Hi to everyone. Me and DH have been trying for 4 yrs. Eventually referred for IVF in June 2004 as a result of my severe Endometriosis & Intramuscular Fibroid. Couldn't start in July as put at risk of redundancy. That all sorted itself out in September. Went back in Oct to Jimmy's and couldn't start ...

Ni - I'm not far from you...Littleborough, between Rochdale and Halifax. We had the choice of treatment at Manchester or Leeds, but selected Leeds as it's nearer to where I work!.
We are hoping to get started in about October, so perhaps we can support each other through it. There seem to be quite a ...

Becki, I too am about to start - hopefully October. Am going back next Wed to find out the results of all the many tests we have both had. Sometimes I don't feel normal as so far I don't feel really stressed. For me, I can't imagine being off work - I think it's the only thing that will keep me sane ...

Well done Dee Dee - I know you don't know me as I am new to the board, but to be honest it's great to see some good news. I was beginning to think that no-one ever got pg! (is that the right terminology)...there seem's to be so many pitfalls. We will be starting at Leeds in September/October so I ...

Coffee/tea etc, no problem as I only drink herbal teas and lots of water...........but ALCOHOL!!!!! - Oh dear????? It's amazing how much terminology I am going to have to learn...DH, FET, OHSS - it's a minefield!

Hi - going for my first appt on Saturday. It's happened so quickly...op etc showed severe Endometriousis (strange cos I don't have any problems!!!) and because as the consultants says "I don't have time on my hands" - cheek, I am 39!!!!.....we have opted for IVF.
Although I have known some friends ...
