I just finished the first cycle of IVF. 2 embryos transferred. Day 14 test was negative. So that was a big failure.
I am wondering if the whole thing was doomed to start with. First I had ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which was not fun!
They collected 23 eggs!!! and only 2 survived.
Embry transfer was terribly painful. They could not do it after three goes, and used a clamp on my cervix which was painful beyond explanation. I had period like pains and discharge for days.
The worst thing about it is that at the beginning they said 70% of IVF fail because of stress! I am refusing to take on any responsibility for the failure of this IVF.
I cannot find the evidence to show that IVF fails because of stress. How do they measure stress?!?! I am working full time and my job is as stressful as the next person. People in war zones are getting pregnant for godsakes!
I am both angry and very sad. Not sure where I am going with my emotions. I wonder if it is because I stopped all the hormones today. I break down in tears for no good reason at all. I am not usually an over emotional tearful person.
They did not even tell me when to expect the next period. grrrrrrr
I am sorry about this post, but I needed to share this somewhere.
