Anyone due to start IVF June/July? We can buddy up & support each other x

After another failed IUI we are moving on to IVF. Just wondered if anyone is due to start & we can support each other. I do have some great friends & family that know about the treatment but they don't​ really understand.

I'm waiting for my period then have to start taking norithisterone. Is this your 1st ivf cycle? Wishing you lots of luck. x

in reply to theblondeone

Yes it is my first so excited, nervous, scared and a whole host of other emotions. How about you? X

This is my first IVF. I've had lots of rounds of IUI though so some of the procedure is similar. Not to nervous about that just the outcome as we're only having one round.

in reply to theblondeone

Are you NHS or private? Where are you having yours done. We're NHS but they will only fund us till I'm 40 which is next March so we've been pushing things though as quick as we could and to be fair the hospital have been brilliant and pushed it through quickly. Xx

We're NHS in Bristol​. Get 1 round of IVF. We were supposed to have 3 rounds of IUI but due to cysts, over response & under response we spent over a year doing IUI. Hoping​ our luck will change x

in reply to theblondeone

Well fingers crossed we are both lucky first time! My hospital currently fund three rounds but we'll never fit three in before March and they may be reducing it to two very shortly. Hopefully we both only need one. Xx

I hate this post code lottery. Our area was 2 then reduced to 1. But it is what it is. Miracles do happen so hopefully we'll get ours x

in reply to theblondeone

Yes it's unfair but at least we've both qualified for NHS funding for which I'm grateful. Have you got any rough dates for scans/egg collection etc yet? X

Waiting for my next period then start on tablets, nasal spray etc

theblondeone in reply to lau_har1

I feel a mix of nerves & excitement.

lau_har1 profile image
lau_har1 in reply to theblondeone

I feel exactly the same, I feel slightly sad as well in some ways as I never thought we would have to go down the ivf route x

theblondeone in reply to lau_har1

So much to get your head around. It's good we've all got each other for support though. It's nice to have people that understand x

Sending you lots of luck x

I start down regulation on Friday by mid July all will be done and dusted and I'll know where I am one way or another is the way I see it so it's one round of IVF first time at it one shot - see what happens!

theblondeone profile image
theblondeone in reply to

Lots of luck. I have read about​ a lot of couples that got pregnant 1st round.

in reply to theblondeone

Well on here the success stories seem few and far between but I guess mostly once successful people leave the forums... it only takes one tho hey

theblondeone profile image
theblondeone in reply to

I think some people that have been successful do leave maybe they kinda feel guilty if you know what I mean.

We only get one shot. Just trying to stay positive. Like you said only takes one 😊

Hi! Due to start ivf in July but waiting to recover from surgery. Having laparoscopy in a couple of weeks to unblock/repair/remove tubes first (hydrosalpinx). I am anxious to get my timings right with the doctor referral and first few appointments at the ivf clinic so that the hardest bits of it can happen when I'm off work for the summer and not stressed 😬 But just focusing on one thing at a time right now as that's all you can do. Which clinic are you going to? Good luck x

theblondeone profile image
theblondeone in reply to laura_marie

Hope your surgery goes well. Think that's the best attitude to have just one thing at a time. We're at BCRM in Bristol. What about you? x

laura_marie profile image
laura_marie in reply to theblondeone

We are in Essex and will go to the Bourn Hall clinic near us. We've met with them once already and they're very nice. Wishing you the best of luck with your first cycle x

Sorry to jump in here. I'm starting synarel (nasal spray) on the long day protocol in 3 weeks. It will be my 1st round. Similar to you ladies it's a mix of emotions xx

theblondeone in reply to NMP1026

I can't think of anything in my life that has ever given me this many emotions lol We're all a lot stronger than we thought to do this. Good luck x

After our consultation we had a patient information meeting where everything was explained in great detail. We were told after the meeting just got to wait for next period then can start. We can be buddies if you like 😊

Hi there! Just dropping in to wish you all the best for your IVF. Like you, i started with IUI - had 3 unstimulated and 1 stimulated failed attempts then despite having IUI attempts left, moved onto IVF. First round January 2017 which was successful - currently 22 weeks pregnant. Stay positive and fingers crossed this can happen for you too! Lots of luck! 💖

Hi

I should be seeing my consultant this week and have had all my testing so ivf is apparently my next go to, even thou I wanted clomid.

theblondeone profile image
theblondeone in reply to strong-girl

I hated clomid! Made me so crazy! I was either crying or so angry I wanted to kill someone. I made a cup of tea & tried to put the kettle in the fridge instead of the milk then sat on floor crying. I was supposed to be on it for 6 months only lasted 4 as couldn't handle it.

Good luck with your IVF x
