Infertility

Holy SIS!

So...we took one more step closer in our IVF process. I had my SIS (saline infusion sonogram) back on Friday.....looks like a great home for an embryo. But I'll have to admit...it was uncomfortable! Now it's a matter of gathering my meds and waiting for my next visit from AF.


Even more interesting, I am finding it hard to get excited about this cycle of IVF. We have been TTC for over 6 years...so naturally I am used to a NO answer. Our IUI was a NO back in November and I have a close friend that did not conceive on her first round of IVF. I would like to be excited but I am afraid of the possible disappointment. Anyone else feel this way?

Re: Holy SIS!

  • Hi @prtykty84 Welcome back! You're starting ivf at the end of March? Sorry that you haven't had any response yet. Most of the ladies are active in the ivf and iui threads lately. We have been ttgp over 6 years too so I do understand what you're going through. It's difficult to get excited now and as my birthday is nearing again, it's even more so the case. 

    My f are x so hard for you for this cycle! 
    People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

    How I feel all of the time.

  • I can also relate to what you are feeling!  And also like you, we have been TTC for about 6.5 years.  We just completed an FET in February (no luck again), and while I am normally reved up with anticipation during transfer time, I just wasn't feeling it this time around.  I am hopeful though that it was just a slump.  We met with our RE today and I can already tell I am going to be more optimistic the next time.  I think it is helping that she is giving us new options and I am finding things that I can do to try to improve our chances.  I think it is giving me that small feeling of control back. Hang in there!!  It will get better!!
