Hello, please can I join? Been on threads with a few of you already and it's good to see familiar names.
We had our initial appointment in Edinburgh last month, and were transferred for ICSI right away which was a surprise. The lovely consultant also said that with dp's results it isn't at all likely to happen naturally, although there is a tiny chance. We should be starting treatment at EFREC in the autumn when we will both be thirty six.
Just waiting on my first period since appointment and feeling really down. A good friend bus pregnant with her second and when she told me she said she knows how I feel because this time she had to try three months to conceive. Three months! She's one of my oldest friends to the point where we have had weird telepathy like things in the past, ie. I have dreams if she's struggling with something and vice versa wherever in the world we both are. I know that sounds a bit woo but it's true so don't want to throw the friendship away. I just feel so angry everytime I think of it and so sad that she has no understanding of IVF or infertility.
I'm terrified ICSI won't work as dp is making so few lifestyle changes. He thinks he is healthy but only exercises once a week, and is nearly obese. Sometimes I get irrationality angry with him for putting me through two years of trying and the hell that entails. I couldn't sleep last night for worry.
Sorry if this is whingy. It's good to see people here.
@Jonrik amazing news and I hope she/he stays.
