Group Hug

I've been thinking about going to a group session regarding stress and infertility. Yesterday I decided that I needed to move forward and enroll in the class if only to come to terms with the fact that we may never have children, and that I should probably come up with a better coping strategy than avoidance of "all things child".

It was a tough call and I am still debating whether I made the right choice or if the money would have been better spent somewhere else, but after only one session it's probably a bit too early to tell. It is nice to be around others who are just as frustrated as I am. Hopefully the class will do some good.

Now that I have the class decision taken care of, I need to decide if I want to move to another IVF round or try the lapar0sc0py to check if I have endometriosis first instead. While researching the process, I learned that there's such a thing as a micr0lapar0sc0py. It sounds a LOT less invasive than a lapar0sc0py, and I may see if this is something I would be a good candidate for. This I don't think I can rush into. I may just see about doing one more round of IVF and then looking into the lapar0sc0py.

It's hard to know what the right path is when the numbers are stacked up against you. It's not like most procedures where you know "If I do this, X will happen". Instead infertility is all about "If I do this, X MIGHT happen". Even if you have a 30% chance per embryo, it's not cumulative... you don't really have a 120% chance if you implant four. It's frustrating to say the least.
