AF started - Very stressed

**endlessfaith** · August 12th, 2011, 11:07 AM

AF started late yesterday. Nurse at RE told me to start on 75 mg of DHEA daily and remain on it for at least 4 months.

My dear, sweet Grandmother is now in hospice and is not expected to make it much longer. Very stressed, even my throat feels tight.

DH and I are going to visit my Grandma tomorrow. It's a long drive.

Went to RE this morning for baseline for new IUI cycle…late last night DH and I had a talk about possibly skipping this cycle because of everything with my Grandma…a lot of stress and mostly will be out of town some days…days when I may need to see RE. Don’t know what to do????

Nervous to skip because I feel I am running out of time and my cycles are extremely irregular…it’s a blessing to have AF, so soon after BPN. Nervous to start because I am a mess at the moment which is less than ideal for a successful cycle

…DH said he is in support of whatever I want to do.

I think that it can help emotionally to skip a cycle, it gives you a chance to breathe, regroup, and kind of heal from the stress and heartbreak of a bfn. I wish you the best of luck in what ever you decide to do and I am sending prayers your grandma's way.

I think skipping a cycle might help you to be able to be calmer next time. You need time to allow yourself to feel all your range of emotions without feeling guilty. Of course you should do what you feel is best for your family.
