Hello

[AmylCollins]

Hi everyone,

I've never done anything like this before, but after 4 years of struggling with infertility and one miscarriage. I am due to start my first cycle of Ivf and thought I would give this ago for support and advice.

Welcome to the group, I am sorry for all you've been through m. I'd never been a 'forum' type person before, but this site has been invaluable to me over the last year or so.

There's tons of support here is you need to ask questions or just want to rant. It's always worth following a few people who have cycles at the same time as you as well.

Wishing you lots of luck xx

Welcome Hun. I'm starting my first cycle very soon too. Are you on long or short protocol? Hope you are feeling ok xxx

I'm not sure I have my medical consultation on Tuesday so hoping to find out then. It's strange as I was so excited at first that it was all finally happening now I'm just worried. Xx

Hey I understand. I'm now on the impatient stage! Just want my period to start!!!

You'll be fine though. Don't panic and ask lots of questions xxx

Hi Amy. Welcome! Everyone is really friendly and helpful here. I'm starting my first cycle in about a month and excited but scared as well. All the best for your treatment.

[AmylCollins in reply to City74]

That's how I feel too, excited and scared at the same time. Good Luck with your treatment too xx

Thanks Amy. I'm doing the short protocol so I am hoping I can start with my next period. Have a nurse appointment next week where we have to sign loads of forms and hopefully find out more. If everything goes to plan I should be starting in 4 weeks and I should know whether it has all worked by Christmas (prob about a week before!). Let us know how you are getting on. x

Hi, hun! I just dropped into to wish you good luck. You've chosen the right place to be in. soon you'll find many lovely ladies here sharing their experience and support.

We passed ivf with donor eggs in Ukrainian clinic (contacted it through eviternity.org). With my luteal phase defect we had to apply for donor eggs as my own eggs were of a very poor quality. And not to waste time for numerous attempts with own eggs (though they gave us less than 10%) we found it better to take this very path.

We all have different stories here. But our aim is the same. Even though our paths differ and our bodies react differently to the meds we do have some common things to share. For me the most draining was 2ww. And this is so great to have someone to share your worries with.

May God help you with the process! Let it be smooth and fast for you. Hugs XX
