I have been trying for a baby for nearly 6 years now and i am still waiting in waiting list for ivf

Question

just wanted to speak to people going through the same sort of situation as me and my husband we have been trying for a baby now for nearly 6 years we were recently placed on the waiting list for ivf but my fertility problem is unexplained its a very stressful time and would be good to get some feed back and advice for people going through similar situation as us and would be really good to hear success stories to xx

Answer 1

Hi, Ive been trying for over 2 years with no luck. I have just been placed on the waiting list last month. It depends on which hospital you are undergoing treatment as to how long you will be on the list. I have been told that the waiting time for me is 3 to 4 months so its not bad.

Don't be stressed (I know its hard) just get excited and be positive. If you are overweight then losing weight (even a bit) will increase your chances of success. Eat healthy, regular exercise and start taking folic acid. Just prepare yourself for a healthy start.  Good luck.  

Answer 2

I have not gone through this myself, but I have many friends who have gone through IVF and guess what they got!

They got not only one precious bundle but TWO!  

Hang in there, mama.  You will have your babies soon now and they'll be beautiful and amazing.  Twins are spectacular and I really hope you get them!

Answer 3

i am not someone who has struggled to conceive but have you not read the papers recently.. if you have unexplained infertility chances are you maybe just need to chill out and not think about it, sometimes stressing about conceiving puts pressure's on you and can make it take a long time for it to happen.. they are saying that natural is just as good as intervention.. something to that effect anyway..

i wish you good luck i do know how frustrating it can be when you have been trying for so long.. take some time out.. good luck

Answer 5

hi there, we also had problems conceiving... have you tried a home artificial insemination kit? my partners sperm count was low and we did this and used the syringe with his sperm and air to push the sperm far into my v****a, left the syringe in place so the sperm wouldnt go the other way and obviously one found its way up through my cervix to the egg.  the kit only cost me £12 from www.insemination-help.com and we have a 9mth old daughter.

unexplained infertility is usually stress related.  as soon as you stop trying you will probably fall pregnant.  have u also tried hypnotherapy?  they can re-programme your thinking that u cant get pregnant to actually get pregnant and it works!!

Answer 6

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear of your 6 year struggle. That is so hard.

As to the waiting list for ivf, is there any way you could try another fertility office, or do you have to wait no matter what?

I have PCOS and tried for 3 years. I know it's not 6, but it's still a long and hard wait. We finally decided to talk to a fertility doctor for intervention about 4 months ago. I got an HSG (fallopian tube flush), went through 3 cycles of clomid, and finally got pregnant after that 3 year wait!!!

The most important things we did was PRAY (the many sincere tearful prayers), stay positive....which can be so hard, but it helps! and try to relax and have fun with each other. Positivity and relaxation can be so challenging, but just de-stress yourself as much as you can. You are learning the ultimate in patience!

There are a lot of great encouraging success stories of just about every method of trying to concieve on this site, even ivf: www.twoweekwait.com  it has helped me through some pretty rough times.

Your time will come. Just think of your babies as being "on their way" to you! Don't give up!

Good Luck and Baby Dust!

Answer 7

My cousin tried for about 5 /6 years and sadly her and her husband broke up, without having a child, then 8 months later she received a letter, telling her they had been accepted onto IVF treatment, one week after that she discovered she was pregnant,naturally!! by her new partner, they now are married with two lovely girls.

I guess stress really can take it's toll, I hope you are successful in the future!
