Infertility

Feeling a little blue today

I just feel like I'm in the dumps of this adenomyosis diagnosis and I'm not feeling particularly positive about the lupron treatment.... Which leads me to feeling like my next FET will also likely fail :(
I keep reading things on the Internet about how lupron doesn't increase the chances for success and that adenomyosis doesn't have an effect on fertility. It just sucks because I'm left feeling very confused and scared that this won't work for me :(

Sorry just had to share my bummer day

Re: Feeling a little blue today

  • I'm sorry you're feeling down! I wish I could help you. Maybe try to stay off the internet and trust in your RE. I find I make myself crazy when I start doing too much research. I'm very guilty of this too but end up all sorts of confused, down and self diagnosing everything. :P I hope your day gets better!!
    2013- 2 IVF cycles with PGD to prevent genetic disorder from being passed on. Both BFFN :(
    2/2014 pregnant!  EDD 10/17/2014

    All always welcome! :)

  • I am really sorry sweetie! I really think that what @ifintn said is dead on. I personally have to be careful with googling, because it can consume me. Know that you are doing all you can to improve your chances. I know you have had your ups and downs with your RE, but I would try to trust them, but if it would make you feel better get a second opinion. You have the disc right? If you think it will make you feel better, I say go for it. ((Hugs)) I hope it gets better!

  • Thanks ladies. I hear all your points and really appreciate your thoughtful input. I'm trying to trust in my RE and I'm also slowly learning to let go of control considering I don't have any in this situation. Some days are easier than others. Today I just need to stop thinking about this and for certain I need to stop playing doctor google.

  • I'm So sorry :( letting go is not easy at all. I have spent more than my share online searching anything I can. Sticking to medical journals helps- because we all know how much random stuff is out there!

    I hope you are feeling a little brighter soon <3

Had ET on 11/17. Beta #1 (8dp6dt): 203. Beta #2 (10dp6dt): 618. We since had two ultrasounds & on 12/19, our RE released us to the OB.  On 1/02/14, we had our first ultrasound with the OB where we heard the heartbeat.  We are so thankful for the blessing & crossing every finger & toe for a healthy & successful pregnancy.
