2nd and final attempt

[Hoping4thesign]

So after our first treatment didn't result in a pregnancy, 5 eggs but only one reached blastocyst stage.we are currently on our second and final go what with nhs rules and me reaching 40 in October. This time I'm having the long protocol ivf, started bureslin on 8th July. Couldn't remember if needed to reuse the needles and syringes so ive used fresh ones each day. Felt tired,headaches , hot flushes, aching arms n legs and felt nauseas ever since. Period arrived later than normal which is very heavy with massive blood clots(is this normal?) I'm hoping to have eggs removed on 14th August if all other things go to plan. I'm so nervous about going through it all again, needing as many eggs as possible and for atleast 2 to reach blastocyst stages to give me double the chances. How can wanting a baby prove to be so hard?

I think it's also hit home at this being the last chance. No money to do private and not sure I can accept the negative pregnancy tests each time anyway

I'm not after any replies really, just needed to write it down and get it off my chest.

hi, hoping it works on your second attempt, fingers crossed 🤞 you are not even 40 yet and a lot of us in our early, mid & late forties are trying to have a baby so you have quite a long time to always try again if things don’t plan out but hopefully you will be OK. I understand finances are tough as I’ve gone through the journey with less finance.

Could you save a bit or take a loan if necessary for private IVF down the line? Just a thought 🤔 can anyone help you
