Infertility

Hi all, never posted before but a long time lurker.

So after suffering from Hyper Stimulation just after my egg collection before Christmas my IVF journey was put on hold and my 5 eggs frozen.

I lost one last week in the thawing process but 2 healthy egg babies survived and were put back a week ago last Friday. I'm booked in for my blood test on Friday and I think it has finally dawned on me today, all the pressure of the last 2.5 years, the operations, loss of my tubes have all got to me. Some friendly hand holding may be needed as I find it so hard to talk about this in real life, people don't seem to understand.

Wishing you all the luck in the world. OHSS is no fun at all. I had it quite mildly and they did a 2 day transfer of 2 embryos anyway. Ended up in hospital for nearly 2 weeks as both implanted. Was horrendous but did end up with b/g twins.

Thank you, I was in hospital for 4 days. After everything you go through for egg collection to have that happen ??

Congratulations on your twins, perfect ending which I'm hoping for to. X

Roll on Friday
The waiting is painful isn't it?! I didn't have a blood test I had to POAS which I did every day like a mad woman.
I too lost my tubes, it's was something else to grieve as it took away hope of natural conception but then again took away the misery of AF arriving as I knew it was coming if that makes sense?
Please let us know how your getting on, my fingers are crossed x

I have been alright, or at least pretending to be alright up until today!

I lost my both my tubes at 25 only positive is I have known from that day that I would need IVF so no trying for a year + before investigation, I knew for the get go if that makes any sense. It's still a mental struggle sometimes, knowing your body can't do something that it's designed to do!

Thank you for your well wishes, I struggle in real life to talk about it all and put on a hard exterior x
