Endo, IVF

[Ariel8]

Hi ladies,

I've been reading all your posts for months now and have finally decided to share my story and look for some support. My husband and I started TTC in Feb last year, 5 months later I had a miscarriage and was diagnosed with Endo. I had surgery in November and put on medication later for two months. Now I've been trying again for months and we have decided to have IVF in August after finding out one of my tubes is blocked.

I am having anxiety problems with the whole hospital, tests, different doctors etc things, and am a bit concerned about the IVF itself. This journey from TTC to IVF has just been too long and painful. And I'm still very sad about the miscarriage.

Any advice on how to deal with the anxiety would be much appreciated, I need all the help I can to go through IVF now!

Hi Hunny, it sounds like your having a rough journey at the moment, but you will find plenty of support on here from ladies who have experienced the same things as you. Sadly everything in relation to IVF or infertility is never a quick process, however I once read a saying “Never give up on your dreams because of the time they will take to achieve as the time will pass anyway” it’s so true and something I try to remember when going through a period of frustration. I find there are days that I’m completely fine with it all and other days when it’s all you can think about. Hoping you feel better soon hunny x x

Thanks so much, love that saying. Sad to hear it's also being difficult for you. It's the same for me, some days I'm fine distracted with work and family and some others I can't stop thinking about it and how many months will have to pass by before I finally make it...

I am finding doing sport very helpful on those days...

Hope it all works out for you and again, thanks for your kind words

Hey Hun, I am sorry to hear your having a tough time. TTC really plays on anxiety. I don't know coping measures that I can recommend you. But I can tell you I have endometriosis and I concieved after 2 X iuis, 2 fresh IVF and was finally successful on my frozen cycle. It took me 3 years to get where I am. My cousin also has a blocked tube and was able to concieve naturally. So I just want to give you hope. There will be alot of ups and downs on this journey. But I can only I don't know if I actually had a technique on dealing with emotions. Good luck xx

Thanks so much for giving me hope at a time where I really need it! I am really happy to hear you made it even if it took a long time which I'm sure must have been very hard for you. Thank you again, I'll try not to loose that hope!

Sounds like ur having a hard time. Its not easy doing IVF i wont paint it as a pretty picture because its not all the time. Im very laid back and i didnt let the IVF take over my life. I still went out and did things and i just took my injections with me i did my injections in lots of places on car parks on the train. Its became fun on where we could do it. I also have a intergram which follows my journey. #kpivfjourney

Good luck with ur journey

Enjoy it!!
