Hi everyone,
This is my first time on this site so forgive me if I don't use all the accronyms yet! I am still trying to get to know them all! My friend put me onto this website as she thought it might help me talk to others who have been or going through the same things as me. My DH and I have been TTC for the past 22 months. After seeing so many other friends fall pg and we were still trying, we took ourselves off to our GP - he wanted us to keep trying but we insisted on a referral to a IVF Specialist who had been recommended to us as I just had this underlying feeling that there was something wrong. So, as I sit here now after being poked and prodded to find out what is "wrong" with us in fertility terms - to which there was nothing conclusive, we had our first embryo tranfered Sunday week ago. We had 7 embryos and only only one made it to blastacyst stage, all the others were destroyed. All last week I thought things were going well but I started to spott on Monday and as of this morning, I have been bleeding quite heavily. I know I need to go and have the blood test to confirm my fears but I know we have lost it. I can't explain to my friends who are being so supportive of how I feel. My dream like so many others, was to get get married and have a family. My DH has been so supportive and said we will try again. I know there are other couples out there who have been trying for so much longer than us and who have been through countless IVF treatments. To those of you, I am in awe of you. I never realised just how emotional this would all be and the toll it takes on your life. My brain will not switch off - it is with me constantly. I am going to keep my fingers crossed that we will be successful and we will have that beautiful baby we crave for.
