New IVF

[jo mortimer]

Hi Guys,<br><br>I'm new to this site and wondered if anyone out there was in the same position as me. <br><br>We have been ttc for 4 years, had 6 x clomid and we have just started our 1st IVF cycle. I have multi-cystic ovaries (not quite PCOS) but no other probs. I don't have a period but the hospital just put this down to me being underweight (I used to suffer from an Eating Disorder). <br><br>Anyway we are just going through the first phase of injections and are due to go back to the hospital on the 1st July for a scan. I found it particularly hard to sleep last night because I was worried about the IVF not working, they say to stay relaxed but it is hard at times. I just wondered if there was anyone out there who could give me some advice, or who has, like me, just started their first IVF?<br><br>Jo

Hi Jo, I am pretty new to the site as well. We have been ttc for over 4 years, I have had 6 months clomid, 3 IUIs and I have just started sniffing this morning for our first IVF cycle. <br><br>It is hard not to get stressed out. I know it is on my mind 100% of the time - I have been very withdrawn and quiet over the last week.<br><br>We are in good hands on this site - there are lots of people going through (or been through) the same thing and know exactly how you feel. <br><br>Hope you get a better nights sleep tonight.<br><br>Take care<br><br>Dolly<br><br><br><br>

Hi Jo and welcome. There's no getting away from the fact that this is hard but you couldn't be on a better site for assistance and for loads of people going through different experiences but with Positive Mental Attitudes.<br><br>Keep at it, go with the flow, try to relax a bit more, try to imagine that it WILL work, not that it won't - there are lots of girls on here that I have been in touch with over the last few months, with a whole range of different problems, who are now pregnant - it can work for you.<br><br>Wishing you the best of luck with your first scan and all the following treatment - you now have lots of new "sisters" who will be keen to hear how you go on at every stage!!<br><br>Lots of Love - Jo.XXX<br>
