IVF journey starting

Just received our first appointment through to discuss our first IVF cycle. I think it's finally starting to hit home that IVF might be our only chance but that it's not guaranteed we will end up with a baby at the end. When we were first told IVF was our best option I just ok that's fine we will do IVF and get our baby. However after joining this the realisation that there are more negative results than positive has made me realise that it's just not that easy but we can only try. Anyway at least we are taking our first steps towards our dream of a family. Good luck to all you ladies out there 😊 x

Hi abbie103. I have PCOS and my husband has low sperm count so we have double problems. Like you I'm worried for worst and we both would like to be parents so much and hard to imagine if we don't have a baby. Fingers crossed for us, hopefully you will hear soon about starting x x

Hi gillybean,

I am at the same stage as you. Was really excited when we got the letter to tell us we were top of the list and then a little sad and worried as it ma not be the outcome you desire. But I often have to give my self a shake and stay positive as I am a big believer in positivity breeds positivity x

Good luck with your journey x

Hi. I'm really close to starting my first cycle too. I know how you feel, I feel the same. Excited to finally get going with ivf, but so nervous it won't work.

I'm trying to stay positive and I hope you do to. Tricky for me cause I'm a bit pessimistic usually lol.

Best of luck, hope it goes well for you xx
