Hi Lisa!

I think everything you are feeling is 100% normal! Even if it is just not being sure how to feel. It is a rollercoaster of a journey but everyone on here is amazing and so supportive.

Hubby and i are going through the process of Ivf. Signing consent forms this week. Getting a bit nervous but want to get started.

Have you got dates for any of your tests? Wishing you loads of luck and love xxx

Hi Judy,

Thank you for your reply ! I go in on the 10th of December for the fallopian tube test but other than that I'm not sure how long the wait is for IUI or IVF ! I'm hoping it's not a long wait.

Good luck with your IVF treatment ☺️

Xx

Hi Lisa

I'm more or less in the same position as you. I've been trying for two years and was recently told it was 'unexplained infertility'. Due to my age (I'm 38) we've been placed straight on the list for IVF and are now awaiting on the letter to say we've got an appointment for the initial consultation.

It's scary, nerve wracking, uncertain and exciting. I'm trying to get as much info as possible but until your living it then it doesn't make much sense.

Good luck and fingers crossed you get the results you wish for 🤞

Thank you !

I hope everything goes well for you guys too and you don't wait to long for your appointment 🤞

I have good and bad days ! Some days excited and other days I feel like I shouldn't need help to have a baby 😔 .

Emotions all over the place xxx

Hiya 👋

I’m new(ish) to this myself and what you’re feeling is definitely normal. It’s good that you’re on your way to getting some answers which is where I am at the moment too.

It’s great to know things are moving forwards but I feel really impatient sometimes too!! I hope you don’t have to wait too long and that you get good news and results 🙂

Wishing you lots of luck and keep us posted Xxx

Thank you !

I totally get the impatient feeling 😏 Some days I feel great and excited about everything and other days I feel like nothing is going to work. It's bloody hard 😩

I wish you all the luck in the world - I will keep you posted on how I get on xx

Hi Lisa,

I know those feeling very well! Very new to this too, we went to our GP last November and various tests later we started our IVF process in October (was delayed for various reasons..) wishing you the best of luck! xx
