TTC After a Loss

I should be excited..... But I'm not

So I saw my RE today for my second (and apparently last) depot Lupron injection. He gave me a tentitive FET date.... October 3rd. I wish I could say I'm excited about this, but I'm terrified. The RE also said that he wants to do some sort of lining biopsy to make the embryo more likely to implant successfully.... Sadly I just feel like this is all a waste of time and energy.

Someone talk me off this ledge please!!

Re: I should be excited..... But I'm not

  • I wish I knew more about Lupron and FET, but I'm so sorry you're feeling so discouraged. It's such a helpless feeling. Hugs to you.

  • Lots of (((hugs))). This process is so hard and it's difficult to stay positive, but you never know what could happen. I had an endometrial biopsy ("scrape") before my FET as well.

    Thank you.
    An FET is a frozen embryo transfer and the Lupron is a nasty drug they have me on to treat my adenomyosis so that I can hopefully stay pregnant..... Hopefully that makes some sort of sense :)
    I appreciate the hugs :)

  • Thanks ladies!

    This whole process just sucks. It sucks for everyone here because our joy has been tainted. I'm just scared of hurting all over again and of all the worry that comes before the hurt.

    Thank you for the support and hugs! :)

  • I have a lot of faith in FETs with a lot of my IF friends finding success that way. The most recent three all had the lining scratch done too! You have time to get excited, but after all we've been through I totally get how it's hard. Maybe as time draws closer.

I know the thought of another disappointment, whether it's a failed cycle or a MC is terrifying, but how exciting is it that this FET could turn into your rainbow? Hang I'm there lady! ((Hugs))

  • I hear you o2girl. I'm finding it hard to be excited this FET cycle. It's a combination of being jaded but also wanting to protect your heart. As others have said to me, I'll hold on to hope for you. There is a good chance this can work and I will continue to root for you and be excited for you, even when you can't be.

    And lupron just freaking sucks- I'm a week into my lupron headache/fog and it just makes everything worse. Hang in there lady! ((Hugs))
