I am going through my first IVF, actually I'm in my 2ww right now, day four actually, my test is next Friday Feb 3. Very nervous and feeling as it hasn't worked lol.
I had a good experience with the ivf so far, I am living in France (husband is french, I am american) and have the best infertility team right here in Marseille, so I feel lucky. The only problem we did have, I am a bit more fertile than they expected and almost had to stop everything. I did stop the gonal-f I was on, even though the dosage was lowered twice, but my follicles still continued to grow! They removed 18 eggs, but after all was said and done, only 2 were really, really good, which is fine with me lol!
The worst part, besides the waiting, was after the egg removal. My ovaries were quite large and up until this morning, I really felt as if my whole insides were going to fall out if I moved, I was in such pain.
Now my belly is hard as a rock, hopefully one of those little embryos is getting ready to latch on though, this has been one heck of a stressful run. But I am very lucky and I know that, if it doesn't work this time I have three more tries and I know one of them will have to work! But I'm so hoping it works this time, just because it is just so much stress and I really am not getting any younger lol.
I'll be looking around a bit more. So thankful all you are going through or have, so I can find otu if anything and everything I can! I really didn't do too much research till now, in disbelief I think. Not being able to believe it is possible I could be pregnant, so didn't want to get my hopes up at all. I've only posted about this online to a few friends.
Nice to be here,hopefully I'll be comfortable enough to be able to post how things go (by comfortable I mean, I'm really uncomfortable bodywise, my stomach so hard, still feel heavy although not as heavy as I did). I wish I could do a hpt and know it was accurate to get this stress off me lol but I know I need to just wait
