So I'm new here. Don't know anyone that has done IVF, so here I am. I was doing pretty good emotionally until yesterday. Day 4 of FSH yesterday, increased my dose last pm. Headaches and bloating seem to be my big se's so far. We've been trying for over a year, and were hoping to surprise our parents with a grandchild, family still doesn't know were doing IVF or that we're trying. Last nt my BIL called, they're expecting. My first meltdown. I've got 2 friends and 1 cousin that are expecting, but somehow this hurt the most. Anyone else have this happen??
Re: new to board, day 16 of 1st cycle
i think all of us have had meltdowns over other peoples BFP. I sometimes feel like I am a fertility good luck charm for everyone else I know if my life.
I'm sorry you have to be here but welcome to the board. You will get lots of info and support from everyone here.

Welcome to the board. I'm newish too and I already love these ladies. It's so different to be able to relate to people in the same boat.
My BIL and SIL are military and live apart (while she finishes school) and while I certainly wouldn't wish IF on my worst enemy, whenever I know there is a visit (they spend holidays and summer months together when possible) coming up I'm TERRIFIED they will conceive before us. Logically, this makes no sense. But I can't help it.
Anyway, hope you get your BFP soon
This. Hopefully your stay here is short!
For Sure! The Dr should prescribe us meltdowns. hopefully you have some understanding company...and if you don't you have us.
I feel better already...and not as lonely
Thank you girls!
This exactly!
Welcome to the board!
