Have just found this site, and wish I'd found it before - I had my first IVF cycle in Sept, which didn't work; and it all felt rather lonely and scary, as I don't know anyone else who's gone through it. We've been trying for 9 years, but have only recently been able to afford IVF. I've got to go back to the clinic next week, so they can look at my programme, and see what can be done to improve things when we have another try in January. Will be checking in regularly now, as it's great to be able to talk to people who know what it's like to go through all this. Andrea <><

Hello Andrea Glad you found the site - I find it so useful for bits of info and comparing experiences. I found it a couple of weeks ago and check in daily now to see how everyone is getting on. The cost of the treatment is a nightmare - luckily we had some savings so could start straight away, we're on our second try at the moment and I'll be having my test next monday to see if it's worked. If it doen't this time, we'll really be scratching around for more dosh! No free NHS treatment in our area! Well best of luck for you January attempt. Are you starting from scratch or did you have some frozen embryos from last time? Sarah

Hi Andrea, I only found the site last week, and have been totally overwhelmed by the words of encouragement that I have received. We are currently planning our sixth cycle, which hopefully will be in January. I just wish I had found the site earlier, as i'm sure it would have helped me cope better. Look after yourself Love Daisy

Hi Andrea Welcme to the site - you will meet lots of really understanding people here who will help you when you have any questions. We had to re-mortgage our house to go through IVF so can sympathise with you. Good luck with all your treatment. Let us know how you are doing. Lots of love Louise XXX

Hi Andrea, Just wanted to again welcome you to the site and say how brave you were going on chat last night. Its a bit daunting at first and painfully slow, so the conversations get a bit mixed up - but that all adds to the fun. Hope we'll see you there again soon. Welcome also to all the other newbies I've not already welcomed. Take Care Fiona xxx

Hi Andreaj WELCOME to this fab website. Don't feel alone you will find all the girls are going through the same treatment but all at different stages so anybody will help you along the way - you won't get lost. Glad to hear that you will be re-trying again like yourself my 1st IVF failed and I should be going through my next treatment come the new year. We could be "cycle buddies". Keep us posted on your treatment and your feelings as we are all here for one another. Love Debsx
