So much to take in

[beginnerAdviceNeeded]

Hi everyone

my cycle has started, it’s all been logged with my clinic, I’m now waiting for the documents to come through with my dates, I’m told my medication will be ordered today.

at first, this all seemed exciting.

Then I continue to read all the comments and story’s on here. It’s scares me so much.

What sort of problems has everyone come across which prevents them from getting to the next stage?

I wish you all the best of luck on your journeys ♥️

Hi. I'm in the same boat as you, first appt yesterday and got script today looking around for best prices of meds as private treatment. Try to focus on the positives rather than what could go wrong. Our consultant said that it wont work unless we are chilled.xx

Yea your right, definitely need to relax. I’m ok until I browse on here and read all the complications people face. I don’t actually start doing anything till day 21... so maybe il try not to look to much into it, and face things as they come.

Is there anything your worried about? Xx

Honestly, all the stuff that could happen is not worth looking into. Listen to your doctor and do what you can but try to stay calm and positive, I'm sure its all you need. I start meds in around 2 weeks if all goes to plan, trying to think of the end goal xx

So many things can happen with the treatment. You can't prepare for the "negatives" just got to ride the rollercoaster of ivf. On that ride celebrate every high and know that even if there are lows this forum is here to support and there are usually ways to go about things to get out of low. Cross those bridges IF you get to them. For the moment concentrate that you have a chance with ivf that otherwise you wouldn't have had x

Hi beginnerAdviceNeeded I just wanted to wish you luck 🍀

All us ladies are different and all our experiences are unique so you just have to go with the advice of your consultant and trust that things will work out just fine. I remember when we started (after a 12 month delay as I had to lose weight in order to meet the criteria) there were no complications as such but my AFC was terrible, think I had 1 front runner. This didn't give me alot of hope but I just knew I had to do this if it meant that we could potentially have a family ( I'm 29 weeks pregnant now) My cycle also got put back a month which can also be frustrating, but honestly, just trust the process, you will be surprised at how strong and focussed you can be xx

Everyone is different as some may be on long protocol some short and there are lots of different medications too. You just concentrate on you, make sure you drink lots of water have vitamins, eat healthy etc and the rest will take care of itself really. You’re clinic will keep you updated regularly with your scans and as long as you follow instructions given there’s not much more you can do. Don’t worry about how it can go wrong just focus on positives and what all this will hopefully bring you.

Best of luck x

Maybe try some mindfulness/meditation with 10 minutes or so a day! Might help take your minds of things! I wish you all the best on your journey!

The book the secret is also good about the power of positive thinking x
