IFer bees, do any of you have suggestions for how to handle the exhaustion and burnout? Staying positive is only one small aspect of this. It's also just the emotional and physical exhaustion from spending almost every morning at the clinic (and then spending the whole afternoon waiting for the phone call), and not knowing more than 24 hours ahead of time whether I'm going in again. Although monitoring and TI sounds like no big deal, I realized that I'm actually at the clinic more often than in an IVF cycle. The idea of keeping this up for who knows how long is daunting.

To top it off, next month marks a year since we started the process with fertility specialists so it's been intense for a long time now. Normally we'd just go away on a long faraway trip, but there's just no way we can do that now that we've spent so much on treatments...and more importantly, it's hard to predict when I'll have more than a day off.

Taking a break isn't the answer (I've already had a forced break and it did no good) but I'm just so tired.
