Well bloggers, I have been away for a while. Have been so busy at work and making things for the wedding that I haven't had much time to blog. I turned 30 last week too, was relatively painless.
AF turned up on Tuesday so I went for bloods/scan at NHS clinic, and made a consultant appointment. Had to make it for after the honeymoon (so it's on the 7th October, just 2 days after we return). I asked how long I would be waiting, and was told that we would pretty much start after the appointment. At the appointment, they look at my hormone levels and my OH's SA then decide on the best course of treatment. I was also told that the process takes up to 10 weeks- I guess I will be on long protocol then!
In other news, I found out on FB today that a friend of mine who married this time last year has just left work on maternity leave (I had no idea and am thankful for her lack of nauseating pregnancy-related status updates). I felt a bit sick, as the green-eyed monster reared it's ugly head. That means she was only trying for 3 months or so before she got pregnant. She is about the same age as me too. That said, I would never wish IF on her, I just wish I was fertile that's all!
I think the whole IF thing is so difficult because we are in a minority and most of society have no problem getting pregnant at all.
I dread what will happen and how I will feel if the IVF cycle fails. I will try again, but I don't know at what stage I will give up. I have already started thinking about/researching adoption. Is that ridiculous?
