Hi, I'm new to the forum and have just read your post and felt i had to write - i hope you dont mind.
We seem to have been on a simular path, me and husband have been together for 13 years, married for 10years and trying for a baby for 12 years. A few years went by and hubby needed to have tests as london hospital as kept losing a testicle and sometimes twisted, after tests they told him he had low sperm count and slow swimmers! and they could stitch the testicle to stop it twisting and though he decided he didnt want the op and we continued, i had tests and everything was fine, then i had a cyst and was taken into hospital as in so much pain, which then eventually burst, so back to trying and still nothing this time i had a lapaocopsy and was told my tubes weren't good, one pretty much blocked and no telling with the other, so in time was referred to IVF as wanted it to be our eggs and sperm, went through treatment things going fine was told i was responsing really well to treatment and things were looking good, went for egg collection and when i come out they told me they only got 4 eggs! (Why four i'm only 31 what happened to the rest!) So back home and waited for the dreaded phone call the next day only to be told we've lost 2 eggs through the night so only 2 to go back and still got to 48 hours before having them put back so hoping we dont lose them. Back to IVF Clinic to have them transfered, and told there grade 1's you'll do well with them they say and off home we trot waiting 2 weeks to do a test only to find it negitive! As there was no spare eggs top freeze we couldnt even go to plan be. So we got to if we wanted to IVF again it would now be £6,000approx as they would give me stronger drugs. We went away and thought but decided to have a rest and also we dont have the money to do another round of IVF, plus its hard work.
So november and december 07 i come off vitamin tablets, folic acid and drank lots of red wine, beers, takeaways and started to have a laugh and feel happier again about myself and also went a brought a clearblue ovulation monitor which we started using in December 07, and guess what on new years eve we had an unexpected positive test and therefore am 5 weeks gone and keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes fine. My point of writing all of this is dont give up and have a laugh as miracles do happen and we're living proof.
With lots of love, hugs and thoughts with all of you
