First IVF appointment

[Nat246]

Hi all

I have my first appointment on my IVF journey approaching.

Does anyone who has been through this have any tips on what to make sure is explained or what to expect?

Thanks!

Hi Nat. Just wanted to wish you all the best with this. I do have a list of questions I can email you in confidence for you to have a look through. Most won't be appropriate, but there will be a few you can use. You would have to email me at [e-mail] and I will send them to you if you want. Diane

[Nat246 in reply to DianeArnold]

Thanks Diane that would be great. I’ll email you now.

It may seem like a minefield at first but just ask them to break each thing down, we all had to start somewhere, good luck. x

That’s great you e got your first appointment date Nat246

Mines is in a couple of weeks x

[Nat246 in reply to LittleMermaid1]

Great. Perhaps we can stay in touch and go through it together. Don’t know about you but it’s hard not having someone to message who actually understands x

[LittleMermaid1 in reply to Nat246]

Sounds great. Would be fab to keep in touch throughout our journey. I’ll drop you a message after my appointment and let you know how it goes and what you can hopefully expect at yours x

[Nat246 in reply to LittleMermaid1]

Thanks. Best of luck for your appt!

The questions Diana sent were really useful. X
