hey ladies, Never thought I’d ever say it but I’m actually starting to think about IVF … I have completed 6month of clomid without any luck .. well just had my day 21 bloods done for my 6th month but I know this month hasn’t worked aswell ..
I live in north west England .. half an hour away from manchester .. I wanted some info on ivf in this area .. I’m going to get an appointment sent to see my gynae .. I’m thinking to say yes to IVF .. I know that there is usually a waiting list ..
I wanted to know more information all about it, the whole procedure, I’m scared about is being painful .. is there anyone who has had it done lately?? Is there anyone who can help me advise me … I’m sooo upset … please help
I don't think anything will be more painful than childbirth so don't worry about it.
A few people have been through the procedure and ended up pregnant.
So your chances are good. Dont forget to pray :)
Yes, there’s a waiting list for IVF. So better get on the list as soon as possible. I might be wrong but I think there are 3 free cycles of IVF allowed on the NHS. See your gyne, they may have a protocol where they make you try certain fertility treatments before you jump onto IVF on the NHS ( obviously if you are going private this will not apply and also there will be no waiting list).
My friend tried IVF. Other than injections ( mostly injected by yourself or your husband) it’s not that bad. The egg retrieval process itself is quite painless due to anesthesia ( not general). Don’t know about Manchester area IVF though. Manchester is a big metropolitan area, you should have good options. Prayers IA. Understanding IVF Treatment, Step by Step

yeah I know that was what I were thinking that if I want to go ahead better get things moving as Im sure there will be a waiting list .. ever since I started going to my gyne she always said to me to go for IVF .. but I kept putting it off .. she said I can have it free through nhs .. I think that’s what I’m going to do ..
I’m so scared about the injections part as I can’t even have a blood test without crying .. I can’t do needles .. I’ll never be able to inject myself ever
Thanks for the info .. I’ll have a read
Aww, hugs but IA, you will have a sweet smiling baby at the end. I don't think I would have even got married if they hadn't invented epidurals, lol. But think of this, women have been having babies for centuries and there must have been ones who were even bigger wimps.
IUI is another type of treatment but if your gyne is suggesting IVF directly that must be better for you. IVF does have higher success rates. Ask your doctor.

Thats what I keep telling myself .. how desperate I am to have a baby so I need to toughen up .. I've always been a big softy though it's so hard :(
I've read that link and I'm definitely going to say yes to IVF when I next see my gynae .. I've decided for now .. let's see .. I just want everything to move quickly
You are not alone in this journey. There are lots of couple out there. I being one of them. Started seeing a fertility specialist since 2 weeks ago the first time. At that time my initial fertility bloodwork was done. The reports to me & my ob/gyn seems fine but the fertility specialist diagnosed me with diminished ovarian reserve although my AMH was 1.5, FSH 7.1 & AFC 10. She asked me to go for the HCG test & found that both tubes might be block (inconclusive) I am going to get a 2nd opinion in 2 weeks. Will get laproacopy & then straight to IVF. Interestingly my fertility specialist from day 1 is pushing me for IVF. Lets see what future holds for me. I am positive though.
Thanks @eastern11. Yes I noticed the same thing. The fertility doc that i am seeing is also the director of IVF of the hospital where I go so maybe thats why she wants to do what she is best at.

awww lots of prayers for you aswell .. InshaAllah it will work for you .. I've been on this journey for over 3 and half years :( .. it's just unbearable .. plus here in England where I live they take ages to see you .. I have to wait a month or so just to see the gynea .. everything takes so long.
You need to see a proper fertility doctor. In the US they are known as reproductive endocrinologists. It will make a world of difference.
what does a reproductive endocrinologist do? if I find one close to me here in the UK can I just go to see him/her?
my gynaecologist has given me an appointment to see her on 1st June .. I'm not happy :( .. it's too long I've already waited ages ...
… I have completed 6month of clomid without any luck
