Bit of a broadside today. Had a laparoscopy this morning for suspected endometriosis - that's all fine, none found, but turns out the dye test failed and my tubes are 'not functioning'. Zero percent chance of natural conception, so the suggestion is for IVF referral.
I always said I didn't want it if I couldn't conceive naturally but now I really have no choice I guess that changes things. Am seeing my GP next week to talk it through, but could do with hearing some real life experiences if people are prepared to share. At 38, with no other children or previous pregnancies, am I even eligible on the NHS? And what's the process like? People describe it as 'emotional' and 'traumatic', but any advice on how to get through it would be appreciated.
My life got turned on its head today - still can't quite take it in...
