Thanks for the welcomes. Ok, my story. I don't live in the UK anymore and I've been with DP for just over 3 years and we decided to start to TTC after we'd been together for a year. It felt like the right time, not too soon for us, and I'm not getting any younger (nearly 41)and we'd been through quite a bit as I'd been quite ill with something hideous called Stevens Johnson Syndrome (don't google it if you're eating).
Anyway, I started charting, temperature taking etc, but never really got the hang of it. But what I did notice was that I had very little cervical fluid, and none of the egg white stuff - probably due to damage caused by SJS. I also had spotting, so mentioned it to my GP who knew we were TTC and he referred me to a gynae in September. She bluntly told me that I'd never conceive naturally and I was too old for Assisted Conception so I'd have to go private. I was upset at the time, but not surprised. After charting I knew something wasn't right, and before we even started TTC we hardly ever used condoms.
Went to one clinic, but didn't really like them, can't tell you why, just didn't feel right. Then we tried another clinic where my friend told me their lab is really good. The lovely doctor I saw thought I might have a septum in my uterus. So they did a hysteroscopy to make sure and removed it. Now my uterus isn't divided in two we're starting the IVF!
Obviously I really hope it works, and not sure how many cycles we can afford if not! But I feel that we have to give it a try and hope for best. I feel really positive, which is nice as I was feeling quite apprehensive and stressy. So far so good!
Think that's about it!
