Second round of follistim

we did 4 rounds of clomid and then one round of Follistim injections at 75 units. Ended up with a cyst but levels were good and released two eggs but no pregnancy. We decided to take a three month break over the holidays. I am starting back up this week and feeling really overwhelmed again and my mind is running with worries like my eggs are bad and that's why its not happening or I have endo or i saw this new thing about empty eggs. And thinking about starting acupuncture to help with my stress. Just looking for success stories or just some confidence. I think my diagnosis is hormone imbalance. So just hoping that our new year starts off great.

    Did you do IUI or TI?  There are definitely success stories with these treatments but a better place to look for them would be in the "success after IF" or "pregnant after IF" forums.  I go over there and lurk sometimes when I'm feeling really sad and hopeless!  The majority of the girls here are still trying to get their first BFP!

    I'm in the same boat @Bmusser11. Starting my 3rd round this week, and this will be my 7th IUI (3rd with injectables) I'm trying really hard not to give up hope. It's super overwhelming! But I found a hobby to keep my mind busy, and that really helped. Also, take some time to spend with your significant other. And stay AWAY from the internet...It's the devil! And it puts more worries in your head!
