[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey there OP-

I'm very sorry for your losses and that you are feeling this way.  I understand the apprehension to dive in with the RE and perhaps move forward with IVF.  But I can also tell you, having been there, that your only regret will be not springing forward with treatment sooner!  Yes, losses can be devastating but so can regret from waiting.  IVF is actually kind of odd because while, yes, you're super invested in the process, it's also very scientific and you're learning more about your body as you go, so it does feel like progress.  Others told me that IVF really is a diagnostic process - there is only so much that pre-testing can tell you, but you really won't know how it will go until you dive in.

Best of luck to you.[/quote]

+1.

Also, this period sucks, but welcome to the best sorority no one ever wanted to belong to.  I found great support and info on this board and also Fertility Friend.  You aren't alone in any of this and we all have felt the grief of IF---although it manifests itself differently for each of us.  I also recommend acupuncture and therapy!  And, when you do get to the needle point, if you are spiritual or religious, it helped me to think of every injection as a prayer.  Even my agnostic DH got into that one.  Take care of yourself during this time and don't be afraid.  The bad things have already happened in some sense--the losses and the loss of a tube--so for treatments, don't think too much about it all and just do it.
