[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry for what you are going for. But I would caution you on some support groups, especially before your first IVF.  I went to a support group at my acupuncturisst about two weeks before starting my first IVF and the stories frm the other women were so devastating and sad that I was in tears on the street afterward.  My acupuncturist even apoligezed to me since she never knows who will show up to any of the monthly meetings.  That was a time when I needed to hear POSITIVE stories of success (after so many personal failures).  The women in the gorup (there were five others) had experienced a still birth at 38 weeks, two women lost twins in the second trimester, multiple miscarriages and multiple failed IVFs and every one cried telling their story but me.    My heart broke for these women and it took me weeks to have a more positive outlook.   It was better for me to just confide in friends and it turns out many of them went through IVF (I am older so this may not be your case). I was fortunate that my first IVF worked. But I wish you the best in finding the support you need, just caution you to find a group or therapist that understands where you are physically and emotionally in your fertility journey.[/quote]
