TTC through Donor IUI or Donor IVF or just undecided - all welcome! #makeithappen #loadsofBFPs!!!!

Hello everyone, may I join you please?

Due to start one and only IVF NHS cycle next month. However we've been told by both NHS and a private consultant that our best chance would be with DE.

I'm 38 (just turned) amh is really low at 1.7. DP has low motility of 16%

It's such a confusing time and I feel like I've got nobody to really talk to about it. Everyone including DP is telling me to keep positive about own eggs, but it's so difficult. I just know deep down that I won't be able to conceive with my own eggs. Just in the same way I just knew I had a fertility issue before I even started ttc.

Getting married in June which is a distraction, but I can feel the depression still lurking underneath my veneer of optimism. It's so very hard. :(

Still hoping and crossing my fingers for you Kwick - no AF yet means anything's still possible!

I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas break. I'm at my parents' place along with my brother's family so its nice and lively here! My nephew and I are about to make another batch of mince pies. Christmas isn't finished here yet

All this eating means I've finally put back on the weight that I lost when I was ill last month (it's only taken 7 weeks ).

Loops - your AMH is within 'normal' range although admittedly at the lower end of it. I wouldn't worry about it. Its an indicator of how many eggs you have left so I view it as being a good kick up the backside to get on with it sooner rather than later but nothing more worrying than that!

Kwick - I am in maternity clothes now. Luckily I saw a good friend of mine a couple of weeks ago who's had a baby, and I came away with around six maternity tops and another friend passed on a pair of jeans. Its a good job because on Boxing Day (probably something to do with all the food) my bump just suddenly popped! A week ago I was successfully concealing my pregnancy from my colleagues and now its bloomin' obvious!

kwick you still have 4 sleeps until your otd so it's still early, don't give up hope just yet my lovely xx

Kwick how are you?? X

When they rang me with the results they said wouldn't be able to do egg share ivf because of being on the low level but did say it's still normal but encouraged me to book a consultation (which I already had booked)
Only 15days and 19hours till my appointment !!!!!!!!

Oh sorry! Yeh, I'm 25 (26 in May). I think the 'normal range' is 13.1-53.8 according to one site I found, I'm just angsting I think

How old are you loops? Mine was 9, for my age range the range is 6.8-47 so I'm nearer the lower range (I'm 32) but until I've had my consultation in a couple of weeks I don't know much more
Few more days to go kwick nearly there love
Totally have that desire to know what it's like being pregnant and a mummy! Hopefully we'll all get to know that feeling.

Congratulations shoes half way there,seems to have gone quite quick

kwick good luck!! I know that feel, always wanted to experience being pregnant/being a mum, it's such a deep need

Merry Christmas everyone :D Congratulations shoes 20 weeks, so exciting! I got my AMH result today, 13.56... not sure if that's good or not :/ if anyone with more experience can enlighten me that would be great, although it might be kinda meaningless without the ultrasound/AFC.

Merry Christmas to all! I've had a family focus for the past few days, hence I've been awol!

Hoping you are all well!

karen, I'm dreadfully sorry, but you've done as I would with my fur baby. Xox

shoes how lovely!

Everyone else, hi!

Since my bfn I've been generally okay, but the last few days have been incredibly tough, from shopping for friends babies, to just having new baby announcements happening all over the place, when will it be my turn I wonder?

Xoxo

How was everyone's Xmas?

Just popping by to say happy Christmas to everyone! I hope 2017 brings lots of joy and luck 😊 👶

Karen I hope you manage to find some little moments of joy over Christmas even though you feel so sad.

Merry Christmas everyone

My 20-week scan went smoothly on Thursday so finally I feel that I can be excited about the baby! I'm being kicked by baby a lot now which is such a lovely feeling and useful daily reassurance that everything is OK.

Willing you all to get your BFPs as early on in 2017 as possible

kwick my fingers are crossed that you start out the new year with a bfp.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas Eve. Blessings to all of you. X

You did the right thing sweetie,he was suffering. Thinking of you.

HOPE EVERYONE HAS A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS lots of love to you all and here's to lots babies/pregnancies next year xxxx

Thank you ladies. Letting him go was so hard but it's been something I knew I would have to do for the past month. It was so hard. I feel so guilty. Just trying to make myself get out of bed and go downstairs and not see him. Love to you all. I hope everyone finds some joy this weekend. X

Karen Take care of yourself as best you can.
