I’ve been nervous about getting started with IVF. I was all for it last year, and was adamant that we were going to begin treatment in January. Well, January is here, and it has taken my over two weeks to gather my nerves to contact our RE.
I sent the email to him on Saturday, letting him know we were ready to begin. Gave him details of my cycle, and made a joke that we may be pregnant by the time we begin.
I didn’t expect to hear back from my RE until today. But late last night, I got an email back from him. I didn’t open it right away. I was already in bed, and didn’t want to think about what the response would be.
I finally got the courage to open the email today around 11am. It was straightforward. Our RE hoped we would be pregnant as well. He will sit down with our geneticist this week, and create a plan, and I was to contact the clinic when my period begins, hopefully, or maybe I guess unhopefully, in 12 days.
I’m excited but nervous! It’s a bit weird since we first had our consult with our current RE back in September. It feels like it’s been a lifetime!
How did you feel when you first made the call?

I am super nervous because what if this doesn’t work ya know? It kind of feels like this is the last resort in a sense. At least for us it is because this is the final treatment for us. I can totally understand you being nervous.

It’s also our last resort with DH’s sperm. I guess it feels like once we get started, there’s no turning back. If it fails, then we will always have the failure and loss to deal with.

When I made the call to confirm treatment it was terrifying. I did it quickly and left a message so that I couldn’t back out or think more about it. I am hopeful that this is the beginning of the end for us, but equally afraid of another failed attempt. I am working on the strength to remain positive…for every failed attempts there are equal successes. Anything can happen. 🙂

Thank you for sharing! I had drafted half the email to our RE, then closed the computer with out sending. The next day, I quickly finished the email and sent it without reading it again. I knew if I kept staring at it, I might end up deleting instead of sending.
Good luck!! xoxo

I honeslty can’t recall the feeling since it was over a year ago. After trying over and over due to miscarriages it just became the norm. Here’s hoping things go smoothly and u have succes .

I started under perhaps different circumstances, so I was filled with enthusiasm and hope, and empowerment too. It really helped me get through it.

Thank you for sharing. I’m nervous excited. I’m hopeful that it’ll work for us, but at the same time, I’m worried it would fail.

I’m impressed that you could see an email there and not read it for hours. I have terrible self-control. Sending lots of good thoughts for the cycle.

Thank you Mel!! I always stress myself out about important emails. I assume it’s bad news, and if I don’t read it, it won’t happen! LOL
