Not doing well got a negative pregnancy test after an IVF cycle

Well, here I am, back in the saddle after a very long break. My job was taking over my life and truth be told, I wasn't ready to face anything after my failed IVF cycle. I'm feeling a bit stronger and my husband and I are contemplating another cycle in July. I have a lot of concerns, and don't know if I can go through it again, but it almost seems crazy to stop after only one cycle. It's expensive, but in the relative scheme of things, I can't let that make my decision for me since we could pull the funds together.
I'm nervous about doing this thing all over again, the meds, the fatigue, the pain of ER, the waiting, but most of all the bone crushing fear and doubt that it will work, and the constant worrying about what I'm doing to my body.

I understand your feelings as I have them too. I think the one thing that keeps me going (other then really wanting a baby) is knowing if I don't do all we can now, then 20 years from now I will be full of regret for not trying and by then it will be way too late.
It is hard and the pain of failure is heart breaking. But if we do not try and risk the failure, we will never have success.
We are all here for you what ever you decide and I am really glad you are back! :-)

Good luck with everything, and with making your decisions. Hopefully if you do decide to move forward, everything will work out this time...

I am glad you are feeling a bit stronger again. I know how you feel, we are kind of in the same place as you right now with one failed IVF. We have 2 frozen embryos to use and then I don't know after that. I actually can't see us doing it again. I think the next step for us will be looking into donors. I would do it one more time but Michael doesn't want to, and I guess, seeing it is him with the infertility, he shouild make the decision. But then when it comes time, he also has to realise that he can't deprive me of a baby, so if he doesn't want to do IVF then he will have to accept the fact that we will need a donor. I don't know, that's where I am with my thinking right now. I hope you can keep up your strength for the next cycle and whatever you decide, I am sure it will be what's right for you. Take care xxx

P.S. all you can really do is go with your gut feeling at the time, you have no idea how you will feel in the future, so just trust that whatever you feel is the right way to go. Live for now and don't look too far into the future.
