IVF

'IVF is hard. Emotionally and physically. It takes over your life and its difficult to think about anything else at times. For us it was our only route to our own family. This adds SOOO much pressure. Take a break, do something different. Easy to say !!! IVF is such an inconvenience, having to work round their schedules and timetables. Its difficult not to feel like car on a production line. Then there the success or not. I felt physically sick beforehand.

We would urge anyone considering or going through IVF to get as much help and support as they can. Make sure its right for you. Make sure you're prepared, as best you can. Get help whether you think you need it or not. You do.

Having someone to speak to, separate from everything but having been through it, helps. Everyone wants to have the best possible chance at IVF and stressing yourself out doesn't help your chances. IVF shouldn't scar you emotionally but it can do.

Very best wishes for anyone doing IVF. Its an amazing and incredible thing to do that can make your dreams come true but you need to be prepared for the journey if it doesn't work.'
