So we’ve managed to scrape together the money to start the private IVF process...
Off to the clinic tomorrow for mine and my partner’s blood tests and a follicle count scan (the NHS one I had didn’t detail the number so Access Fertility wouldn’t accept it).
I’m really nervous at starting the whole thing! Some days I think ‘I’ll be ok’ and other days I get really jittery when thinking about it. I’m not really feeling excited at all.
I also have in my mind that it probably won’t work - it seems no negative, which is unlike me. Perhaps I’m tying to protect myself against having hope that might later be dashed.
How do you cope with the nerves?

Eek indeed! Masses of luck! If I had one piece of advice - it may be coincidence but I’ve done three round so far and first and third I had sort of given up before they started - to protect myself - and they didn’t work. Second I was full of optimism and positivity and it did work... all I can say is channel the positive mental attitude! Good luck xx
The piece of advice that I was given but took me a little while to do is be kind to yourself and take each day as it comes. Also, allow time out to be a couple, it will be difficult at times but wishing you all the very best 🌸
