I'm new here and my mom suggested I speak to someone. I just had egg retrieval done and they pulled 9 eggs from me. Yesterday I got the call that we only have 1 good embryo.
We just started the IVF process and I am scared because I feel like I have one shot at this and I don't want anything to go wrong.
My husband is a great man that stays positive all the time but sometimes I just want to scream.
We started this in November and I have been getting poked and prodded this whole time. We kept getting good news, and then a week later we would get bad news. I just don't think I can take it if something bad happens to this one little embryo.
Everyone is telling me to be strong and stay positive, I know we haven't even done anything yet but how am I supposed to stay strong n be positive when as soon as we get good news a week later we get bad news.
This is the first time we are going through this and it scares me, I feel like I am letting my husband down I feel like I'm broken I feel alone. I know I am not alone but that's how it feels right now.
I know this post is all over the place and im sorry I just feel like I am going to burst!

Try to give yourself a break. Watch your favorite movie or tv show and eat some ice cream (or whatever your guilty pleasure is) and let yourself relax for a couple hours. Easier said than done sometimes, but it will make you feel so much better to just veg out for a little bit.
This whole rollercoaster of IF totally sucks. Best of luck to you and your little embryo! ((HUGS))
