Meds have arrived.....

I remember months ago being in a very dark place.... looking at this site being so envious of ladies posting their meds pictures and it felt like it would be months till our appointments came through... I never thought my turn would come after our first GO appointment and tests a year ago. Now I can't believe it has and it's my turn!...

While I was at work today my meds arrived with hubby... feeling a little overwhelmed. But excited. For the first time in a while I have had hope.. although I know the worst and highs and lows are yet to come... I am just clinging on to my hope xx

I'm praying this is the start of a good journey... but trying to be realistic. It's our first cycle so I'm trying to just enjoy the moment... as I know if this doesn't work I will have some harder cycles ahead where the excitement may be over ruled by fear....

I've learnt so much from you all....

Here we go.... just need AF to arrive xxx

Aww thanks so much :) it drags so much at the start. But then we had our 2nd appointment with fertility consultant and it all went really quickly from there, and can't believe we are finally at this point! I am terrified but excited to finally be doing something about it.

I wish you all the very best and thanks so much for your well wishes they are much appreciated xxxx

Thank you so much! It's funny I have read a lot on here of people finally wanting AF to show for the first time in years, then just before IVF, it takes its time to come! If mine is late I have been told I have to take the pill... so im hoping it doesn't take long! But even if it does.... Its so close and after over 2 years TTC I can handle a few more days.. (that's what I'm trying to tell myself!). Thank you :) xxx

I know it's always the way! Least you've got something in place, is she normally on time?

You definitely can! it's a long journey but enjoy the 'good bits' if you know what I mean I think somehow it makes the bad bits bearable xx

Thank you! Definitely be excited, if I've learnt anything on this ridiculous journey is to let yourself "enjoy" the highs as it were, because this journey is mental!! Have you got a good support network? Xxx

Thank you! I think after feeling so down... I just want to enjoy this feeling of hope and spirits being lifted! Has been a while since I feel we've had any progress.... so I feel happy to have some! We haven't told that many people... but my hubby my rock and a very supportive family. Thanks for your support Xxx

Good luck lovely, you're ready for this! No matter what happens, keep your hope, faith & belief in yourselves xxxxx

Oh my got.

Are you trying to born a battalion of babies? :)

P.S.: yup, i know, even this bunch of med may not be enough.

Anyway, good luck.

Hope that everything would be fine.

P.S.: try some kind of fertile massage.

P.P.S.: involve your hubbie in it, so the process become even more exiting and addictive :)

OMG, great!

Was it for free? Cause my package included the medication for free as well as other services provided by clinic.

I remember my stimulation, I was so scared and excited as well, It was the first time in my life, thanks this meds I was able to produce a good number of eggs. 17 have been collected, 8 lived up to 5th day, 3 were transferred at first time, the rest have been frozen for the second round.

Wish you to have a great number of eggs, keep us updated

Aww just seen your post about BFP!!!!! Huge congratulations in order :)

Thank you in scared.... but excited. My main fear is that I won't have enough, they won't fertilise etc... but I know if I worry about all the possibilities I will drive myself insane!!!

No we had to pay for our medication as a privately funded cycle... thanks so much for your well wishes. I will definately post how i get on! Xxx

thank you a lot, actually it's my surrogate's pregnancy. Unfortunately, I can't carry a baby by myself. Anyway, we are happy to know we would be parents soon

It's already 4 days have been passed how you feel? any feedbacks of meds?

We are also with one private clinic but they included all needed into a package we have been chosen

Hi Rainbow_86 - just wanted to say good luck!! I'm on similar time scale to you and also secondary infertility. I started my injections last week!! Wishing you all the best and will look out for your updates. Xx

Aww good luck! Will look out for your updates too. I have been put on the short protocol.... so as soon as AF arrives I have to start my injections for 10 days then scan. Feels like it's all going to go really quickly! I wish you all the best on this terrifying/exciting journey and hope it brings us to our dreams xxx

Congratilations on your start! I imagine your excitement as I've been the same not so long ago. Although you are afraid of everything when it's your first time, you don't know what to expect for sure and it's not that difficult to overcome as for me. I was curious about everything and can't say it was fear that filled me, rather excitement. My first try has become successful. I hope my experience will bring you more positive thoughts about your own results. Lots of luck to you xxx
