Ivf - newbie on here

Hi

Im in the process of starting ivf treatment through the NHS, hopefully be starting end of April/May,

Slight hold up as despite records show I've had the rubella injection my blood test says I'm not amune to it, so I had to have another Rubella done Friday, and I've got to wait an whole month then have another blood test to make sure I'm now amune. then fingers cross I am ! then I can start :) ,

I have aleready had one failed attempt at ivf that i was private, after given up for a bit I went through nhs that found I had hydrosplinx which I then had to have my remaining tube clipped. So I'm hoping a praying that this time everything will be all Ok and on track and it's finally our chance for it to work after a long time off ttc.

Looking forward to getting to know people going through the same situation,

Wishing Baby dust to all

xx

we'll go to ukraine, we changed our clinic and decided to go there. i don't know what will be there because I haven't been there before only read comments about clinic and saw its website. of course, there a chance of fault but we are too tired of being infertile. thanks God my husband's sperm motility is good and we have no need to look for a donor, just an egg donor. we already have seen the donor database, I'm so excited and nervous. it's our first time de conception.

me too, I have frayed nerves.

tomorrow is our day, we'll go to ukraine to undergo the de treatment. I'm praying for the success. honestly, I don't know what will happen tomorrow, I don't know how to act, how to communicate with other people, they don't know Engllish and it's frightful a bit. Gosh, so much thoughts in my head.

I'm in ukraine right now. So excited and happy and stressed and exhausted from the trip but honestly it's the better feelings I ever had. Wow, there are a lot of people from different countries, lots of medical stuff and other people. I'm in queue, have just a few minutes..

How are you? any good news?

Leesalou profile image
Leesalouā€¢ in reply tobfrida

Hi glad your happy with your clinic and that' all is going well, hopefully the queue go down quickly,

No all the same with me I won't have any news until April as I've got to have a blood test end of next month then wait for the results then I can start if there all good,

Good luck with your journey

Keep me posted

bfridaā€¢ in reply toLeesalou

oh, sorry to hear about this.

the queue wasn't so slow and I have already sign the contract. we did it very quickly because we have booked the fly tickets back, as our consultant told us the whole process would not take more than a one day. Still we have enough time to relax and walk around.

My husband is super excited about this country, he told that it seems to be friendly. He was surprised that we had an interpreter and the manager in one person because both of us don't know English.

So are you starting your ivf cycle today or this time your Ukraine? Or another visit, glad your both happy?

Where are you actually from? Xx

bfrida profile image
bfridaā€¢ in reply toLeesalou

Well, we just signed the contract and didn't start the ivf cycle, the doctor said I should wait a bit, around one week I guess, but it's not the problem for me, the clinic gave me a pack of meds, so I'm ok with all.

I'm from Germany and my husband is from UK, but now we are in Germany because of my husband's work.

Leesalouā€¢ in reply tobfrida

Are cool I learnt German at school many moons ago

Think that's right lol, I have an auntie and uncle and cousins that live in Germany,

Not long to go then,

Wishing you lots of luck xx

bfridaā€¢ in reply toLeesalou

wow, great, thanks for good words.

I met my husband in Germany when I was 20, he worked in my friend's company. It techologies. I didn't pay any attention to him at that time, the next our meeting was on my friend's party. I badly spoke Germany, so we talked in English as I knew this language. I had an amazing teacher at school, who gave me a vast range of knowledge. Thanks to her, I understood my future husband, and here we are, we came through many troubles in our life. And this month did a great step to our happy familly.

Sorry for a long prelude, how are you dear?

Glad you have help with the injections, that takes a bit of the worry away doesn't it,

bfridaā€¢ in reply toLeesalou

Mine? It's was amazing, we were both so excited about trip in ukraine. We decided to celebrate the first step...

yes, it's my first de cycle. I had 4 failed with my own eggs, so there is a risk that I would fail one more time. That's why we chose the package with the opportunity to move to the surrogacy conception.

Thank you much for support
