Me and my partner who have been together for nearly 10 years joined the waiting list for ICSI almost 2 years ago, however, we got a letter back in June to say we had reached the top of the waiting list and were asked to attend the fertility clinic at the hospital for some further bloods etc to basically get the ball rolling. It turned out that i was actually just over the max BMI so had to lose a wee bit of weight first then go back when all the criteria has been met which it now has. The only thing now is that we have our wedding booked in 2 years time and i know that going through this treatment takes everything out of you both and you have to put 100% into it, with no stresses or worries in order to put yourself in the best possible place of a positive result. I am just worried that with the stresses of organising a wedding and potentially going through treatment at the same time might be a bit to much physically, mentally and financially. Does anyone know if it is possible to postpone our treatment until after our wedding? I know that we should be lucky to take these 2 full cycles of ICSI on the NHS and try to conceive but i just feel that we only have these 2 chances and we want to be in the best position to start the treatment. I haven't spoken to my fiance about it because i am scared he won't have the same opinion and don't know how to approach it. Just wanted to know if it would be possible first before i approach the subject and then it transpires it wouldn't be possible so there wasn't much point in me mentioning it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
