Moving onto IVF...

wildcat05

OMG what a day from HELL?we had our consultation with the NP and our RE about moving onto IVF.  The realization of actually moving on to a more expensive and monitored process just to have children really got to me.  Since everything is OOP, it really hit home on what we want to do next.  The NP explained everything and I just felt so numb with my DH next to me asking all the questions.   I couldn?t help it but cry. I know these people are here to help us, but I understand what they are trying to help us with but?:::sigh::: I can?t help but to feel numb and empty?thanks for listening ladies? I pray for us all every night.

Awww, sorry, it sounds like its all hitting you hard right now.  I know it's tough.  I have an IVF consult tomorrow and I'm already feeling alot of the same stuff.  I still CANNOT BELIEVE that I'm at the point with IF where I'll likely end up doing IF.  I'm just in disbelief.  How did I end up here??  Why us?  Meanwhile my friends keep getting KU left and right.  I have SOME insurance coverage (which I am grateful for) but nothing for IVF.  It's quite overwhelming.  Enough about me...

You are in the right place on these boards, as everyone on here is so helpful and inspirational.  And, you're doing the right thing, as hard as it is.  You and DH have each other and you'll get through it.. and hopefully come out of it with a baby!  (or two!)   GL!

I'm so sorry you are having a hard time facing IVF. I have been putting off making an initial consult with an RE b/c I am so freaked out by IVF. I mean, I know I will do it soon but it is really scary. So, I think you are really brave for even going to that meeting at all. I hate that we have to go through this. Good luck with everything. I really hope your baby dreams come true soon! Hang in there!

 

p.s. BEAR DOWN!

I know when we were told we had to do IVF I was completely overwhelmed - I  just couldn't believe that WE had to do that just to get pregnant. What helped me come to terms with it is I told myself, "this is the best thing we can do to make our odds the absolute highest for having a family."

Good Luck!

I'm so sorry you are going through IF.  I am in a similar situation - possibly moving to IVF and totally OOP.  The cost is so overwhelming and there is still no guarantee of a baby!

This board is full of great, supportive women.  Good luck to you!!!

I am so sorry  It's such a weird place to find yourself in.  I'm still in shock.  We didn't go through any IUI's or anything....IVF is our only option, which we swore we wouldn't do, and now here we are gearing up for cycle 1.  Good luck, sweetie....when you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.  (((HUGS)))

I'm sorry sweetie, it is really rough.  Just put one foot in front of the other, you'll get through it.  ((hugs))
