First IVF - Anxious but calm too!!

Post by Nuala »

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this board and in the midst of my first IVF. Being age 44 I know my chances are very small - less than 2% I believe. We only met two years ago got married last year and have been TTC for 14 months. Wanted to give IVF a go so that we know we've tried every option even if it is not successful.

I took pill for 20 days then Buserelin jabs at 2ml for 7 days now on 1ml and started Puregon 450 0n 19/7. Next scan 26/7 so fingers and toes crossed that I have lots of follies (well 6 or 7 would be good at my age I'm told). I'm at The Lister London - anyone else there???

Great to have a support resource. :D :D

Hi Nuala

Just thought I'd say hello.

I'm due to start IVF in the autumn and have found everyone here really helpful and supportive. I could spend hours reading!

Can't offer any help as you're ahead of me but wishing you the best outcome. I'm sure you will get lots of messages back.
