Been Doc - now it's IVF next.

For those who know me - I went to my private doc today - he thinks IVF will be the best idea for me.

Bit too blue to chat now - but will keep you posted once I'm referred.

  • Oh hun, i'm so sorry the clomid etc didn't do the trick. Hopefully IVF is the final step to you becoming a mummy, you've certainly been waiting long enough now.

  • Hi MummyWannaBe..... i don't know your history,i'm new on here but i'm sorry to hear the clomid hasn't worked for you, it doesn't seem to be working for me either. IVF would be my next step really but don't have the funds right now.
    Good luck x hope you're ok x x
  • ivf and ICSI is the route we have been advised to go down and like you mrsangelmccann money is tight at the moment! for now we are having to keep trying on hope and dreams! xxx
  • So sorry to hear that MWB - having heard the same news in the last couple of weeks, I know how you feel, and it really is like a bereavement. Give yourself time to get used to the idea and to grieve for what might have been, and then hopefully it'll be all systems go. Make sure you and hubby look after each other - you'll both be hurting over this. Big (((hugs))) xx
  • MWB, sorry to hear that honey, not surprisng your feeling blue.. that news takes some getting used to..

    If your interested, after i had that news i ordered quite a few books on line, im happy to give you some recommendations, if you like that type of thing, i know it helped me..

    Thinking of you xx



  • Thanks ladies - you're all fab!

    GEM 78 - I would love to know what books helped you hun.

    It's still sinking in - I've been in tears once - but I'm sure it's the first time of many!

    People keep saying thats great that I'm getting somewhere - but what those people don't realise is that if IVF doesn't work - then what???? Thats it - it's over! So thats whats making me blue.

    But you are all fab - thank you so much for youe support - it's hard to think this time last year I took three weeks of work with stress and feel pg only to have an ectopic - feels like a hundred years ago now!

    Thank you ladies for your support!

  • Aww MWB i am so sorry. I know we've 'chatted' but we are all hear for you and if u ever need to talk there is always an ear open here for you. Life can be so crap and hard at times and although i cannot possiby know how you are feeling i do know how emotionally tiring it can be ttc. Got my fingers crossed that you soon get seen by a specialist and they get you on the road towards your BFP.
    Sxx

  • Hi MWB

    So sorry you're feeling down. I can honestly say though that the process of IVF really isn't that bad. I know just what you mean about the worry of what happens if it doesn't work, but the way I see it what we've been doing for over 2 years hasn't been working, so this is absolutely our best shot. A couple of our friends called us yesterday to say that their second attempt of IVF had worked and we also know two other couples who have 2 kids each through IVF. Just think MWB, after all this time, this really could be the count down to your BFP!!! That's the way I see it anyway :\) :\) :\)

    Don't get me wrong the IVF is a real rollercoaster but since you can make embryos you should have a good chance of it all working. I'll be here for you if you want to ask any questions and rooting for you all the way. I know psycologically it's a big step and I still have moments when I think 'how on earth did we get here', but if you just take it a step at a time it could be the thing that finally ends your journey and makes you a Mummy.

  • Hey MWB sending you a big kiss and know what you mean i felt the same when we were told we needed icsi in one hand things are going well as in treatment wise in other you feel its your last chance or something its very hard to deal with big kisses to you xxxx
  • Thanks Ladies - you are all so kind!

    I have had time to reflect - I have bought a book on Endometriosis - as I also found out I have that when I went to my doc - he said it casually that it didn't properly sink in - he may have told me after my lap and dye but I honestly don't remember! I have also ordered a book on IVF so I am prepared and can ask all the questions.

    I have done a bit of research online - I'm changing my diet back to organic and no read meat etc etc - I actually fell pg the last time I did it so worth a shot again! I am back to walking in my lunch hour at work, burn a few extra calories and help normalise the hormones!

    I have a couple of hypnosis tracks to listen to to help me chill out before bed!

    I am also going to look into being allergy tested because I always notice a difference when I don't eat bread etc - think I might have an allergy to wheat, which might be affecting things.

    I want to be prepared for the IVF - it will take about 6 weeks before the referal and all the tests etc are done. So gonna prepare my body and mind for process!

    So I think I am doing everything I possibly can!

    Thank you for all your support ladies - it's really lovely!

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
