Infertility, a mental game

I had a scan today to see how many follicles I have and if I am ready for the next stage. Unfortunately I only had 2 "okay-ish" looking follicles (they want me to have about 8 good looking ones) so now I will continue on the injections for a few days and have another scan on Wednesday to see if things are better.
If things are not better than than they will either up my dose of the injection to encourage a better reaction or cancel the cycle if things are still not looking good and hope next cycle is better on a higher dose.

This is where the mental games really comes into play, I have to really try and not over think or over analyse things. I have to remind myself that it can take some time to work out the right dose but that doesn't mean it won't work, I have to remind myself that what works for one person might not work for me and most importantly I have to remind myself that it's not over yet...it's just a bump in the road.

It's tough to make yourself believe all of those things and to not just want to give up or start to mentally prepare yourself for the cycle to fail
