It has been so long though, I am really having a hard time with this.
She validated all of my feelings and I really think this is a step in the right direction. ]]> puffyamiyumifan http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/puffyamiyumifan/67863-went-therapist.html http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/puffyamiyumifan/67894-its-my-subconscious.html Sat, 23 Apr 2005 16:06:46 GMT So here is the current deal...

I go to sleep, exhausted from a day of thinking nonstop about IVF, DE/DS, embryo donation, adoption. if I wake up in the middle of the night I am panic stricken. If i manage to get back to sleep when I wake up its right there first thought in my brain. I can not do anything without it being in the back of my brain. I wish I could somehow go back to the days when I did not want to TTC. I know that will never happen, that I am a different person now than I was then. Even if we live child free this whole experience is central to who I have become. ]]> puffyamiyumifan http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/puffyamiyumifan/67894-its-my-subconscious.html http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/puffyamiyumifan/67898-shortest-version-my-story-till-now.html Fri, 22 Apr 2005 22:50:06 GMT I do not even know where to begin.

I guess back in 97 got married to the most amazing person in the world. we decided yeah we totally want kids, just not now. fast forward to 2000. had been off pill for well over a year, charting to avoid! Decided together- OK lets go for it. tried for a few months, noticed hey I sure do ovulate late and boy I have a short luteal phase. better go check this out soon if not PG in next few mos. so in Oct 2001 se RE, says try clomid, do that 5 times to march 02 no pg. have HSG thats ok- starting to freak. THen we move and take some time going back to the old fashion way till I can get in with a new RE. He wanted to do a lap. Said everything was wonderful. wanted to do IUI's but then we moved again, this was in 2003. finally got new RE and started IUI with extreme optimism. but what happens- I get into a MAJOR car accident the night before my IUI! shattered my ankle! now that is a whole different story but id did make me have to put off IUI's again! so still tried au natural till we could try again, well we did in Sept 04, Nov 04, and Jan 05. all BFN's. by the 3rd I was just crazy...I mean who ever thinks this is going to happen.... Everyone else gets PG! So we move on to IVF March 26th did beta BFN!... WHY!!! somehow DH and I get strength up to go at it again, I have been doing acupuncture, herbs, meditations you name it. So this time things look better, embryo quality better, Reason to be hopeful but go in for beta on April 20th and its a BFN! RE says she is real surprised that it did not work, we are a tough case and we should try again. So her I am waiting for my period so I can start the BCP. ]]> puffyamiyumifan http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/blogs/puffyamiyumifan/67898-shortest-version-my-story-till-now.html
