Uncontrollable tears rolled down my cheeks as I read all these stories. Happy for the successes and hopeful for the hopefuls. I have just been told i have blocked tubes and been advised to go for ivf. I have read various stories on other sites and this one is the ace of them all. My hope is now positive and I am going for it with that positivity. Thanks to you all and best of luck to all mothers-to-be.

Hi everyone, i keep reading these sites but this is the 1st time i have written. 1 have 3 daughters 15,14, & 11 who i raised since babies on my own as their birth father did not was a family once he got one. I have been lucky enough to meet Mr Right 2 1/2 years ago who loves my girls as his own and has no birth children. We had a missed miscarriege in March 08 (11wks 4 days) and not managed to get pregnant since so were advised due to my age to try IVF (im 28 he is 31) 1st attempt we go 6 eggs and had a 3dt with 2 8cell grade 3.5 i just found out yesterday i am pregnant, totally shock as i convinced myself i was not, we have been told over the phone we must wait till week 7 for a scan and will not see anyone till then. Im so happy but also quite nervous and not wanting to jump up and down with excitment. I thought that if i do a pregnancy test every few days for a couple of weeks it will reasure me if the line gets darker...has anyone else done this?? or am i just being nurotic? Also if it's twins would the pregnancy tests lines be darker earley on? I am praying like mad and trying to remain positive, will put you all im my prayers to. JJ

I have just finished my first cycle of IVF and am on the dreaded 2ww. We have been trying for a baby for the last 3 yrs but was unable to conceive due to PCOS so the hospt put me on clomid for 6 months which failed to work. Thankfully since starting the IVF treatment everythin has gone as smoothly as possible - dont beleive all the horror stories you hear about IVF as everyone is totally different and i have sailed thru it. Just hope after this 2ww (test on 12.10.09) all our dreams come true and i really hope all yours do too - stay positive xxxxxx

nice to hear so many sucessful stories, been trying for baby for 4 years, have irregular periods but for past 4 mnths been on chlomid and norethisterone tablets which have been making me regular, ivf is such a rollercoster ride and people who dnt go threw this dnt realise how hard an emotionally draining it is, going for my consultation thursday to go threw treatment so hopefully be starting the injections soon, good luck to everyone out there going threw same procedure, think possative and never give up, hope everyone has a happy ending and fingers crossed it wrks for me too

Hi everybody ,How are you all now I am in stage 2 of ivf cycle which is called as ovarin stumulation .During the stimulation cycle, daily hormonal injections are given for a span of 8-12 days to stimulate ovaries to produce an increased number of eggs. Regular follicular monitoring is done by transvaginal ultrasound to assess the ovarian response. When the ovarian follicles reach their maximum size, ovulation is triggered with the injection of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). During the cycle, estrogen and LH hormonal levels may be estimated as per individual requirements to assess the quality of eggs developing. Best of luck and pray for me that everything goes fine TC :)

I am now 22 weeks pregnant after our 4th full IVF attempt, there were also 2 unsuccessful frozen transfers. Our first attempt ended in a MMC. We did our research as there was no apparent reason why treatment was not working, I responded well to the drugs, had a lot of eggs and a majority fertilised and the clinic could not explain this. On the last attempt we asked for steriods and a blastocyst transfer which our clinic agreed to. It was interesting as the embryologist said that the embryo's she would have chosen at day 2 were not the same as those chosen at day 5. We were starting to give up hope but we are now so pleased that we researched the latest developments and asked the right questions. I thought I would share our story for people who are going through what we went through and are starting to lose all hope. Good luck to everyone undergoing treatment.

Hi all. It's so nice to hear success stories. We are starting our first icsi cycle in late August 2009 and I am really nervous as we will only be able to afford this once. I am 34 (nearly 35) and my hubby is 42 (and healed from his third vasectomy reversal which didn't work!!). We've spent so much money trying to have a baby and have now fallen out with my family over it as they have been interferring in a very negative way. I am hoping with everything I have that this works as it is going to cost us a total of £5500 (including the sperm aspiration treatment). I have cried for so many years of my life about having a child and like always, people are falling pregnant all around me. But I refuse to cry anymore! This is my time I hope and I am keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck and love to all.x

Hi , I'm new on this site, read so many of your stories. Its so nice to know I'm not alone in this emotional rollercoaster that we are on. I have a healthy 8 year old son, who I thank god for x but feel incomplete as a family so in the last four years I have naturally become pregnant but have lost all five babies ( one was twins ) years of getting my hopes up to becoming so depressed. We finally went private and they gave us the go ahead for firstly 3x IUI's, all negative and then ICSI was our recent programme, collected 10 eggs, 7 fertilised and replaced 2x 5 day blast. I am happy to say that I am today 6 wks and will have my first scan next tuesday. We can't wait, as much as feeling delighted we are so worried...what if....we've been there so many time before. Trying to stay positive....sending you all lots of baby dust, good-luck to you all....Liz x

Samantha K Sullivan, about 1 year

20th DEC 2008 I am in my first cycle of IVF. Am at the stage of waiting. I had my ET done on the 15th Dec. It's been 5 days. The first 3 days I was bed ridden. I suffered severe bloating and gastritis. I was in tears swearing i would not go through it again. Today, i am well and am anxiously waiting. I have read so many success stories to keep my spirits high. I pray for my happy ending to happen too.

Sam, about 1 year

For 8 years my husband and I tried for a baby. Due to problems with both parties ICSI was our only option. After being unsuccessful with clomid, 3 ICSI cycles and frozen embryo transfer I eventually fell pregnant with the 4th ICSI attempt. I had been pregnant after the 2nd attempt but unfortunately we discovered that the baby had died at the 12wk scan. I also miscarried the twin with the 4th ICSI but in 2007 I delivered a beautiful baby boy. We were so lucky to have a happy ending, which just got better in 2008 as I gave birth to beautiful baby boy which was conceived naturally. IVF and ICSI treatments are a rollercoaster ride with highs of hope and anticipation and extreme lows of disappointment. It is addictive as you believe that just one more go will give you a baby. Choosing this path is not easy and you have to have an idea of when you will stop because it will consume every waking moment. My thoughts are with any one going through this process, and wish them all luck in the world. But choose your clinic carefully as paying privately leaves you open to people giving you false hope. Although nobody wants to hear bad news, false hope can be soul destroying at a time when you are most emotionally vulnerable.

Oh Sarah, your story is the so like as ours. We share your joy. I am 8mths pregnant with twins from 2nd (and always to be the final attempt) on the NHS. I was so convinced the 1st round would succeed; unexplaineded fertlility, really healthy couple, responded well in the treatment - it nearly finished me when it failed. I really did not want to take up the 2nd attempt and did it with my eyes shut - hated every minute, resented it, buried my head in work trhoughout. So convinced it would not work that I refused to go for the final blood test. When we found out it had worked, we sat in the hospital in silence and could only say how did that happen? We had convinced ourselves so much that we were not going to have a positive outcome. Then there were two and we seemed to hold our breath for months, I thought they would disappear, could not say the word 'pregnancy', husband could not talk about it. Then it started to become real and now at 35wks - and feeling so close to holding our babies - we can believe it. My heart goes out to all of you reading this site - we are certainly one of the lucky ones. Kitty - 37 yrs old

Hi Sarah, Huge congrats from me.. what a wonderful news. I'm on my 2nd ivf treament. I had positve test on the 21st of March 08. My eyes could not believe it. I had 12 pregnancy tests all together..:).. I did the first test on the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th day of transfer but they came up negative and I started to get worried. But on the 13th day of transfer, it came up positive.. it was a very faint pink line, I wasnt sure. showed to my hubby and he said " there is definately a line".. and keep doing it till the 18th day of dpt which I suppost to call the clinic to inform them about the result. I still could not believe that my pregnancy test was positive after 7 years of trying.. I did the test again the next day and the day before just to tripple sure..:) I'm now having really bad morning sickness, the worst one was last night as I was woken up by my sickness and needed to throw up.. but I am just greatful that I am pregnant. My 1st scan will be on the 11th April. Hope everything is fine with me and my future baby or babies... I wish you guys good luck on your IVF treatment and lots of baby dust send to you.

i had been trying for a baby for 15 years due to having polycystic ovaries syndrome, i wasn't ovulating and it was heart breaking all the time, i never had periods and i couldn't even think if i was pregnant or not,i had been seen by at a fertility clinic for 15 years finally i was reffered for ivf, i got an appointment really quickly and within months i started the treatment,then came the day for egg collection 9 eggs were collected and the following day 8 were fertilized and 5 days later 1 was put back in,i had to wait 10 days to have the pregnancy test, they were the longest 10 days of my life,i developed the common side effect of ivf which people with polysistic ovaries get which was ovarian hyperstimulation it was a nightmare, i called the ivf unit who said it was a good sign but was worth it at the end i did a pregnancy test and it was positive at the first attempt, i couldn't believe my dream to become a mother had come true by god after 16 years, i had a lovely baby boy weighing 6lb 7oz, and it was free on the NHS.

Mrs Chanda Modi, over 2 years

My first child was born through IVF treatment on NHS. I had been trying for 10 years and done all the test but there was nothing wrong with myself or my husband. I went through exactly like Sarah Leech with the IVF treatment but with me only one survived but I was happy even with one. I started trying for a second baby when my first baby was only 6 months and I fell pregnant without IVF. Today I have two sons age 16 and 17.

donna, over 2 years

Congratulations i am so happy for you, i have just had my third try at ivf and 3 tests say it is positive i dont have a scan until the 9th so i am really worried at the moment it has took 15 years to see a pregnancy test say postitive. i wish you and your partner all the luck in the world.

tracey, over 2 years

My husband and I are due to start ICSI in Feb 08, we are unable to have IVF due to problems with both parties, it is so nice to hear a good story about IVF all people seem to harp on about is the bad things. I am really scared and nervous about having the treatment my main concern is the disappointment should it not work. So far we have only been told what the failure rate is not the success, I really hope the treatment works for KIm
