Am I just over thinking this... Or is it just me?

But, for some reason I just can't shake the feeling that our IVF journey is going to fail due to my history of 'anovulation'

It's late on a Thursday night, I'm reading my paper work from the clinic and being a nurse myself (reading between the lines) or just looking for reasons to fail because - well everything else has! All the stimulation my ovaries have been given have resulted in just a pathetic 12mm follicle 😕... On one ovary.... On clomid AND Menotrophin...

Bah! Maybe I'm just having an episode of anxiety?

I'm in patient/anxious to know how/if this will even work...

Can any of you ladies out there relate?

Has anyone else gone through my kind of journey with some positive IVF stories to tell of?

Hey, I think it's totally understandable to feel anxious towards IVF especially when you've already been through a lot.

I also have anovulatory periods and tried clomid which didn't make me ovulate. Last year I had my first fresh cycle of IVF which I responded really well to and did fall pregnant although sadly miscarried.

Hopefully IVF will be the right path to have your baby, will keep everything crossed 🤞have you started/got a date to start yet? x

Thanks for your words of encouragement. I'm so sorry to hear of your miscarriage experience, I hope you can go on to have a healthy pregnancy some day.

Yes, I've started the consultation process, I've had blood tests and scans. Started a course of levothyroxine, and am due to go for my information session with view to start treatment following that date - beginning of August. Fingers crossed x
