I have a close friend who I'll be passing your blog address along to, as she and her husband are finding they have fewer options in regards to their infertility.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811996974976569965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965616509187395182.post-45303590717759257672010-07-16T10:48:25.430-05:002010-07-16T10:48:25.430-05:00Here's one that people (especially my nurses a...Here's one that people (especially my nurses and RE) continually told me and I hated, hated, hated hearing: "Every cycle is different, every person is different and it ONLY takes ONE!" <br /><br />I hated that because I was constantly, constantly comparing my cycle to everyone else's--on boards and blogs and in real life. And I got frustrated and aggravated (because neither fresh cycle was very fabulous)...<br /><br />But both were successful. Even when they really 'shouldn't' have been. And it DID only take one.<br /><br />So my best advice would be to try as hard as one could to NOT compare cycles--there really is a science that goes into it all and it just depends truly on each individual. On a lot of the boards, there were women who had WAY better cycles than I did (and yes, I was jealous!) and yet...they didn't get pregnant and I did. I was shocked and saddened for them, truthfully, but it really drilled home--your cycle is YOUR cycle and can't be compared, so don't let it get you down if it doesn't seem to be going by the book. Mine certainly didn't and I've been proven that they don't have to in order to be successful! <br /><br />Hooray for starting meds soon!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828552745708177768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965616509187395182.post-32734948907075627242010-07-15T17:07:05.885-05:002010-07-15T17:07:05.885-05:00Thanks for the info!
