Infertility

Scared sh@tless for IVF # 2

I've been having trouble with committing to my new clinic and I just realized it's because I'm so scared to start IVF #2. I can handle the physical aspects of the cycle it's just the memory of how upsetting the 2 previous failures have been. I don't want to go down the road of beta hell and empty sack ultrasounds again.

Re: Scared sh@tless for IVF # 2

  • dude, I am right there with you. I'm never going to be as excited about a BFP again. I might just have to stick around this board permanently out of fear.

    just take it one day at a time and we'll be here to help you deal with it!

  • Ditto about new clinics! I was so happy to be with a different doctor. No matter how many IVFs I choose to do, it will always be scary. Especially the big fat check I have to write each time.
  • I know what you mean. Just remember, every cycle is different.

  • Monty, I am so with you on this one. I didn't make it as far as you with your cycles, but I am scared that all the work will be for nothing and we won't make it to transfer again. I will be thinking lots of good thoughts for you!! ((HUGS))

  • I am sorry , Hon.

    I can really empathize with how you feel.  It is one of the reasons , like you, I have waited so long.

    I just keep trying to tell myself that all that has happened has sucked, but not trying, in the end, would suck even more.

    Hugs.... you can do it!  We will be here to cheer you on every step of the way! :)

  • I know it sounds cliche, but I really know exactly how you feel. If I do manage to afford another cycle, I know I will certainly never feel the same excitement I did with the first. But actually, that's good - I don't want to set myself up for disappointment again.
  • It is so scary to start again and that is why I keep draggin my feet and haven't scheduled appt. with new RE.  In the end it is scarier to never try and I know it is going to happen for you and DH very soon!

    You are in good hands and they have an amazing lab, your embies will be in good hands too :)  I don't know if you are doing ICSI but the embryologist at Cornell is the inventor :)

    Oh and I just read the your response on the post where you paged me and I too am so excited to see your BFP, those are tears I cannot wait to cry :)  It's so crazy how much you want to see your girls succeed and make it to the other side, sometimes I make deals with God, like if I have to wait please let it happen for Monty or Smilee.  It's going to happen for all of us :)
