Hi Guys

Have got to know quite a few of you over the last few months and I thought I would update you all with what is happening in my life at the moment!

Well - I have known for a while that I would not be able to have children naturally so we have finally decided to take the plunge and to try IVF and it all starts tomorrow!

I cant even try to explain how I feel at the moment - scared, exited, what am I doing!, emotional, tearfull - and these are just a few.

I know that the next few weeks are going to be increadibly tough and I am sure I am going to need the support of you guys to get through it all. What I do know is that my life is going to totally change after this - one way or the other. I feel at the minute that our life is on hold until we have been through this, but I know that we will regret not doing this other wise. The strange thing is that I have had to have a plan B if case this doesnt go to plan A - at this point in time I seem to be focusing more on plan B as this is something I can control!

Will keep you all posted on how things go - I am sure there will be many late sleepless nights spent geeking the hours away!

hey hun i wish you all the luck in the world, me and my partner have just found out we cant have any children at all togeather. i have a little girl to a previous boyfriend but i consider umerrah to be seans anyway as she was so young when we met. being told you cant have children is the most heartbreaking thing. we cant have ivf, or anything as he has no sperm at all due to the chemo. there was meant to be some saved but they have lost it and we are currently going through a legal battle but what ever the compensation is it wont let me have kids to the man i love. i have friends who are having babies, at first i used to cry everytime i saw them but im ok now. they just dont seem to understand what it feels like.

anyway i hope you everything goes ok, and i wish you all the luck in the world.

Hi Theresa,
I wish you lots and lots of luck and a successful outcome. I like you had to do IVF as we were told it would be a miracle if we ever conceived naturally and we had to do the ICSI ( i think it was called) program. Its was very hard and an emotional rollercoaster but in the end it was worth it for us. I was lucky and our first try we conceived my beautiful daughter Tavia Mia-Ley who will be six this Friday. After that I conceived my two sons naturally (could have struck me down with a feather).
I can relate to the nervousness you must be feeling and dont be shy to PM me to ask questions or just to have a chat.
I wish you well

Hi,i hope all goes well for you as it did'nt for me.I had 4 attempts at iui and one of ivf it took 3yrs altogether .I found the treatment ok and did'nt mind the injections the worst thing is the waiting and getting a carparking space at the hospital.I like you called ivf plan A and i had a plan B to fall back on which was adoption,i need an end to this long journey and that is with children,so at the moment i'm still on that journey and have got two social worker visiting tomorrow about adopting two sisters(this is a long process 2yrs we've been waiting).
So good luck and keep a plan B to keep you positively focused because there is light at the end of the tunnel.
All the best
Rachel x

Well

So far so good.

Had 5 injections of hormones so far - just a few bruises in my thighs from the needles and an odd hot sweat, but nothing else apart from that. Dont think the mood swings have kicked in yet but Steve (my husband) may tell you different.

Will do another update soon.

hi everyone.


theresa,


very best of luck with the IVF, i like many of the lovely ladies on here have been through it with 2 ICSI's and 3 DIUI's so know what you are going through, i cant reccomend the site fertilityfriends high enough, i dont know how i would have got through this last year without the help and support of everyone there.

do you know when the E/C and E/T will be yet?

are you planning to work through the 2ww or take it off?

do you know about the pineapple juice and brazil nuts?

we had our last DIUI in march/april and it was another BFN for us but after going through the 5 cycles we had a natural BFP 1 month afte our last BFN, it took us a while to beleive after going through everything we had.

what meds are you on?, ive only every had menogon


very best of luck

feel free to pm me anytime.

Hi
I know what its like to have the need for children and not naturally be able to concieve them.
When it seems everybody around you is as fertile as hell (Especially in my family)
I do hope with all my might IVF works for you.
Im thinking of doing it myself not just yet though.
Maybe you could keep me up to date with your progress & let me know the process.
Im behind you all the way.
Take Care
Anna aka Tiakayla:hug:
