Hi all :)
I'm mel
This is my first time posting here, wanted to post for a while but finally plucked up the courage to do so today š
Iām 25, my boyfriend is 33. Weāve been TTC for over two years unsuccessfully, though we knew it wouldnāt be likely to conceive naturally as my boyfriend has fertility issues (poor motility 5% and very low sperm count) he had had fertility tests while with an ex partner, so yesterday we had our appt with the GP who has referred us for IVF as he had previously been accepted (but did not go through with) and I have to have a pelvic ultrasound and blood tests which Iām hoping come back all ok...
Itās so exciting that things are finally happening, Iām just after some advice really on what to expect, the waiting process, any tips or helpful tips? Iāve started taking folic acid as advised by my GP, cut out all alcohol, started a healthy diet (Iām not after losing weight just a healthy life style)
I donāt know anyone personally who has been through fertility treatment. Iām dreadfully scared that itāll be unsuccessful as Iād really love to have a baby of our own. Iāve been reading this forum for some time and it seems like a really supportive place to be :) not much family for me to talk to about all this haha
