Hello!
I am sorry if this post is in the wrong place or not what I am supposed to be writing about. I am very new to all of this, a little introduction I am 30 I have Endometriosis, PCOS, & PFD. I was told for years that I wouldn't be able to have children so a few months ago I went to a fertility specialist to see what was really going on and all of a sudden I have been launched into this IVF world- and I am anxious, scared and confused about everything.
I feel like I went in for a consultation met with the doctor started a series of tests to be told, today, I have to start medication and begin the entire process. Is this normal to feel this way? I am very anxious and nervous regarding the entire thing, we haven't gone over any side effects to medication- I wasn't walked through anything I was given some papers and a prescription and sent on my way. I have an appointment coming up, well they called it a class to go over everything but it feels so sudden.
I don't know who to talk to about this as a majority of my friends/family have never had to go through this process. I do not know where to turn or what to do or even how to properly articulate what is going on.

Re: New Member- Starting IVF treatments
We typically just do a weekly check in thread to see how things are going with each other. I myself just did our 2nd IUI on Friday but I completely understand your anxiety and nervousness about this process. But that's what we're here for! To support each other through this tough process in the hopes of having a baby 🙂
