Hi there, I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble falling pregnant it is one of the hardest things in life you ever have to cope with I know from first hand experience. I am an IVF patient.  I started trying for a baby back in 1996 as I was young I didn't do anything about it for a couple of years.  My first IVF treatment was in March 2001 and I fell pregnant with identical twin boys, they were born far to early for this world at 22 weeks.  That is the hardest thing I have ever had to cope with. Since I've had 3 more fresh cycles and 3 frozen cycles.  On the 3rd frozen cycle I fell pregnant again and now I have a beautiful 21week old baby boy called Thomas he is perfect in every way. I still have frozen embryos in storage so I'm going to try for a little brother or sister. Don't ever stop trying as it is the most amazing thing when your healthy little baby is placed on your stomach and those beautiful little eyes look at you for the very first time.  IVF is a very expensive process so if you live in Sydney there is a public IVF system and costs are about half the price.

Hi there,I don't know too much about ivf.but I do know how tough it is trying for a baby and just wanted to give you my support.There is 20 years between my son and daughter.after losing an ovary and tube and scarring on my remaining tube and lesions on the last ovary we gave up.we did think of ivf however at my age felt that we just couldn't do it.one month after giving up we got pregnant with Breanna.All I can say is have faith and above all don't stress take it  easy relax relax relax.

I have a cousin who tried IVF for a long time without success. She went off it and fell pregnant naturally! I'm not saying this will happen to you, I just want you to know that if IVF fails, do not lose hope! Good luck.
