Summer pearl you seem such a strong lady! I'm not sure I'd be as positive as you.
Would you adopt?

How old is everyone? The doctors say coz of my age ivf would be good and the egg should take well, I'm 26, 27 in July x

I hope you get your appointment through soon mummy wannaby!

Im 24 (25 in July) and OH is 29 (30 in May) - ttc 22 months

hi ladies, may i join in? i also had the same horrible news a fortnight ago - DH has very low sperm count 1million. after ttc for 12 months every month is a struggle while i have watched all my friends and family being pregnant and have their babies. i try to keep a positive front but boy its hard!!!!

i too have a nice 4 bedroom home but so far i have to wait.
The FS has only suggested one option ICSI due to MF and my age (34).

GL ladies and i wish you all the best during your journey

Hi Aleja

Welcome to the waiting game

I think the waiting for appointments bit is the worst part! Im so impatient just want to get on with everything now.

Hi aleja
It's nice to talk to women in the same situation.

I'm very depressed this week. Were on our 19th month and ive been an emotional wreck all week, since Saturday I've cried everyday.
Hubby is feeling really guilty and I'm making him upset coz I can't stop crying.
I just can't help it.
Everything is setting me off.
I cant wait for the hospital appt to come through.

He did another test it has come back with the same results, less than 1 mill x

hi ladies,
i agree - my life has become one big long waiting period now...from one appt to the next

mummywannabe, i am so sorry to hear you are feeling depressed. it really is hard to get out of mindframe of feeling hopeless and trying not to blame our partners but you are still young and your FS is right - that your age is a great factor for ivf success. it probably won't make you feel better right now but when you get your mojo back it will be one of the things that will help you get your little baby

Just a quick update from me - I received the NHS funding application yesterday - so that's all completed and been sent back. Just hppe they deal with it asap so we can finally get things moving!

mummywannabe - hope you are feeling a little bit better now. It is a shock at first and I was the same as you and kept putting my foot in it and make OH feel bad! At the end of the day it doesnt matter whether its a male or female factor its a journey you go through together x

mummy.wannabe · Mar 4th, 2012, 07:03 AM

Wow congrats on the Nhs funding.
What sort of stuff do they ask you?

I'm feeling a lot better at the mo, having a new kitchen put in so think its taking my mind off things a bit x

Melbram · Mar 4th, 2012, 07:37 AM

The main questions they will look at is whether you have been ttc for 2 or more years and whether a fetility problem has been diagnosed - they also asked how long OH and I had been living together?
