Hi everyone,
This is my first post. After 3 years we have finally been given a start date for our IVF to start- Mid May if all goes to plan.
After such a long process with the NHS it all seems surreal, I feel nervous, scared and excited!!! Is this normal?

Hi Lily-white. Well, that’s good news to hear that after waiting – and I assume trying for so long, you finally have a start date. Of course it’s all very daunting, but this is your real chance of having the family you want. I’m sure all the girls on here will support you all the way through, so no worries there. All I can do is to wish you both well for a straight forward treatment cycle and a positive outcome. Diane
Thank you!! We don't know anyone else in our situation and the people we have spoken to about it haven't been very supportive. One of the nurses suggested this site, I'm really glad to have found it. Thanks again 😊
Hello Lily-White, I'm in the same boat. We've been ttc for 2 years and, all being well, should also start our NHS treatment in mid-may. I am excited, i think it's a bit of relief that we're getting a break from the monthly ttc routine! But, I'm also pretty nervous and have been pretty teary at times too! It also feels like after all the waiting it happening super fast but again I reckon that's all normal!
You'll find lots of support on here. Take care and good luck x x x
Hopeful 1982. Thank you!! Its nice to know that there are others out there that feel the same- although I obviously wish that nobody had to go through all this. I'm glad you guys have a start date too, I wish you all the luck in the world. Xxx
Same here- starting first round of ICSI mid May, been trying for 18 months and having treatment privately as we don't currently live in the UK. Good luck- I hope it goes smoothly and you have a BFP at the end! Xx
Welcome. I've only been using the site for a few weeks. About to start our first cycle of IVF nxt week. So I know how u feel. The sites great and the people are lovely. just what you need when your feeling like the only women in the world who's going through IVF
Hiya
Very bery normal..... It's going to be a rollacoaster of emotions, be open with hubby and try to own every moment. It's hard work but stay positive.
Good luck
Hi! I'm on my first cycle of private ivf after 8 years of TTC! I felt really teary when I knew we could finally do it, and now I feel scared, nervous, and excited! Our chances are low so DH and my mantra is "hoping for success, expecting failure". We're trying to keep very rational about it all but it's hard not to feel emotional at each stage. I'm on day 3 of stims so next Tuesday is important for me to see if there are any follicles at all. It's nice to be in the process but it's bloody terrifying!! Good luck to you - I hope it's a success for you

I'm just starting first round of ivf to and I felt exactly the same xx
Thank you so much to all of you. It's very comforting knowing that there are others in the same situation out there. Also to have genuine support.
I wish you all all the luck in the world Xx
Hi Lily white, I'm going through the same after 3 years of trying .Had to give up with NHS and now paying privately. Had my first consultation yesterday, it was too much to take in. Will be starting in May and feel nervous, worried about balancing work and appointments..but I keep reminding myself that this is what I want and I need to stay strong, calm and stress free for best outcomes!
Wish you all the good luck , tc.
Almost end of 2WW...
End of the lineðŸ˜
End of our journey ...
Wondering if it’s the end of the line already
It’s the end of the road
