New to the group 😘

[MrsAdzee]

Hello everyone,

Been a silent follower of the group for a few weeks now & have observed what a friendly supportive bunch you all are so I thought I’d introduce myself & hopefully start becoming more actively involved in the valuable chats I’ve been reading!

So I’m 33, myself and my hubby been actively ttc since 2015. We had a spontaneous pregnancy in Dec 2016 which sadly ended in an early mc at 5 weeks. Many investigations later and we have been diagnosed as “unexplained”.

Currently on our first round of IVF. Emotionally I’m finding the process difficult, particularly the juggling of work commitments and staying sane! However we are waiting for our very first transfer (frozen) which is scheduled for next week. So grateful to be finally going through treatment and trying so hard to remain positive throughout.

Massive respect to all of you who are on this journey! It’s so tough but we’ll get there xxx

Hello and welcome! Im sorry to read about your mc x I did the same as you when I first joined, I had never joined a forum before. There are many knowledgeable ladies and gentlemen here who are always willing to help. I was also originally diagnosed as unexplained, I'm not sure what I am any more 😁 I hope your frozen cycle goes well next week and hope you have some nice things planned to help with your wait xx

[MrsAdzee in reply to AnnieAnnie]

Thank you so much for replying! This is my first forum too.....I think it’s so helpful to hear from people who understand & have experience of infertility.

Unexplained is a tricky one - something I’ve had mixed feelings about. On one hand your happy that they’ve not found anything untoward but on the other hand I’ve sometimes felt that it would be better to have an explanation so that they could treat it. I go through the motions.

Wishing you well with your journey too xx

[AnnieAnnie in reply to MrsAdzee]

I agree! Some of the feedback you get on here is more helpful than that from the professionals. I was diagnosed unexplained early on, even after a low AMH blood test they continued to class me as unexplained. Since that time I've had further testing and I'm a carrier of a gene mutation which causes a blood clotting disorder and I've also had uNK Cells tested which were below normal. Unfortunately I feel I need to know the WHY I've never been pregnant, as like you, I would rather have something to treat rather than go through cycle after cycle not knowing xx

Hi, I have also found it a huge help and has kept me feeling positive even, reading stories of people's lives and getting to know them through this forum has been a god send. Im sorry to here of your mc but glad to hear you are feeling positive about your treatment. I had my tube removed following an ectopic pregnancy last year and am currently on my send cycle after my first ft failed. I am lucky to have 4 more frozen but hopefully won't need them just yet after my recent bfp I am currently waiting my 8 week scan but lucky to have got this far. I find "unexplained" difficult because many people have gone through IVF and it not worked to later discover they have conceived naturally, or started the process of IVF and conceived before it. Finger crossed we all get our baby(s) xx

[MrsAdzee in reply to Sammy18]

Thank you for replying! Congratulations on your bfp that’s great news 😍. Totally relate to the difficulties you describe with the “unexplained” xx

Hello and welcome. You will have seen our strongest and weakest moments over the last few weeks. But overriding it all is the support and strength that we bring to each other, along with a sprinkling of sanity just to stop us going over the edge!

Best of luck with your transfer and 2ww. And please do ask any questions - no matter how daft you think they might be. Xxx

[MrsAdzee in reply to Hidden]

Thank you so much 😘 I have plenty of questions! Dr Google is not always helpful xx

Hi and welcome

The group is great and people are always willing to help if they know the answer or point in the right direction if they don't. Also a place where you can off load and lots of people will understand and support you.

So sorry for your loss, that must have been awful for you.

It sure is difficult, I find the emotions come in waves, one day I'm fine and coping rather well in my opinion and the next day I'm full of worry and doubt. Work is tricky to negotiate but I've done well so far as the clinic is so close to work.

Good luck for you FET next week, I hope all goes smoothly and as stress-free as possible.

Hi MrsAdzee, welcome to the group. So sorry to hear about your MC, I know how difficult it can be, I don't know where I would be without the support of this group. Good luck with your FET xx
