Dear all,
I wanted to briefly give a HUGE THANK YOU to all supportive posts I have received in the past years... I had my third and last FET a couple of weeks ago, but it ended in a BFN. I did not have high expectations anyway. I am happy the process has ended, though, as it's been too difficult for me with my non-responsive always-never-thick-enough endometrium, and I did not like at all taking hormones (I am still bloated and in pain), which I also think have led me straight into menopause from having a regular cycle when I started taking them.
I know IVF can work for some/many, and so it is great that it exists. But it can also be a source of great distress and failure for others (still the majority), and my personal advice is to take care of yourself before everything else, and accept that this is is a gamble... it's good to have hope but also to be realistic. It's a really fine balance to strike, and only who is on this journey can understand how difficult, if not impossible, it is.
My best best wishes to all the lovely ladies out there!! Lots of love and hugs and best wishes xxx... and good bye... I take back my pre-IVF life (to the extent that it is possible), I look forward to it.
