I'm so scared IVF won't work

[Blubelll]

I have a nurses call today to talk me through the FHS injections. This will be our first round of Ivf, using donor sperm as my partner has azoospermia.

I am so anxious. It took so long to get here because of so many NHS errors which we have complained about. But now it's just around the corner I'm both excited and scared. I'm already struggling with anxiety and depression partly down to this process so far but also through starting a new job recently. All I can think of is what if this doesn't work?

I worry so much about money and potentially having to go private. I know there are finance options like Access Fertility but I have an AMH level of only 4 so I'm so scared we wouldn't be accepted.

How am I supposed to cope with this level of worry? I'm so scared it won't work.

Sorry you are feeling like this! All your worries are completely understandable, it's the most daunting process ever. Speak to your clinic as most clinics provide counseling, I'm sure they've had lots of people experiencing the same worries as you so they could help! Sending love it's a rollercoaster x

Hi @Blubelll, I've just had my first FET, we're also using donor sperm due to azoospermia.

I think your worries are very valid. After waiting so long it can feel really overwhelming finally starting IVF. I drove myself crazy worrying about things that might/might not happen further down the line. I've learnt that you have to take it one stage at a time. So my advice would be for now, try to focus on preparing yourself for stims and getting yourself in the best physical/mental shape you can.

If you're like me, as soon as we started stims I felt much better as I was in control again. It's the waiting & everything being out of my control that gets me really stressed.

Yes IVF doesn't work for some people, but for a lot of people it does. I always try to remember that x
