IVF - private clinic

Hi ladies,

After two years of TTC, not a single BFP, and two failed IUIs, DH and I are due to start IVF. In fact we were due to start on Tuesday this week, but at my baseline scan, they identified a cyst on my right ovary and now my IVF cycle has been delayed by a month.

I'm really upset because this was the perfect month for us and everything was lined up and now we need to wait again.

Both DH and I are in our early 30s. I am so scared that my eggs are not of good quality or that I don't have enough eggs or that things won't work out. I try not to think about it and focus on other things but I'm starting to get increasingly anxious about the 'what if's'.

The doctors have diagnosed me with high Prolactin levels (which have now normalised due to my medication) and polycystic ovaries and DH has just under normal sperm count. We are both normal weight and don't have any other health issues.

I don't even know why I'm writing here but I guess if anyone reads these and has positive experiences or success stories to share, that would be so helpful! Is anyone else struggling with infertility? How are you managing? X

Hi - I am 36 and have been trying for 4 years to conceive. I also have a cyst on one of my ovaries and am a poor responder, have low amh, low ovarian reserve, endometriosis and adenomysis.
I had a failed cycle on the nhs last year with no eggs collected.
I then went private and did a 3 cycle package to see if I could bank eggs.
First cycle was expecting 4 eggs and they collected 6 - ended with 1 day 3 embryo and 1 day 5 blast.
Cycle 2 3 eggs collected and got 1 day 3 embryo from that
Cycle 3 I only had 1 follicle that was big enough for all of my scans until the last moment and got 2 eggs one day 3 which was transferred fresh and 1 day 5 blast in the freezer.
Unbelievably the fresh one has stuck and received the call last week to say I'm pregnant!
Keep the faith as i was given a 10% chance of success with my clinic.
Wishing you all the luck in the world!
