Ivf

Has anyone had ivf? Did the treatment affect you?

Hi,

I had IUI (the treatment before IVF) but this was before having an children and before PP. nothing was discussed when I developed PP regarding my IUI. Sorry that doesn’t help much if this is for another child

All the best x

I had IVF and developed PP a few days after the birth. I don’t think my PP was due to IVF though because I was fine through the whole Ivf process.

We applied for help after yrs trying with no success. And I did put a huge faith that it will work out. and got so dissupointed when it didn't..Among the things tried is acupuncture along with ivf. I really don't know if it actually helped me to conceive, but it brought me some relaxation and distraction from the everyday worries. You know, ladies, what I'm talking about. Every other day when struggling desparately for a baby you feel trapped with all possible concerns. People call this 'what ifs'. just love this indication. And here the list is endless. What is this is not my path? What if I could wait longer and conceive naturally? What is ivf doesn't work? What if my infertility will effect our relationship? What if my body resists the meds? What if I don't get eggs good enough for ivf? What if dh leaves me? What if I'll need donor egg? What if....??I guess you know all sorts of things I'm talking about. Seems they're just similar for every lady in this terrible infertility boat. We do feel isolated because of infertility. we do feel jealous with youngies getting their babies with a cough. Or with those sweet honeys who get their kids unexpectedly and aren't willing to keep them..
