Hi Marcela

Welcome :D

You will find this site is fantastic. Anything you want to know about IVF just ask and there are loads of girls here who will be able to help.

Are you just about to begin - is this your consultation appointment?

As Nicola said, pop over to the General Forum and post there as well because you will get loads more replies.

Good luck and stay in touch.

You'll Be Fine!!!!

I've had three IVFs. One son from the second try. You will be fine. Just take it one day at a time, give yourself permission to be nervous, sad, happy, anything, and know that we are here to support you because at least one of us has had the same emotion as you.

Let us know how it goes!!!! Good luck, Liz

Hi Marcela. Welcome to the Site :) As you've already found, everyone on here is friendly and supportive.

Everyone feels nervous as they're approaching their first IVF. It's only natural to be nervous of the unknown. As Liz says, take it one day at a time and it will all fall into place. I'm sure that the whole process is really not as bad as you're expecting. We're all here to support you through every stage, and hopefully answer any questions you have.

Good luck !!

Hi Alison and Marcela and welcome to you both :D

I too am on my first cycle of IVF. I started downregulating on Tuesday 29th March. As the others have suggested already, the general forum board is where you'll find the rest of the chat from those currently cycling. Try the March/April cycle buddies thread and the Roll call for April and May.

You'll get great support and lots of info and people's experiences from this site.

Good luck - hope your dreams come true.
