I don't think I have reached the end of the road yet - well, my doctor tells me so too. I am still youngish.<BR/><BR/>My bottom line is I don't want to undergo anymore surgeries to continually fuck up my innards (it's adhesion city inside), but yeah, IVF is still fine and although I say at times I cannot cope - I know I have it in me to continue on with the process. <BR/><BR/>I really look up to you and admire your courage - you are one brave woman who has a fantastic outlook in life - you and your baby deserve the very best.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233765960065598372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12837672.post-1119420040511542462005-06-22T14:00:00.000+08:002005-06-22T14:00:00.000+08:00I am not going to tell you to keep plodding along ...I am not going to tell you to keep plodding along with IVF as i am hardly a poster child of success. But I do want to say that deciding on when to move on is not a matter of how many failed IVFs, its about how much more you can take before the effort of adopting is less than the effort to battle with cycles.<BR/><BR/>For me, after 10 failed cycles I attended the adoption seminars and felt that I still had it in me to keep going with IVF. I wasnt ready to throw in the towel yet. Sure enough, the next cycle worked, but I can assure you it wasnt because I started the adoption process, and bang, got pregnant. Far from it.<BR/><BR/>I know that it would be a few years before I could move on. But for you will know when it is. It will be like waking up in the morning and knowing the right way.<BR/><BR/>I wish your neighbours lots of luck. They will be a great source of info and support for you if you decide to head down that road.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07699420087600455741noreply@blogger.com
