I guess a positive outlook has more power than I could ever imagine.<BR>Before DD, H and I discussed having another child. We put it off since IVF is the only way to go for us and our little Sunshine was not going for the weaning business.<BR>Anyway, we started talking about it again and started the initial tests for a second IVF cycle. Unfortunately my hormones were not being cooperative and for two months my blood tests were less than optimal, thus canceling the possibility of starting an IVF cycle.. Frustration, depression, etc. seemed to be taking its toll. I couldn't take more disappointment.<BR>After speaking with the doctor who said he wasn't writing me off after two bad blood tests and that it was too early to discuss donor eggs (AGH!)----DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR THAT, I went on my positive thoughts only kick.<BR>I went to the doctor today for my third try and my levels are good and I can finally start my cycle. <BR>Although nothing is guaranteed, at least I get to start.<BR>I tell you, I felt so good. It felt like a HUGE load was taken off of my shoulders. H was so happy. He gave the biggest, lovingest and sincerest hug I have allowed myself to really feel in a long time. <BR>Small positive steps are beginning to work. <BR>Say a prayer for us. <BR>

I just wanted to wish you luck, I hope everything works out for you and H. <P>Unsusre

Dear Healing I hope for the best possible outcome for you and your H!<P>We have a sis-in-law w/problems and she conceived their only c ivf. They plan on trying again this winter.<P>I will pray for you.<P>love<BR>Debi<P>------------------<BR>Imagine....

Healing,<P>Add my prayers to your list! I really hope it works for you. <P>Gem-<P>Is your sister the one with endomitreosis? I was just wondering, becsause my sister has a fairly severe case of it, and as far as I know, she has been trying for quite a while to get pregnant, with no success. She has been through the surgery to burn off the excess tissue, and has been on the meds that put her temporarily into menopause, in hopes of stopping it. So far, none of that has helped. Due to my situation, and her having been through so much, she doesn't really talk to me a lot about her health, but she does talk to my mom. If it worked for your sister, maybe it would work for mine. Let me know.<P>Love,<P>Tigger<p>[This message has been edited by tigger4jdt (edited August 25, 2001).]

Thank you so much for your prayers and well wishes.<P>Tigger, <BR>I too have endometriosis and have had 2 successful surgeries. The scar tissue left behind made conception impossible (invitro is my only option). <BR>I hope that your sister has a good result with the medication. <BR>If you would like more detailed information for yourself or your sister, let me know.<P>Thank you again for all of your support
