[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the PPs are talking past each other. I did 6 rounds of IVF. The actual IVF procedure was largely no big deal (although started feeling like a bigger deal towards the end -- but certainly the first cycle was no big deal). All the failures, though, were heartbreaking.

So, yeah, it does kind of irk me when someone who gets a baby from ONE round of IVF says IVF was no big deal. [b]But I can see how that perspective is helpful to people who are new to the process and fearful of an IVF cycle[/b].[/quote]

This was my point.  Besides all women should take it one cycle at a time and one day at a time.  Also it seems like the women who are fearful are fearful of even just one cycle.  They are terrified of the meds or the side effects or who knows what.  My point is that I didn't find one cycle of IVF a big deal at all and I wouldn't let it keep you from possibly having a child.

Yes. We ALL know this is how you feel. You have repeated it ad nauseam on thread after thread. And when other people point out that those women who have reservations about the meds or the process have a right to those legitimate feelings, you shame or bully us and them. [b]Telling people they're just being whiners and to just get over it is pretty crap advice[/b].  [/quote]

What's interesting is that this kind of tough love is what got me to bite the bullet and try a round of IVF, which got me pregnant.  I was a basket case and going back and forth about IVF for months.  It was women on this board telling me to give it a try and that it's not a big deal that pushed me to try it and I'm so glad I did.  Unfortunately "getting over it" can be good advice.  Sitting around worrying and complaining about IVF doesn't get anyone pregnant.  I'm sorry if I offended you, but I do hope I can be of some service to at least one woman who may be in a similar situation and trying to move forward but unsure.  All I can say is that it was just a rough 10 days or so of meds and looking back I barely remember it.  It was so worth it.  I realize not every woman ends up pregnant, but many many do!  [/quote]
