We all need a vacation

Hi Ladies-
I am back from vacation and I wanted to check in and say hello! I have to say that it was really nice to getaway... my mind has been so preoccupied with IVF and 2IF that I really needed a good mental break. I got the call from my nurse yesterday and she said-- "Glad you had a nice time... now... back to the drawing board." Ugh. She was nice about it, but it made my stomach turn to see that number on the caller ID. The whole process just makes me so anxious. According to the ethics committee, I have one more shot at this... on the 21st day of my cycle, I am going to start Estrace and Ganirelix and then on CD2 I am going to do the same approach as last time-- Lupron, Lo Dose HCG and Gonal F (all at the highest doses)-- I was thinking I should ask if it was worth it to try to change the meds, but I don't really know what other options they have for me.
Anyway- all of you have been on my mind and I am sending you all my best with the advice to take a vacation-- even if it is just a mental vacation. It really helped me to relax a little.
