Hi folks
So I’m awaiting NHS IVF, they’ve said another 8-10 months. Unexplained infertility, never been pregnant, nearly 2.5 years TTC. I’m 35.
The only test I haven’t had yet is the ovarian reserve, they said they will do this near to IVF time. I’ve just realised i can get this test done at a local pharmacy. My concern is if I get the results and they are bad, I’ve no support or no one to ask what it means/if there’s anything I can do.
My thinking to get it done is wouldn’t it be better to know now rather than waiting another few months, incase there is something I can do (although I’m not sure what).
Has anyone gone through a similar dilemma and have any advice? xx
Hi my dear. My hunch is to wait to be honest. The one they’ll do as part of your ivf treatment will be much more accurate. I know it seems as though knowing everything is good but I really believe that not knowing some things can actually bring you some hope. Why not give yourself another couple of months of feeling positive heading into ivf? I wish you the best of luck for your treatment and hope it is successful for you. xxx
