Trouble TTC
Is it normal?
That I am terrified now that we are actually doing the IVF? Not so much for the actual procedure or anything. I know medically I've gone through much worse. I'm so afraid...the words, "last chance" keep going through my head and it terrifies me. Does that make me abnormal. That I'm not excited? Just scared?

Re: Is it normal?
Completely normal. ((Big hugs)) Try to remain as positive as you can. I understand your fears.
I had to keep thinking that I would regret not having this shot. And that it's all I can do.
Honestly you never know what the future holds. You can't control it but you can make oportunities.
Even if right now it seems imposible.
You can't control how you feel but you can acknowledge it, work on undertanding where it comes from and accepting consequences, so you can plan and move ahead. And it is hard.
Totally normal.
The question is, is it worth it for you?
Hugs Heather, I know you're having a rough time. You'll get through it. You'll figure it out.
TTC since 1/2008
Totally normal. I was way more scared of the emotional ramifications of an unsuccessful cycle than the pain of the shots, ER, etc.
Everyone is different, but what helped me is asking my RE and nurses plenty of questions, and of course support from the incomparable 3T ladies. It also calmed me to do affirmations, like "I am doing everything I can to make this cycle a success" and "I trust my body", etc. It sounds cheesy and I felt silling saying them out loud, especially since it's hard for us to trust our bodies when we feel like they fail us, but maybe it will help a little.
You will get through it, honey. Try to take it one day at a time. ((((hugs))))
It took 5 failed IUIs and a failed IVF, but our FET worked!
My pregnancy after Infertility Blog
Our baby girl was born on April 27, 2011!
I understand completely and I think it's totally normal. At this point I am kind of numb, not necessarily scared, but not excited either. It all still seems surreal to me at this point. I would guess once I start my meds, it will seem more real.
I really hope this is it for you!!!
Love & luck to my 3TC girls. Congrats to Omega-The boys are here!
If there's one thing I've learned while waiting my turn,
it's that in each life some rain falls but you also get some sun.
After 2 years & 2 losses, our little man arrived 8-2011.
