When to make the next appt.

Tea+

So, last moth I guess I wasn't responding well. My RE wanted to do a retrieval anyway since we put so much time, effort and oh yeah money into it. However it was unsuccessful ]: nothing to retrieve. So he tells me to call after I get AF. Well that has come and gone and I find myself having a hard time making a new appt to talk about it. We decided that we would try on out own for a little while and pray for a miracle. I'm trying to be positive about that but knowing my tubes among other areas are not in the right place I'm not very confident. We have one more retrieval paid for so I'm nervous about doing all this and it being another bust. When did you decide to move forward? Did you take time with natural cycles? Did you jump right back on the horse? I know I don't have much time to waste as I'm now 40 but I feel myself reluctant making the next call/ appt. so soon. IF how you are so unfair.

(((hugs))) It's really hard. I don't know your situation, but the chances of success on your own may be tiny, and time is not on your side. I find that when I'm in the midst of treatment I'm willing to try anything and everything, but once I'm away for a while I want nothing to do with it. I don't know if it's the momentum or just task-related tenacity. OH and I are considering going back to just Femara for a while, but that's mainly because I'm really bad at stimming. We're on the verge of cancelling #IVF2, and I have no idea how long we'll wait and what we'll do next. That conversation will likely be happening in the next few days. 

It does seem like going to talk to your doctor about your options would be a good idea. Hope you and OH can find a good solution. ((hugs))

I think your best bet is to call your RE's office and tell them you need a break and ask how much time do you have to do the retrieval you have already paid for. IF takes such a toll on us and if you need a break, you NEED to take a break. I'm so sorry you have to make these choices (((hugs)))

Thanks ladies. It is definitely a struggle. I think I may call this week. The only thing I can do is listen to my RE at this point and pray for a better round.hooefully he has a good plan. Good luck to you both as well. [:
