IVF sort of surreal.

This is more of a reflection and not a complaint:  I was just looking at my own siggie and thought, "I can't believe it says IVF on it". . First, I just never thought it would take this much to get PG.  My mom took 7 years to get pregnant with my older brother, and I always had assumed that it would take some work to get pregnant, but I never thought it would come to this. . .and then we started this whole process, beginning with just Clomid, and working our way up. . to now.  Now that we are here, it is crazy because I feel like, three years ago, IVF was so out of reach for us.  DH has come so far in his feelings about trying to have a baby and the fertility process.  And, in about three weeks, I will be doing my ER and ET.  I can't believe it.  Here's hopin'.

    I understand you so completely.  I was married in June and we started on Clomid in February because I knew that we were going to have issues due to my PCOS.  Never did I imagine it would be this long or this hard to get pregnant.  We actually had decided to be done after the first of the year (maybe two more IUI cycles) and then my doc called with this IVF study.  I sat here in my chair and cried last night because i'm so scared about getting back on this train but i'm also excited about the possibilities.  Good luck to you! Hopefully we will be able to be there through all of this together......... My IVF consult is today.....it is currently 4:30 am EST and i've been awake since 3am.......gonna be a long day.......

    I had a very similar reaction when I started my IVF cycle. Like "is this really my life?" I hope this is "it" for you!!

    I totally relate.  I tell DH all the time that I never thought it would be this hard.  I never thought that I would have to consider DE.

    IF sucks!
