Starting ivf soon 😬

Hey ladies

I'm new on here I'm going for my first ivf appointment on the 21st of this month and I'm excited but scared too!

Few years back I started having pain after sex and found out I had big cysts and was Endometriosis and had 2 surgeries but scar tissue has blocked my tubes and one is stuck to my pelvic wall I've been tested 4 years ago and have high levels of every thing and my partner has super sperm lol as he puts it lol πŸ˜‚

I'm going to be a egg donor to help someone else at same time and want two eggs to be put back in so got a higher chance of one sticking I'm 32 at moment and losing weight and going gym but I'm worried it won't work it's making me feel very anxious

I do have a 14 year old boy I had at 18 so have carried before

Anyone in same boat as me??

Hi Leanne

I'm not in same boat but I have been through both the IVF and IUI treatment process twice with my wife.

I wish you and your husband all the luck in the world ☺️ x

Thank you had tough 4 years but decided we need to try ivf as was bit over weight and lost over a stone so thought timing was right and eating healthy, but do wish it wasn't so expensive but will be worth it x

My wife and I privately paid for IUI 4 years ago (been fighting our fertility department for almost 7 years now) and after it failed they finally agreed to do investigation. My wife was found to have an ovulation issue and the local CCG agreed to fund 3 IVF cycles after she lost 5 stone, which she did.

Our first one ended in MC and our second has just come back with a BFP so my wife is officially 4 weeks+1 day however she has low progesterone and spotting so we are being cautious ATM.

It's hard and expensive but worth it regardless. X

Hi Leanne, I have my follow up consultation appointment tomorrow I’m nhs so not sure exactly when I will start but I’m hoping (maybe naively) next cycle πŸ™ I also have blocked tubes and one is stuck to my bowel due to the scar tissue. Looking forward to tomorrow to get some answers and hopefully start date.

Wishing you the best of luck βœ¨πŸ’• xx
