Hello everyone, I am new here but could really use some reassurance/advice.
My partner and I are due to attend our IVF information appointment with the nurse in the 6th August 2018. I am so nervous about this. I have read all the information I can find surrounding IVF but I still feel very anxious and panicked.
I am 26 years old, have been pregnant before (when I was 21) but miscarried at 13 weeks. I came off the 12 week depo injection in june 2016 and have not fallen pregnant since but have been actively trying.
After many tests the results show I do ovulate however my AMH is 8.3 which is apparently very concerning for my age and so we have been offered one round of IVF.
I am aware this post probably makes no sense but if anyone could offer any advice what so ever I would be really grateful.
Thank you
What is it in particular about ivf you would like advice on?
I was much the same as you when confronted with the reality of having to go down the ivf route and googled like mad. It left me really scared. But I think that’s only normal. All I can say is this; yes it’s daunting, you’ll be faced with a rollercoaster of emotions and you may struggle at first but you will quickly get the hang of everything and you will be fine xx
Just what to emotionally expect, what is the treatment like, has anyone else had a low AMH level? I just never thought I would need IVF and it has really frightened me. Also did people act really sorry yet positive towards you when you told them.. I just feel very confused.
Google has definitely worried Me! I think our next app will be very helpful it just feels very far away.
Thank you for your response xxx
Hi! I have low amh but a lot lower than you, found out aged 31 it was only 2.7! It was the waiting and diagnosis then the wait for the treatment that was the worst part for me. The treatment itself was emotionally easier to take (although waiting for the fertilisation call and the day 3 update is tough!). Happy to answer any questions! I have an ivf Instagram account based on my 5 rounds I’ve done, it’s onedaywewillbethree if you want to nose at my journey in pictures! I’m private so you’ll have to tell me your username so I know to accept you xx
Oh really? I just think because i dont know anyone who has been in the same or similar situation to me I feel very scared of the unknown I guess. I am hoping that after the app in august we know more. How long after that app does it usually take to get the ball rolling? They did say it can be from my next cycle?
Thank you xx
If they have said next cycle then I’m sure that’s when you will start! For me they took a while to agree to my funding and all my investigation appointments were really spread out so it took 7 months from my first investigations to finally get to start xx
I hope it is the my next cycle, I am finding the waiting quite hard xxx
