I always had the same issue of dryness with birth control pills. I am so sorry about the first round of IVF, friend. But I am excited for your next steps (I remember reading your post called "Charting our Course" and I thought it was so wise and carefully thought out). Hope this new year brings some better luck your way soon.

I really wish I had an answer as to why the drugs didn't work for you. I have come across a few stories (don't remember where from) of low or non-response to IVF drugs that ended happily... I'm sure you can find these on the forums, that is if you have the energy to plough through the posts. But if you eventually decide on Plan B, I'll definitely support you all the way.

Mr. Turtle and I are doing fine so far relationship-wise, but it did bother me when the drugs made my body "off" and I just didn't seem as responsive physically as I usually am. I am hoping that things return quickly to normal, even if my normal is sub-fertile.<br /><br />Thanks for the support. I am alright, I think, it's just a weird space to be in. Well, I guess everyone in this community is in a weird space, but just when I think I've adjusted to one kind of weird, along comes another. But thank you again for your kind words and I wish the same for you, always. xotorthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-48399670611507166162014-01-26T18:03:57.870-08:002014-01-26T18:03:57.870-08:00Everybody's body is so different, and this is ...Everybody's body is so different, and this is the non-lucrative side of fertility medicine, so it would not surprise me if not much is known. I know that mine gets to cd about 28/29 and just lets go, regardless of the amount of progesterone and hormones otherwise in the body.<br />I do know that after the failed ivf cycles and the d & c's I always get the " your next period will be either heavier or lighter than normal, and may be earlier or later than normal. Call us if anything is wrong spiel." which is totally useless.<br /> Hopefully plan b will work.Persnicketyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436903120495453879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-22504726627418035992014-01-26T18:01:49.566-08:002014-01-26T18:01:49.566-08:00For what it's worth, I had a cycle cancelled a...For what it's worth, I had a cycle cancelled around day 7 or 9 of stims...I ended up getting a period pretty soon afterward, if I recall correctly.

So I'm glad you're able to enjoy yourself again. And I'm sure Mr. Turtle is relieved too :) <br /><br />As for plan B, I hope you know I 100% support you and your husband and if you ever need to talk to someone who won't judge you, I'm here for you. <br /><br />For right now, I hope you're doing alright and giving yourself time to grieve and process whatever you need to. This was a lot. Sending love. Adihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489423723982017482noreply@blogger.com
