Trouble TTC

Dr Appt - Follow up from bad HSG

Well, I cried my eyes out pretty much all of last night and this morning. We met with my doctor today and she said our only option is IVF. She has referred us to an RE (and we already set up an appointment), but she is so great and caring, that I am glad we met with her today.

So, I am coming to terms with this and actually feel much better now that we have an answer. At some points, I still keep thinking "Is this a dream?!?".

So - I have researched a lot about fertility, but not too much in the area of IVF. I am going to need a lot of support from you ladies! I am sure I am forgetting some stuff, but wanted to at least get an update out there - thank you so much for all of your kind words, thoughts, and prayers yesterday.

Re: Dr Appt - Follow up from bad HSG

  • You will get a lot of support here. I know when I heard I had to do IVF, it was a bit of a shock and I had a bunch of different feelings but in the long run, I was just happy to have a plan and that there is still hope.  ((big hugs)).  Good luck with your RE.

    I remember how difficult it was when we were told we would be unable to get pregnant without IVF. I know exactly what you mean when you say "is this a dream" I still sometimes think that. All I can say is that it does get easier and any time I start to get down about having to do IVF I try to remember that I'm so lucky to have the science & technology available to us and that DH & I have the means to pursue IVF. There is hope & someday I know that all of us who want to be mothers will be and this rocky path that gets us there will just make us that much better at being moms.

    Good luck to you!

  • Good luck - there are definitely lots of info and support in regards to IVF.   On the bright side - good thing you had the HSG and didn't waste any more time TTC and wondering why you weren't getting pregnant.

  • Thanks for all of your sweet words, ladies. I am sure once we meet with the RE next Friday, I will have many more questions!

    I am feeling better about our diagnosis (guess I dont have much of a choice) - I haven't cried yet today! :)
