[quote=Anonymous]So here's my vent:  I am frustrated and sad about my second, and probably last, IVF cycle.  My first cycle was in August and was pretty textbook for my age (39 about to turn 40).  I responded to the meds and ended up with two grade A embryos, a pregnancy and a miscarriage in early September.  Now I'm cycling again using the same protocol (antagonist, Gonal F plus menopur) but it's not going well.  My starting estrogen level was much lower compared to last cycle (I got poor communication about this fact from my RE) and it's barely going up.  My RE has not increased my dose, but my nurse tells me I am already on a high dose and for reasons she can't explain, they won't go higher.  I have my third monitoring appointment tomorrow, and I'm mentally preparing myself for cancellation.

I'm sick of this process, sick of paying so much money in exchange for so little individual attention, communication and empathy.  I'm pissed at my RE for not telling me that my estrogen levels were so much lower at the beginning of this cycle compared to the last cycle; we might not have proceeded if there was a hint that I would not respond to the meds as well this cycle.  In addition to wanting a pregnancy, I just yearn for the days of being a "normal" person who didn't constantly think about infertility.  My heart goes out to all of us who are on this unpleasant journey.  It's no fun.[/quote]
