Jumping right into IVF #2

I had a phone consultation with my RE today to discuss next steps after my failed IVF (c/p) and she sees no reason to wait to start IVF#2. 

So I am starting BCP on Sunday and should hopefully be ready for ER and ET at the end of April.

I'm so down in the dumps about IF and feeling seriously depressed.  I am hoping I can bounce out of this depression soon and try to be more positive, putting IVF#1 behind me.

It just sucks when you have such hope only to be disappointed in the end results.

-------------------------
TTC Since 10/2007 with no luck and a 'go with the flow' attitude
1/1010 FINALLY decided to have testing done, dx MFI
7/2010 - DH starts Clomid to increase testosterone and hopefully sperm count
10/2010 - Still low (but improved) sperm count.
11/30/10 - IUI #1 and only = BFN
February 2011 - IVF #1 w/ ICSI =
Chemical PG (Beta 1: 10, Beta 2: 19, Beta 3: 17) :-(
April 2011 - IVF #2 w/ ICSI = BFN :-(
September 2011 - IVF #3 w/ ICSI = BFFN
November 2011 - AMH level tested - .83 (normal for age range)
February 2012 - IVF #4 w/ ICSI = (best response ever yet still) BFFN
April 2012 - DNA testing - NORMAL, RE suggests cycling again with own eggs or using DE
On Break indefinitely...not sure we can afford the emotional and financial roller coaster anymore.

    Yay Ellen! I think it's great to get right back into it. Maybe it'll be good so you don't have time to think so much about the outcome of the first one. ((hug)) 

    I'm pulling for you SOOOOO much.

    I'm sorry it didn't work and I'm sorry you are feeling down.  Honestly, some of it is the meds. You have no chance in heck of feeling normal with all of the hormones going all over the place.  That little piece of hope will come back once you start the process don't worry. You don't have to be susie sunshine...just open the door for good news again (sometimes that is the scariest part!) Good luck!
