This was a blog of my thoughts and feelings as I was trying for a baby. I have endometriosis as well as a few other medical conditions so TTC was a battle. I was on the TTC journey for 4 years and had 3 failed IVFs and 3 failed FETs. The next step was adoption! I am now a mum to a beautiful 3 year old girl call M and feel so lucky!

Egg retrieval
Just back from my egg retrieval. Am in a lot of pain but worth it as got 16 eggs!
I know nothing about the process you are going through, and am grateful for that, trust me! But It seems that you and everyone else is thrilled at 16 eggs and it sure does seem like a lot to me too, so woot hoot!!
I really do hope that this is "it" for you. Fingers and toes are crossed~
I am 28, have grade IV endometriosis, hypothyroidism and desperately want a baby. I suppressed my ovaries for 6 months and had a third laparoscopy. I had my first IVF cycle July 2010 and we transferred two embryo's. Sadly it ended in a BFN. I did a FET with two 5 days blastocysts in September and that was also a BFN. I did a second fresh IVF in January which was also a BFN. We did a second FET with 2 5 day blastocysts. Also a BFFN. Last go on the NHS :( Immunes show I have high NK cells. IVF #3 with intralipids was also a BFN. FET#3 will be with intralipids and steriods and baseline was booked for 24th April. This was also a BFN. One embryo left in freezer - last ever FET will be FET #4 - embryo did not survive the thaw. Moving on to adoption.
I desperately want a baby and a family, but for now we have 2 rescue fur babies!
