IVF process - Alone out here yet not alone
I know I’m not alone out there, that there are so many other women going through the same thing. Yet I feel so alone in my physical space.
I never thought I would be here…. The infertility process. I mean my cycle came every month… I know my age was against me. But I had high hopes… that with my cycle coming every month, I should be ok. It has been a yr now and I am not even IN the IVF process. I’m still in the prep stage as I like to call it. It seems like every time I go to the doc, there is something that needs to be fix.
Today, I was supposed to go get a “ Diagnostic hysteroscopy, Myosure Polypectomy”…. They found bumps on my uterus and have to take it out.
I made a simple mistake of not following the directions correctly. And now my appt needs to be rescheduled.
The one person I thought would understand, my husband… is mad at me because he had to take off work and now there is no more appt.
I don’t even know why I am writing this post. I just wanted to put it out there. Because it feels like I have no to cry to.

I’m sorry you are going through this. I also didn’t understand how hard this process is, do you have any friends who would understand the challenges with infertility? Even if not IVF sometimes it helps to talk to someone in person. I recommend you to start doing acupuncture to at least help with your stress and plus I’ve heard it’s great for improving chances. I’ve been trying to conceive for a while with 1 failed IVF cycle, getting ready for my second and went through many moments where things kept getting delayed, like needing to get the chickenpox vaccine and postponing for a month, and I know first hand how much that sucks because you are eager to keep moving. Hard to practice patience, but so important. With you the best and try to talk to your husband and hear him out too, one thing I’ve learned is that this process ends up being very hard on them too.
I had a good few delays as well, after unexplained diagnosis they finally checked my tubes and both were blocked. Needed laparoscopy and time to recover. It is a long process, definitely made me feel lonely at times. Husbands just react sometimes without thinking, but I bet it’s hard for him as well. Be patient with him and with yourself. Wish you best!
