Hi all, I'm new here.
Here's my story: my ex partner and I TTC for 13 months without success. He has a kid from a previous marriage. He refused to see a Dr and we finally broke up over it. That left me 37, single and desperate for a baby. Now I'm 40 yo. Together with dh we decided we want a baby. It was high time to begin looking at ivf treatments. Tests showed nothing but a low amh (10.8). So apart from being old (40), and fat (!) there's no explanation.
I'm finally due to start injections as soon as my period starts. It's due in a day but I've got no sign. Most eagerly anticipated period ever! I'm so over waiting. It's taken 10 months from seeing my GP to get to this point. And now I feel like my period will never start. I'm a little beside myself.
I'm guessing it's not a great sign that I'm freaking before I even start.. Those needles are longer than I expected. I also know this is a long journey so I'm keen to hear from any experienced ivf-ers with any tips, tricks or advice on how to cope. Especially how you cope with waiting?
We're quite far from home, family and friends – this makes things even harder..
