It's good and bad news girls. They've said we should go for IVF. OH's SA was better but not significantly. That's the bad news. The good news is we can start in 6 weeks time. They've said if it doesn't work first time they'll give us a second go for free. We're only allowed one go really on NHS so that's nice of them.

Feel confused. I want a baby but I wanted it naturally. I need to reach a level of acceptance, that this IS happening to me. I don't think I'm quite there yet. I feel scared too and I feel like a failure. OH is really disappointed as he tried so hard.

I feel ashamed too. I'm really sorry if I shouldn't feel like that but I do. I didn't want this to happen to me.

RedRobin1 · 22/05/2013 15:31

winkle so sorry and a big hug to you and your OH. If it's improving would a few more months make more of a difference to the numbers?

I don't see you as a failure, but a brave, strong woman who has coped with so much over the years and you will still be brave and strong to go through IVF.... if and when you chose to do so, I will be there for you x

twinklestar2 · 22/05/2013 15:45

I'm not strong I'm a wuss cause your post made me feel teary!

kittykatsforever · 22/05/2013 16:24

Winkle it's positive news because its action and action that is the next step on the path to a baby, in the next few months you may be looking at your bfp! Your oh has not failed, everything he and you have done diet wise will increase your chances of it working and there is nothing to say that in the meantime or even for a subsequent you won't be someone who's fertility suddenly gets that jolt and it happens without trying
Chin up lady x

resipsa · 22/05/2013 16:48

winkle sorry that you feel bad about it all but take it from me that when you're in the midst of IVF, it will feel "natural". It's not as "contrived" as I expected and you get pushed, prodded, drugged and examined just as much when you do it unassisted. You have a plan which is positive too. There are 1.5 million IVF cycles per year so you are definitely not alone. PM me if you have any Qs about the process.
