Mine is also quite a long story, but I have had 3 attempts at IVF with a 'naturally conceived' preganancy just after my last go (which ended in miscarriage).
I suppose I have been on IVF for about 18months and the TTW is a killer. Not even hubby's empathise. Every time I went to the toilet, I'd be scared to look at my knickers...just in case there was a blood stain. And I remember with almost precision accurateness the emotions I felt when indeed AF did turn up (always before the 14 days mark post insem).
As I said above, I recently had a miscarriage (twins) so I have not long had a D&C and then a few weeks after a laporoscopy. That was about 2 and a bit weeks ago (??? time flies..) I have an appointment to see my specialist on the 16th Sept to talk about the next steps which will be another crack at IVF, but this time using the GIFT technique rather than the 'true' IVF where the eggs are fertilized outside the body.
My problem doesn't seem to be getting pregnant - I could almost fall in by just looking at my DH during my fertile times - but rather staying pregnant is my issue. Problem is, most of my pgs don't want to end my themselves and therefore I have been almost at the end of my forst tri by the time we find out that the pg has failed. Very frustrating.
Anyway, I've blabbed on enough. I too am also happy to talk about anything...treatments, emotions, grumblings over the costs!!!....
