Hi all, I don’t post on here very often but just struggling at the moment so thought it might help to write it down. My DH has his op on Thursday to see if they can find any sperm. We get results on Friday and if it’s been successful I go straight in for my egg retrieval but if it hasn’t been that’s the end of the IVF journey for us. Surprisingly for me I’ve been quite positive throughout this journey even though our chances are very small, but the last few days I’ve been really struggling and wondering if being so positive has just been setting me up for an almighty fall 😔 as I’m sure you all know there are so many ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ In this process it can be really hard to remain positive! I have my scan on Monday to see if I have any follicles 🤞I’ve been told that due to damage from endo my ovarian reserve is low so I’m on the highest does of Menopur which I’m thinking may be why I’m feeling so rubbish. Anyway I’ve just decided that I am going to remain daring to dream ✨🌈⭐️👶 otherwise what’s the point I suppose. I’ll finish my ramble with this pic my sister sent me as this has been helping to get me through this journey ❤️ we all have so much courage and should actually be really proud of ourselves for trying no matter what the outcome may be -at least we are giving it a shot! I wish everyone all the luck in the world with their journeys xxx

Good luck hun. My partner has azoospermia and we went through a successful retrieval. I also got told I had poor reserve and may not respond. We ended up with 4 5day blasts. We are still waiting for our BFP but we are a whole lot further on than we ever dared to imagine. It's a daunting situation and I wish you all the luck in the world. You both should be so proud of yourselves. Big hugs xx

Thank you so much for your reply, hearing you say how far you have got makes me feel so much better ❤️ just what I needed today! We don’t know anyone that has azoospermia so we have felt very much alone and extremely daunted by the whole process as you just don’t know if your even going get to the stage of embryos. But your comment has picked me back up xx thank you again and I wish you luck for the rest of your journey xx

Thanks hun. This time 12months ago we were sat in your shoes. It's all so daunting! I'm glad my reply helped and if you want to ask any questions don't hesitate to do so! I've not been on the forum for a while as I needed a bit of a break but I've previously posted a few things that may help. You are definitely not alone. Thinking of you both xx

Good luck, my OH had his retrieval months before my EC but I guess our situation may be different as to why they may have done that! Hope all goes well xx

Hiya, I think we’ve got to dare to dream and stay positive to keep us going. I love this picture. Another lady posted it a while back. It really resonates with me.

I’m hoping there will be good news for you both following your husband’s surgery and that your ivf can proceed. Good luck xx
