Hi

Glad that the doctor was so good and thorough. You go through so much with them that it really helps to like and trust them. It's a bummer having all the "oscopies" but at least you'll have all the information going forward.

I'm sorry to hear what your sister said. Sometimes it's the little things that people say that hurt so bad. She's been pretty good up till now, I'm sure she'd be horrified to know that she'd upset you so.

I remember being at the docs when he referred to us as "infertile" and needing IVF and I was struggling to hold back the tears too. Even though you know the words relate to you, when they're said out loud by someone medical it's like being punched in the stomach.

Keep your chin up. Focus on each small step and time will pass by quicker.

Awww sugar Although I know it's hard i'm glad you're getting the tests done. We're going through all that too right now with the Gyno, got to go back next month for some results from the latest ones.

I know it seems forever, but if you rule all this out now you know that you can move on to IVF without any worries (except the obvious) and these tests might work out something more easier to treat!!

I know I'm telling you what you already know...But I just am glad that the ball is rolling for you...

Sorry that you are feeling so low and the road you have to take to achieve your dreams looks like a long one right now I know how utterly soul destroying infertility is and no, its not fair and it is cruel...But you WILL feel better once you have started having the tests and are getting closer to some answers and ultimately beginning treatment....and that road wil look a hell of a lot shorter and less bumpy! (I promise) I know you are questioning your inner strength, but I KNOW that your desire to have a child will ultimately carry you through this.
I'm not going to lie to you and say this won't be the most emotionally testing thing you will put yourself through in your life to date, but when you do finally have your baby in your arms (It will happen) you will forget the pain you went through to get there.

I really hope that your journey through this whole infertility crap (I can say that because I lived it for 5 years!) is a short one...You are in my thoughts.

I just read through about your appointment, I'm so glad your doctor sounds positive about this. I really really hope everything goes well for you, and there are tons of people here rooting for you and here for you. I can't think of another person more deserving to be a mommy then you hun.

And that article you mentioned about the 'fertile' woman? She sounds like a real you know what!! (I wish I could type what I really think!) - I can't believe the magazine even allowed that to print, some of those comments are absolutely awful.

and to you hun, will be thinkin of you!

Oh sweetie, I am sorry you are having such a hard time. I completly disagree with the woman in the article, it is couples like yourself who deserve the credit.

FJL, have only just gone back through thread and picked up the other bits you'd posted. I'm so so sorry, when i came out of hospital i saw the start of the thread and wanted to post quickly before you went for your appointment.

I'm so sorry you've been feeling down, and the comments from the article and your sister certainly don't help. My sister for years has been asking why i've never had any kids - and now i'm 31 she's very much of the opinon that i'm 'far too old' and it wouldn't be fair on our kids - it makes me so angry. (needless to say we haven't spoken about my current problems)

please don't feel alone, or give up, we're all hear to support and guide where we can,

take care, hopefully speak soon,
