I agree with 6:33--roller coaster, but worth it. And I'm someone who 2 IVF wasn't successful. But I had to go through it to move forward to DE. It was a very slim shot with my age and numbers and it sucked that we spent LOTS AND LOTS of money. But I don't think I would be at peace about my DE decision without going through it.

17:57-- the key to getting through it is having a support system and being prepared that it's going to take a toll on you emotionally and physically and plan accordingly.

Going through this is not like a typical medical procedure. With even a major surgery, you  go in one day and come out in pain but recovering. An IVF cycle is long and drawn out.

So don't think you can do life like normal--cut back on responsibilities, outsource what you can, lean on people (don't try to do it alone or only with DH), cut out social media and googling others stories if it is stressing you out.

Your job for the month is to take care of your future child's mother. That means be selfish and focus on yourself. Also, advocate for yourself. If it seems like the RE isn't tailoring your protocol or you seem to be on the road to OHSS, speak up and often. Don't worry about hurting your nurses feelings.

Good luck!
