Can't sleep from thinking !
HI I feel for you, everyone says relax don't you but then its very hard.I am starting the menopur injections tonight, I am very nervous and I also have a low AMH so I have been told that I may not respond. They are many hurdles to cross in this next few weeks. Wishing you all the luck and also some peace before you start..
Hi there try and focus on the positives and not the negatives at this stage you need to be calm , don't think about the worst think about the success it will work it will work keep telling yourself that!!! Do you have a good network if friends and family around you ?
Aww thanks a lot I have my partner and my best friend them are the only two people that know about this I really feel I can't tell anybody this is why I'm on this forum as it's fantastic to get out how you feel people you don't know and they don't know you. I will try to change my thinking. It's not gone g to be easy. X
Hi belle it's me again, it doesn't seem 5 minutes ago since we spoke about your first consultation and look where we are both up to now! I'm due to have a frozen embryo transfer the natural way on about the 18th of this month and it's my last embryo! Scary or what! Its a weird thing to go through ivf you end up going through so many emotional experience's you didn't know existed! Try to be positive and keep yourself occupied with nice things! Take care xx
Take things one step at a time. There are so many stages to your treatment, try not to think beyond each scan etc. Hope for the best. Every blessing. Whether you are successful or not you will get through it all & come out the other side.

Thanks for your reply I am trying so hard as I know it my one chance on nhs. What ever happens happens for a reason
Hi Belle i know the feeling im on long protocol and start my tablets on thursday! I have been unable to sleep and constantly worrying too its so nerve wracking!
Have you had ivf before? And what age are you if you dont mind me asking? X
Hi Belle , yes this is my first time for ivf i pick up my tablets tomorrow and start them thursday its going to be a long time i just hope i get a good result at the end of it .my amh was 26.4 which is quite good so im happy about that the scary thing is its like the lottery its just your luck! Its only myfiance that knows too which i think makes it more stressful.im 29 in a few weeks.
I hope we get what we want , lots of luck your way too xx
Hi weemex how do I find out my amh? I'm not taking tablets I'll be doing injections . Were with Coventry who are you with? I think it does make it more stressful but in a way it's kind of confidential and I really don't want anyone else to know, don't have a big family but the family I have I would rather them not know, too many questions I really can't deal with it right now I'm just about managing and I don't know how. Blessings for us both. Xxxxx
Hi belle you amh is done through a blood test i think the other name for it is basically your egg count.i am not tablets for a week then go on to two injections a day.you are right im exactly the same i dont want to tell family encase it doesnt work but hopefully some good news for us both and we can try and stop worrying.we are in Glasgow x
Hi Belle... You should be tested to find out your AMH level, this is usually a blood test I think... can't remember I was prodded and poked lots lol. Hope it works for you... the injections aren't as bad as you think they'll be.... good luck x x x
Unfortunately my first ICSI didn't work but I am back in september for my second go! I keep thinking to myself that the first go for me was a practice run, trial and error... me and my OH both had slight issues so with me having low AMH they only managed to retrieve 4 eggs and one survived. I had a transfer on day 2 with a grade 3 embryo (4 being the best) I tried to rest as much as I could but was hard to think positive as I was just so worried about cramps, twinges etc... At least next time I know what to expect (pain wise) and with the injections, I was terrified of those but managed with the help of my fella. I just can't wait to start again!! I am back for a follow up app on 21st august where they will discuss my audit meeting and tell me what will happen! What clinic are you with? If you ever need a chat you can private message me hun good luck xxxxxxxx
Oh dear I'm sad to hear this! But I'm glad it's not got you to low. hopefully you will have all the luck in the world on your second chance. We are with Coventry. What about yourself? At least you know exactly what to expect at what stage this is brilliant. But then again it can be quite daunting I do understand. The not knowing for me is the hardest regarding the outcome I mean, thanks for the chat it's been great so far we'll keep in touch. Xxxx
You've just got to keep thinking positive hun. No point getting down and upset all the time as it wont help your body.. hormones etc!! We're with Hull IVF Clinic, they have been amazing!! Couldn't have asked for a better place to be having our treatment!! Fingers crossed for you hun Defo keep in touch xxxxx
I feel your pain!! I have my hospital appointment in October and then will starting the process, this is exactly my fear!!! I have been looking into surrogacy or adoption xxx
Good luck by the way!!! xxx
Hi, I am thinking about if it doesnt work too, how i will cope and move on if this does not work. My only advice is keep busy during the day and try and chill out, pamper yourself on a night. I honestly know it is hard but you do have to try and see the positives, at least we have a chance at having a family, some people will never even get that chance. Wish you all the luck in the world xxxx
I will certainly pamper myself. Thanks and you are so right some don't even get this far or a chance like us. Love your thinking. Good luck xxxxxx
