Fertility appointments

This next part of the story is several years broken down into one post.

I have lost count of the amount of ultrasound scans I have had, each one not showing the results desired and loads of silence from Doctors and Nurses during these scans. I think that is the worst part! The reason for this lasting several years is that my uterus was not big enough, due to my genetic condition, and it was hoped that with the hormone treatment it would grow. This fascinated me but it actually did work! Even if my body wasn’t working fully, that was…..

Each consultation was over the phone, sitting in the living room with anxiety, what time will she call, what will she say? Will we have a baby?

After a few years of this, we got referred for IVF, how exciting, we were finally going to be parents! I was naïve and just assumed that it would work…..

I won’t go into the details of IVF as I now want to focus on childless living, tips, challenges and coping mechanisms in my next posts. I just didn’t want my blog to only be that as I feel it is good to share my story so others can see this.

Whether life for me and my partner will be permanently childless or temporary is not known. However, I am now mid 30’s and unsure how much longer we want this fertility journey to continue.
