Disappointing News

I guess I will be more active here down the road.  Although we have to wait 9 months after our loss to start infertility treatments again, the MD said today that he strongly recommends single embryo IVF to maximize the chance of getting only one baby.  I was really hoping to avoid going down the IVF path.  I guess I some point I will do a full intro. Only plus is that my lurking has shown me that you ladies are so supportive!

    I was extremely hesitant, but wish we would have done it earlier. Once we got started it wasn't that bad and went SO fast! Trust in your MD and go with your heart, GL to you!

    I'm sorry for your loss. And I'm sorry you have to be on this board, although they are all amazing women. I don't think anybody runs into IVF with open arms, but when its the only option on the table you'll be surprised how strong you are and how comfortable you get with the idea.

    So sorry to hear about your loss - what a heartbreak you have been through. IVF holds so much promise for so many of us - but of course, it's always going to come with nerves and fears as well. Feel free to seek your support here...that's why I'm here - to support others and get support myself when needed. Good luck with your wait...big hug.
