I see Dr. B tomorrow afternoon after 3 weeks on the pill. Hopefully all will be well and I can start stims. I keep fluctuating between excitement about getting started and pure nerves and tearfulness that it has come to this. I never thought TTC was going to lead to IVF, but after 4 IUIs and 4 m/cs over the last two and a half years, along with a smorgasboard of diagnoses, it's time. I'll keep you posted tomorrow, and might start a journal.
On a side note ladies....September GTG? I'm gonna need one!
Good luck Jackie. The shots are NOT as bad as you are anticipating - you're going to be okay.
I know how you feel though - it is so upsetting thinking about how we got to where we are, injecting ourselves and living appointment to appointment, constantly waiting for results, the fear of disappointment. I just know that we will all get our sticky BFP one day and know that this was all worth it!
good luck!! accepting that i had to do IVF was big for me. acceptance will lead you to emotional peace which IMO is a big part of being able to remain positive during an IVF cycle. IMO it was wayyy harder than sticking myself every night! good luck!!! tons of and for you!! you deserve it!!
I think you'll start to feel more comfortable after your appt tomorrow and you have more information. The stim part goes SO fast!! (the wait for the beta on the other hand... )
The shots are really not bad at all (I thought the anticipation of them was way worse) and the stim part will go by super fast! And before you know it, it will be time for the egg retrieval!!
