesn't work in the end and you are left with nothing, I feel really
lonely and my husband tried to be as supportive as he can but he doesnt
understand why I cry so much. Right now I am waiting for the bills for
this failed cycle.
Vicky I wish you the very best of luck with your decisions, I think
there are alot of people out there (like yourself) who make great
mothers but are unable to have children. I hope your dreams come true
for you one day. (sooon!!!)
Cheers,
Drew
