Hey!

Try not to get urself worked up! There's plenty of time for that later on πŸ™‚

Is the appointment at a hospital or a fertility unit just trying to gather what stage ur at to help u 😊 Xxx

Hi

We had our first appointment on Tuesday. We met with our fertility nurse talked through the whole process of ivf what ivf is consent forms welfare of child forms!!! Explained everything asked if we had any questions what will happen next!!! Don't be anxious it's really informative you get to ask questions your partner will need to go to first appointment. They've said when I go for my scans I can go alone unless partner wants to attend those aswell we've decided well go through the whole process of appointments together. Try not to worry xx

Thank you,I've told him to make sure he's at everything in it together,it's just he's a lot calmer than me,am constantly stressed and nervous and scared,and didn't know what to expect,are any tests done on that first appointment?xx

Didn't have any tests done at appointment !! I'm just now waiting for my period due in 2 weeks time then I need to ring my nurse first day of period so can arrange my scan for the week after then start injections. I suppose everyone's first appointment is different. I started fertility tests last June and had a lap and dye in Nov 2015 told 22nd December ivf was our option already had first appointment xx

We have our first appointment in March and I try and not stress about it but pretty much the only thing on my mind! I think a nurse will go through our forms with us and answer questions and talk us through the process. not sure what the time line is but can't wait to get started. It's been so long! Good luck to u with ur appointment x
