I have just found this site and what a relief it is to be able to read the experiences of others who really do understand what it feels like to struggle having a child. I am 35 and my dh & I have been together for nearly 14 yrs. We have been married 5 yrs on fri, and have been trying for a child since we got married. We wanted to wait to get married before trying ( wanting to do it right). Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer 4 yrs ago, and underwent a trachelectomy as I wanted to try & preserve my fertililty. So lots of treatments, check-ups, laparoscopy's later, we are still trying to conceive. I now have endemetriosis, ovarian polypses etc. We have just undergone our 1st round of ivf. I found out that none of the eggs had fertilised. To be honest, I was more shocked that it had failed at that stage than anything else. I was expecting to have the ET done then to miscarry!! ( I was trying to be positive but at the same time realistic - not easy as you want to have a PMA but are trying to prepare yourself for the worst!!) Does any of this make sense at all?? Anyway, it is good to find a place that I can come to & spill!! It would be good to hear from anyone else.
As they say, keep positive & be happy,
S
