Hi Ange,
My heart goes out to you. Ive just started IVF 3 days ago in between mastectomy and chemo. I tried to see the IVF option as a blessing to give me a chance, but i had very little knowledge and still do about everything that is happening in my body. I wonder do you have a hormone positive cancer? mine is high at 90% so it feeds on hormones. I am day 3 into injections and still don't know if its the right thing to do. My mind set is to simply focus on living and surviving first. so the baby is really just an after thought. I am lucky as i have a 10 month old to get me through and she is my world. I was pregnant with baby 2 during the results period and had to abort as it was too much of a gap between this and chemo. the focus on having babies has become a second thing and i am doing it as a precaution. if it doesn't work it doesn't work. i don't have the energy to focus on getting too upset at the results. but i understand that driving force behind wanting children. I have a wonderful friend in the uk who adopted a baby from america (her native land) her real mother was a drug addict nice huh. the childs life has been transformed by my friend and she is able to provide a better life. its a beautiful story. Life is so complicated. i do understand your pain and heartache and i want to send you some virtual love.
