Just Starting

Hi

I've just  found out my fertility is low and  i want to have children but haven't got a partner, I've decided to do it on my own. I'm nervous and unsure if it's the right thing to do. Is there any single mums out there, that have done on their own? x

I am doing it with a partner but you can absolutely do this on your own. Do you have a good friend who can support you through this? This forum is also really good for support and bouncing ideas off each other because IVF is quite a unique experience that people just don't really understand if they haven't been through it. If you want kids and you are able to have the treatment, absolutely go ahead with it. 

Good luck! Xx

I'm doing it on my own!!  I've had a past of unfortunate relationships and when I reached a certain age I thought, if I don't do this now it will be too late.  I do want to have a partner (but the right one) and if I can have a child first then there isn't the pressure to have a child with a potentially new partner (that could happen though).

If you want any support from me by all means PM me.

Hi Amand0304.  I'm with "Button-123" on this.  I have had many ladies have had successful families on their own.  Might be an idea to have a chat with an implications counsellor beforehand, so that you can talk over any worries you might have. I really wish you HUGE luck with it all and of course for success.  Diane
