Rebound cycling [v. ree-bound sahy-kling]
A rebound is an undefined period following the failure of an IVF cycle. The term's use dates to at least the 2011s, when Bernadette and Duane wrote of "nothing so easy as catching Intended Parents on the rebound". The term may also refer to a subsequent cycle that a person has during the rebound period, or to the Intended Parents in such a cycle.
Intended parents who are "on the rebound," or have recently completed an unsuccessful IVF cycle, are popularly believed to be psychologically incapable of making reasonable decisions regarding subsequent cycles due to emotional neediness, lingering feelings towards the old embryos, or unresolved problems from the previous cycle. Rebound cycles are believed to be unpredictable due to Intended Parents' emotional instability and desire to distract themselves from a painful prior cycle, and those emerging from expensive third party reproduction cycles are often advised to avoid subsequent cycles until their depleted bank accounts have been replenished.

Hi all! Guess who's found a new love? That's right--
Though our hearts are mid-mend and our tears still mid-dry, we've decided to "take a chance" on our frozen embryos. We are already convinced that they are "the one(s)," and hopefully, not foolishly, falling in love. We have quickly dismissed the "what could have beens," as we revel in new thoughts of the "what will hopefully bes." And we pray that our dreams of our new long term love, are not those of distractions cloaked in disguise.
As a couple on the rebound we are gambling with our hearts and clinging to the hope that this time we will win...

All the best it just HAS to work this time!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIVF and surrogacy (especially in a foreign country) present so many different scenarios that it's tough to know that the one we eventually choose is the one that will allow us to become parents. In the end, you have to go with your gut, which from this post it sounds like you're doing. This will happen for you guys, just stick with it...and as a close friend once told me, "believe that baby"...DON'T GIVE UP.
ReplyDeleteBeing on the rebound was all that kept us going. Hope second time is a charm for you!
ReplyDeleteGo for it! Having bounced from cycle to cycle recklessly and with total abandon I definitely recommend this for couples who want to survive and stay sane. Continue to place your bets, double or nothing and surely the payoff will be more than you can ever imagine!
ReplyDeleteYou WILL win. Never give up. In 2012 we will all rejoice with you on the birth of your babies!amen
ReplyDeleteI think you've made a great decision to try again! As always, you're in my thoughts and prayers with this cycle.

Got to love the re-bound!. What other chance do we have?. We've got the continually re-bound and bounce right back to the place where we know and should be. Brave choice for you, but I'm sure you know it's the right one.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you! x
