Are there any women on here that is doing IVF on their own that share their experience with me? Waiting on my nurse appointment at the minute, all the tests have been done and donor sperm is at the clinic just waiting now for my first attempt but getting a nervous as I just don't know what to expect or how long it will take. I'm sure I'll find out at my next appointment but still want to know now!

Thank you, by the way what is FET? I assume it's you second attempt and wish you good luck xx

in reply toBonita928

FET is frozen embryo transfer. I've got 2 frozen embryos from my fresh cycle in January.

Thank you and good luck to you too x

Hi

I am doing it alone. I am just preparing for my second round of ivf towards the end of the year. I have also joined DC network which was suggested to me by my clinic, so might be worth looking at that if you haven't already. Good luck!

Hi, Donor Conception Network, for anyone who has a child using donor sperm or eggs. So whether you are single, same sex couple, heterosexual couple using donors. They have lots of groups across the country, lots of publications and events to support people using a donor.
