So I stopped my meds after my BFN on friday. RE said not to be surprised if I get

over the weekend. She hasn't shown yet. Not like I miss her or anything, but I just curious.........I'm feeling awful

and

tonight, not sure if its

or just the disappointment of this failed cycle. Or the fact that I've chosen to start watching what I eat as of yesterday, instead of shoveling in EVERYTHING I SEE!!

I'm SO not looking forward to another fresh cycle!

I havent decided if I'm going to cycle again right away or take some time off. Does anyone have any statistics or stories to share with me as far as cycling back to back or taking time off? I mean, I would assume even if I do cycle right away, by the time she puts me back on BCP, I'm still looking at ER some time in June, maybe July right?

My RE always wanted me to have another AF after the first one that showed after my unsuccessful transfer. Then they were willing to let me do another fresh cycle. I think AF showed up for me on Sat following my 2nd beta on a Wed. Ugh. Hope yours is short and sweet. I'll be lurking at the responses Renee... I'm curious too what other's experience is.

She showed this morning...........see that............if only talking about a BFP would bring one that easily........

Lynn, you're right this AF will just start me on BCP and then Lupron but then another AF will show before I stim. (If I remember correctly)

I'm looking toward going ahead with it, if she gives me the 'go ahead', but still looking forward to everyone's responses........

Well heck! I am glad she showed and I hope you get some relief from those hormones.

I would see what your RE says and go from there. If ER wouldnt be until July, I think that is a good break for your ovaries. Heck, I dont think there is ever a right time to cycle. Your body is going to do what it wants to do anyhow, time frame or not.

Hang in there!!

This is just my opinion,

I would personally take atleast 3 months off TTC Journey, while the ultimate goal is to have a H&H Baby. I feel you have endured alot both emotionally and physically. I think sometimes the body just needs time to heal (physically & emotionally) I would take off 3 months, enjoy this summer. Let you and both dh resume alife of normalcy, skip the hustle and bustle of meds, stress and TTC. In 3 months you can come back clearheaded and fully revived. I did this with my cycle that produced AJ. I had my d&C 11/07/06 and didn't cycle till March(bcp) April 2007 (stimmed). I enjoyed my holidays with my family and time with dh. It was one of the best things I could of possibly done!

Oh Renee I have no idea what's the best course of treatment but I would suggest whatever that causes you the least amount of stress, start your BC and see how you feel, if you feel like it's too much then maybe wait a little bit longer, take some time off, maybe a nice vacation with your DH, but if it's going to make you absolute miserable the wait then by all means jump right on it. I'll be keeping tabs on you girl, all my prayers are with you to have a happy and healthy baby real soon.

Thanks Girls!

I actually have made a concious effort to stop medicating myself with FOOD! I have been shoving my disappointment down with fries and chocolate for MONTHS! I started making better choices about my meals and I've already lost 5 pounds and feel SO MUCH BETTER! My back is STILL killing me and it just hit me, I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and take care of ME! I'm carrying around too much weight which is just making me MORE depressed!

I think I am going to skip atleast this month and I'll take it from there. I dont want to wait too long but I'm think I need to atleast let my bruises heal before I start shooting up again!

Still welcoming suggestions though...........

I'm with ya Renee. I've packed on the pounds since starting this IVF route. Some of it is probably due to the meds but most of it is I haven't been watching what I eat. I started up this week and have been trying to make better food choices... and hoping that the lack of hormones and stress of doing the cycling will help me feel better in a month or so.

for you HB (that's a lot easier to type... my new code for heparin buddy, LOL). Hang in there hon... your BFP is coming, I just know i!
