Hi, we've just completed what will probably be our last IVF cycle as the $$$ has just got too much. I know that I haven't endured anything like some of you have, I've only had 3 transfers this time & burned through 7 embryos but: Today, 3 different people came up to me & said "congratulations" on looking at my swollen belly (11 days post EPU). IVF clinic said probably BFP due to swelling probably due to making my own HCG AF has just arrived in full force. Just too much. Too much ups, too far down to fall. Why do I get thrown a little bit of hope, only to have it completely dashed, crushed & rubbed in my face?

Oh hoping Please dont give up hope. Deal with the negative cycle now, and when you are ready get back onto the horse and get back into it. It will work one day. Do you have frosties? spotty.

I just wanted to say I am sorry and you are not alone. I felt very similar 3 years ago and like you finances were becoming really stretch so we stopped the TTC rollarcoaster. I can honestly say that now I am 100% ok with our decision and situation and am loving feeling like me again but it took a long time to get here. But I still get very sad about it all too. Give yourself time and take care of yourself.

Hoping, I understand how you feel. The physical, emotional and of course financial toll can sometimes just be too much. And sometimes we reach our limit with one or all of those elements, maybe permanently or maybe for a season. Its not fair. It just isnt. There is no easy answer. It just isnt fair.
