Thanks, that's actually a really good image to hold onto. Feels a long way away, but thanks.

T2D.

I really really can not even begin to comprehend what you are saying, and I won't insult you by trying to empathize with how you feel. But please please understand that I will be wishing the very best for you and your family.

Take care and I hope you feel strong enough to keep in touch.

Genuine best wishes,

Hi everyone - been a while!

T2D - so sorry things have taken this turn. Hope the IVF at least goes well, so there's still hope there, before the treatment kicks off. Good luck with all of it.

Congratulations Winky and Derby!

Derby - you, and people like you, are the reason I still have a small sense of hope that my poor old eggs might yet get there!

You would not believe how often I have googled 'can I still get pg naturally aged 39 with lew AMH?'

Anecdotally, it seems there is a chance.

The only thing I can control is diet at the moment. I have cut booze right out, and upped the health factor in the food I eat. Even been downing wheatgrass shots (vile, vile, vile) and I am taking high dose of DHEA.

Still not pg though!

Good luck everyone, with whatever you're faced with.

T2D I am so dreadfully sorry and can only imagine how frightening and bewildering this all is.

I'm sure you will be given the very best treatment available, and it is great that you are getting to freeze some eggs for future use.

As you know, I had some quite severe cells found in my cervix a couple of years back and had a colposcopy and LLETZ treatment. Mine was bordering CIN2/3.

It was a scary time, and I still have to go for regular check ups, but the treatment I have had has been marvellous, and I do have great faith in the NHS.

I'd love to follow your blog should you decide to write one, and will be lurking for any news.

Take care of yourself my dear x

I must admit, I have abandoned the NHS early on! They took ages to book the colposcopy, so as I'm lucky enough to have private health with work I am taking that option.

I'm at a posh place in Chelsea, so at least hospital visits feel a little like visiting a hotel*! I'll take the silver linings where I find them.

* well, until the general... and the drugs... although they can be good too!

Hoping this gives you an extra level/sense of control through your treatment. It would, I think, by my preference to go private at a time like this too. Will everything you may need be covered?

Thanks for writing it all out. I didn't want to ask specific questions as I thought you might be better saying what you were ready to, and I too would be interested to read any blog you may write.

Prayers for you both.

Lets hope.

Sorry to be so melodramatic, even having written it down is already helping. There are worse things, but I think the whole emotional journey of TTC has amplified all the emotions. I haven't really thought what cancer (wow... still so strange to write) means, more that it means the end of TTC.

Onwards we go. I'm a bright and optimistic person - so I have to believe it will work out, and that I'll make the right choices. Thank you all. It means really a lot.

be thinking of you T2D, take good care of yourself, I'd be following your blog too. there's just nothing I can think of to say to make it better even though I really want to
love to you and your DH x

T2D - thank you for sharing, you are in my thoughts and glad that you are getting a chance for ivf to freeze your eggs. Hope that the scans on 31st show the best possible outcome for you.
