[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Physically for me it wasn’t that big of a deal. But it’s incredibly time consuming and really all-consuming. You can’t plan anything because you don’t know when retrieval will be, if you’ll have blasts, if you’ll do a fresh transfer, if your FET cycle will get cancelled....

Before I started I though as long as I only have to have one retrieval, I don’t care how many transfers it takes. That was just wrong. IVF took all my mental energy.

I had success with IVF, but not before three egg retrievals, two cancelled transfer cycles, and three transfers.  The cancelled cycles were as emotionally devastating as the failed cycles and the losses.

Success doesn’t instantly cure the pain of infertility. I did not feel joyful during my pregnancy— I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. And even now, with my IVF baby born, I still feel a sting when I see pregnancy announcements. Or the Tongue in cheek Facebook posts about “co-workers” doing funny things. [/quote]
Yep. Pregnancy announcements still sting even though IVF was successful for me. [/quote]
