About to start IVF!
Like the title says.
It’s been such a windy path to get here and never thought we’d be doing IVF but who does!
-Started trying over a year ago
-In Nov 2025, had an early MC
-In December-Jan, sought a fertility clinic to do testing, including genetic screens,
-In Feb, found out labs are normal, except we are carriers of the same genetic mutation! Met with genetic counsellor and researched a ton
-In March, decided best option was IVF & sought opinions from 2 clinics
-In April, we met the genetic labs, picked a clinic
And TODAY, the start of MAY, we are starting the probe creation aspect of the process with the genetics lab (For PGTM). That means, it has officially begun!
To be clear, no stims until the probe is built.
I feel a mixture of excited, anxious, nervous, grateful, frustrated, hopeful, terrified, all of the above.
Advice and good vibes welcome!
