Hey guys, I know this feed is for people currently going through IVF however, we're on the waiting list with the NHS and hoping and praying it's no longer than Jan before we get started. We've been TTC for 2 years and 3 months now and although we hadn't been trying too hard the last few months (I really needed a mental break from it all), this month we decided to get back to it and really try. I knew I wasn't pregnant and haven't had any symptoms yet again but so off course today my girly time made her appearance once again leaving my heart in bits again. Every single one of my friends have tried for their babies, had their babies and we're now in the process of celebrating 1st birthdays in the time scale that we've been trying. All my social circle ever talk about now is babies. And I know this is where their lives are and I am so happy and delighted for them all, but sometimes it really just gets to be too much. Does this process ever get easier? I doubt it!! I'm excited about finally starting our journey with IVF but also so so scared!!! To everyone doing it, it's a lifeline and a very valuable one but the prospect of it not working, scares me so much as we only get one attempt on the NHS in NI then its onto private. I guess we'll just have to cross one bridge at a time.
I'm delighted to have found this feed as it helps to talk to others going through the same thing. We're the only ones in our social group facing this scenario.
Maybe its just the hormones but today is most definitely one of 'those' days.
Baby dust to you all xx

Welcome!! This place is for everyone, regardless of what point you're at with your treatment you'll find loads of lovely people here who are a fantastic source of support. It's exciting that you've started your IVF journey, I think that helps to make you feel proactive and like you're actually doing something. Totally relate to the whole friends situation too, my friend's little boy will be almost 3 by the time my IVF baby arrives in January and we started our IVF journey around the same time she started to try for her baby. It's a long old process but it's amazing what they can help your body to achieve. Best of luck lovely x
Hi Molly, cycle day one is horrible ! the forum is for all who struggle with fertility, I was on here for a year before I had IVF and lots of people are on here TTC naturally or IUI or just waiting ...
ugh I know I'm preparing myself for the second wave of babies which I'm sure will start soon, it's really tough. It can be isolating. My strategy has been to be up front and honest about the heartache of this all with most friends and it's certainly filtered out the people I don't need to be close to any more (plus I've lost one insensitive one along the way) The best ones are the friends who have wanted to work together on these friendships.
