[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I remember your earlier topics.  Put on your big girl shoes and make decisions. Whether it means to go through with IVF or to walk away from fertility treatments - it's up to you, you're in the driver's seat.

You can talk to a therapist specialized in fertility issues if you feel your partner does not provide enough moral support.[/quote]

You are a grown woman.  You can do it.[/quote]

A grown woman can still be terrified of medical procedures like IVF treatment, especially with no support system.[/quote]

+1. OP also mentioned bad reactions to anesthesia, which is no joke.

OP, there are options out there to get support, but they all require you to be proactive. Therapy, in-person support groups, online groups (not this board, haha), reaching out to friends (their responses might surprise you). During our first IVF, I didn't feel very supported by my husband. I think he was really wrapped up in his own worries. Seeing a therapist helped me in many ways, but one was to help me articulate to him what I needed/wanted from him. We're now doing a much better job communicating and supporting each other.[/quote]
