Hi Guys,

In 2017 I was diagnosed with endometriosis and had my right Fallopian tube removed due to a hydrosalpinx (blocked Fallopian tube) ever since then I had always question my fertility and weather I would ever be able to convince I’m only 23 and they had reassured me that my fertility would never be affected I asked my consultant if I could have fertility tests done over the last couple of months I have had the FSH and LH bloody tests done which they tell me are normal I always so had hysterosalpingography to look at my remaining Fallopian tube I had the results and my left side is blocked my doctors has told me there is nothing that can be done and will have to have it removed. I am heartbroken, I feel like nobody really understands this pain that I am going through that I will never be able to convince a child naturally i feel that as a women it’s should be something I should be able to do. I just feel what did I do so bad in life to deserve this. I just don’t no how to deal with it my partner has been good but he just doesn’t understand and people I talk to about it say you’ve still got options it’s just not that same they don’t understand. When it’s something you’ve always known you’ve wanted in life,

You have been through so much for such a young person. Well done for dealing with it all, you as right it is so hard. Most people don't even realise they have any issues at this stage.

Please try to focus on the positives (it's very hard to do). You still have your own eggs and all the other bits that you need to make a baby. Yes you will need help to harvest the eggs but that can be done in a very gentle way. And in some ways it is so much more interesting knowing about every step than the "natural" way. Yes, so much more stressful, and nobody would choose this way, but you still can.

Sending you big hugs and here's hoping you will be cradling your baby soon xxx

Hi and welcome

Aww bless you.

That's a lot to have dealt with and I feel for you.

It's not something most people consider when they ttc it's only after tests and more tests that we realise that we may have to have assistance in conceiving and you're right, people who have managed to have a child or children without assistance will never fully understand how it feels no matter how much we explain.

No advice as such but I just wanted to say that you can always post here and many woman will understand you and answer any questions that you have or if you just want to get things off your chest

Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing, it's really brave of you to open up and you'll get lots of support here.

If you have access to a counselling service I'd recommend it. I found out that DH and I wouldn't be able to conceive naturally at 25 and it is very hard to work through, I have a lot of empathy for you.

IVF really does work miracles and hopefully seeing some of the success stories on the site will give you hope x

Omg I'm sorry for what you're facing. But I totally agree with the above posters, ivf creates miracles. I'm 37 yrs old now & my infertility journey started years ago. We failed to get success with own eggs through cycles. So switched to donor eggs. Both of shots resulting in beautiful babies. You've got the problem nailed & process started and it's a big deal. Wishing you all the best of luck with your further steps. Sending positive vibes your way.
