SCARED ABOUT FIRST TIME IVF/ICSI

by Bunty1980 on Jan 10, 2010

Hello .I'm looking to hear from others treated at Bourn Hall, I want to know what it is like to have IVF and or ICSI. My treatment begins in February this year.I would also like to hear about success stories from people in the same situation as us. I often feel like I am the only person going through this but but after reading the notice board I feel alot more positive. I am one of the lucky girls who has no problems medically, the reason we can't conceive is due to the fact my partner has a low sperm count.

I feel so much anger at times,I finally meet the right man who I adore,who would be the perfect father and this happens! I panic so much about the fact we may never have a family and I am sick of people telling me it will be fine and to stay positive. No one is physic and I have no friends going through this. I have alot of support from my partner,my family and friends but I am also feeling very low. My sister and her husband had the same problem a few years ago, they tried IVF twice and both times it failed and then they broke up. I panic the same thing will happen to me , we won't break up,I just worry it will always fail. Just because I have no medical condition preventing me from getting pregnant or carrying a baby does not mean I am guaranteed it will work.

Sorry for going on. Thank you and good luck to all.
