Hi.. A small introduction.
Hi, I am new to baby expert. I am currently TTC but we are also planning a wedding in the process. However we have been TTC for over 3 years with no luck so I am feeling pretty fed up. Especially as all my friends are either new mums/falling preganant or aren't bothered by children. Thing is I would walk to the end of the earth and back in order to get a BFP.
I have not taken any treatment or any herbal/natural remedies to boost my fertility as I also know h2b has low sperm count and the ones he does have swim backwards. I am hoping there is someone on here either in my position who is pregnant or someone who has been in this situation. I am slowly starting to give up hope about having any children. And we can't afford private IVF or other fertility treatments.
A BIT ABOUT ME
Hi, I;m Michaela I am 24 years old originally from Newcastle but currently living in York with my partner of whom I am marrying on 11th November 2011. I am a qualified nursery nurse who is currently working as a cleaner due to no jobs. I am funny kind/caring and considerate I value other peoples opinions and know that everyone will not get on in life. I don't bite honest, please feel free to ask me anything if you feel I have missed anything off.
Thanks for reading my introduction and I look forward to TTC with you all.

lovely to meet you. its exciting news about your wedding, it will come round very quickly.
ttc is hard especially as everyone else seems to get pregnant so easily. I understand you cant afford private ivf but why are you not eligible for treatment on the nhs? I presume you have has some tests if you know your other half has a low count and poor swimmers.
Also I am a bit wary of Nhs IVF as my sister had went throught the whole protocol and she never concieved which is why I would prefer private to NHS. xx
I can understand the fact your sister didnt conceive putting you off but that doesnt mean you wont
We are self funding because i have a child and the care and service you get is exactly the same as nhs, the only thing different is the waiting lists.
So DONT give up hope and make some phone calls girl!
I am having NHS IVF, and im hoping the care is the same lol, i have been reading up on this and the only difference if any is what meds u get (u may get more choice) but the Care side will be exactly the same, the costing is the same except with NHS its not comming out ur pocket (which is good!)as ??5k a pop aint cheap!..if it doesnt work for us then we will be funding our 2nd attempt. some people (alot i have read about) get there BFP 1st go, and some dont, but wether NHS or Private, if its gonna work its gonna work i guess. good luck! x
