[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp your childbirth was that bad you don't want any more children?  Why can't you schedule a c section next time?  This is OP.  PTSD is a colloquial term here- I just mean that it was awful the first time around- anxiety, depressed, loss of control, takes over your life with all the appts and monitoring, hormones shots etc.  so it's just really hard to be back there again and doubly exhausting to do it while also taking care of a toddler bc I have so little time to take care of myself the way I did last time... [b]Just wondering if anyone else did multiple rounds of ivf for both kids and has any perspective/wisdom from the other side?  How to emotionally get through it...[/b][/quote]

Been there, done that.  Didn't get a t-shirt.

Went through several rounds of IVF for DC #1 and three cycles of IVF (one cancelled cycle) for DC #2 (started when DC #1 was 18 months).  You'll hear the "yes, it's all worth it" comments -- but when you are in the thick of it, it's hard to get a bigger perspective.

My advice is to set a limit to how far you will go. When you get hormone crazy, try to keep focused on the short-term goals vs. thinking big picture.

Hang in there, OP, and best of luck to you![/quote]
