Just wondered as it seems most are totally underwhelmed when it comes to mentioning IVF on these threads. It could be that folk dont know enough about it to offer thier genuine best wishes. Anyway if you are like me and embarking on IVF, would love to hear your experiences.

changeofnameforthis, intrigued about why you chose not to tell friends/family about your experiences...

I had ICSI successfully (DD1). Stressful, but very worth it.

I'm a regular poster but have changed my name for this as our IVF journey hasn't been shared with friends/family ... just incase anyone out there knows me! Anyway, lots of luck for your transfer on Thursday. I have two children resulting from 3 FET transfers and am hoping to try another FET fairly soon. Please keep us posted - I'll add this thread to my watch list cos I'd love to know how you get on.

actually, there are loads of threads but not necessarily recent ones if you look on the conception board and put the threads into alphabetical order.

I take it you've seen the IVF threads. I'll try and find some. Yes, had dd 16 weeks ago . Got pregnant on 3rd and 4th goes too but sadly miscarried those. DD is/was certainly worth the wait and all the emotion. How old is your DS?

I had Ds through IVF and now about to have embryo's stored, thawed and replaced this coming thursday. I just hadnt seen anything regarding this and wondered if anyone else was going through ivf too. IVF and similar methods are very taxing on the recipients and thought it might help others to go through stuff. Considering 1 in 4 couples are infertile it seems amazing that not many have come forward. I had mentioned my intentions on other threads and really didnt get any excitement about it. I can fully understand if they havent had this treatment as it can be a minefield. Were you successful with your treatment?

no, not at all. I didn't have ivf but had 5 lots of IUI. Is there something you wanted to ask or do you just want to chat to someone who's been through it? Are you having treatment now?

Welcome to MN btw
