Thanks so much for your kind words!
Nic, oh do I have some reading material? The FS gave me my own folder to take all the print outs home
Plenty of reading to do over the next few days.
It's not so much the information I need to take it, just the fact I am here... it just wasn't supposed to be like this.
I'm trying to stay positive, but I barely slept last night thinking about it all.
Thanks again girls, I'm definitely feeling the love xo

I felt that too. It takes time to get your mind around the new reality. And then you eventually get to a point where you say ok, this is my new path, and you can jump right in fully prepared for what comes next.
It kinda sucks a bit though, when you never thought about having to deal with IVF.
Ask lots from those who have gone through it and debrief when you need to.
Yeah, I can totally relate to that feeling too. I remember coming round in recovery from my diagnostic laparoscopy with a stupid registrar standing over me telling me that I'd never be able to conceive naturally and that IVF would be our only option and then she just walked away! Leaving a poor recovery nurse to deal with a hysterical and woozy patient!
I felt like someone had died.
It's good to know what your options are now so that you can formulate a plan. Once I got over the initial grief, I was able to focus and decide what we needed to do.
You'll get there hun.

You're going to make me cry in a minute...No, it definitely wasn't. I definitely wish it wasn't like this.
It wasn't supposed to be like this... but it is.
Sue, that's exactly how I feel... like someone has died. My ability to conceive naturally... has died.
Grief... funny, until I read your post, I never thought about it like that, but it is...
Alright, tears have started and I'm at work... must stop reading
Love you all
Oh hun, I'm sorry, I hope I didn't make you cry

Oh don't you start too!!! I won't stop if someone else startsOh hun, I'm sorry, I hope I didn't make you cry
I have tears now
I'm ok... It's just the realisation I think. It's hitting home now... instead of researching new TTC methods, I'm trying to pinpoint IVF costs and thinking about surgery and taking time off work to recover...
Knowledge is power hun, sounds like a good plan!
I'm here (along with everyone else) if you want to PM me or anything anytime.

Check out my new signature!!!
At approx 2am this morning, after talking for a good 2 hours... we have decided to start IVF early next year.
My eyes are hanging out of my head, but I cannot tell you the peace I am feeling right now.
DH said that he had decided a couple of days ago that we would go ahead with IVF, but had to be sure within himself before we talked about it.
He said he couldn't live with himself if he denied me this chance to have a baby...
