I think I asked/told A. (and myself) this a thousand times today. I need reassurance. I need to feel optimistic. I need to feel like I have a fighting chance.
So many people use donor eggs and have success. The odds are in our favour for once. Why can't I just relax and believe?
It all goes back to the last three years. We were told by many drs that IF treatments would work for us. We were told, that I would take Clomid and get pregnant. No one expected me (at 28) to need injectables or IUI or IVF and at 30 no one thought I would need donor eggs, but still...here I am. So yeah, it is hard for me to believe that this time, I have a fighting chance, when on paper the other times should have worked.
This cycle has to work. If it doesn't I am not sure that I will be able to recover.

The odds are awesome with this. I know it's hard...but just believe! I will be praying for you:) ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I admire your strength. I understand how it can feel difficult to feel hopeful after such a long and difficult journey as yours. But, the odds are better and I really really hope this one works out for the good.

I know just how you feel, though I haven't quite gotten to the donor eggs (yet). Every step we take further down that ART road, the higher the stakes. And every time I have failed, I didn't know how I would recover, and yet I have. Well, I'm still in the process of recovering from the latest disappointment, but I'll get there. I do know that if I were to fail at donor eggs, that would be truly devastating. However, as you point out, your chances are really, really great. And you do have a lovely number of blasts on ice as I recall. So hang in there!
ReplyDeleteLove the new look of the blog! :)
ReplyDeleteI understand where you are coming from. Sending positive thoughts your way. This WILL work! :)
