Possibly starting IVF

Megan • Thu, Feb 21 • Trying for baby #1 💜👶🏻 💙

My husband and I are possibly starting IVF and there is so much running through my mind. D/T abnormalities with my husbands sperm they told us this was our only option. I don’t know what to think, what to expect. My mind is spinning. I’m afraid of the process, the cost, the fact that I’m Catholic and this is my only option. We’ve explored adoption and it is just as if not more expensive. Please if anyone can give me any insight on any of this I would appreciate it. I’m so scared 😟

We are catholic too. My husband was dead set against any intervention for a couple years. Then he found out that his sperm was the issue. And with me getting older, my eggs were becoming an issue as well. We talked and we realized that this was really the only way. How can it be wrong if we are creating life? God loves all children! Scientists were given these gifts to help women, we can use these gifts to bring a child into this world that will b loved beyond compare. He agreed to One try. 7 tries later and we are 8 weeks pregnant LOL.

@Megan My IVF doc says a prayer while rubbing my tummy after he does a transfer. I truly believe he has a gift. He says that god decides who to bless with a child, and he is just the middle man. There are doctors out there that feel the same as you 😊

It is a lot financially, no way to sugar coat that part. But the meds and appointments are only crazy busy for 2-2.5 weeks. The rest is prepping for the cycle to start and then waiting to see if it actually did. Good luck!

Hey girl, im right there in the same boat as you are. Its so scary having this long list of things you have to do everyday and inject into your body and all the procedures, but it will all be worth it in the end! God made fertility specialists to help us to get pregnant, ive heard so many awesome stories of loving couples going through IVF and having a bundle of joy. Just think by May 2019 you could be pregnant! I pray that you feel peace and comfort, and for a miracle baby! You got this girl!

Thank you so much. Your words mean a lot. I guess I really need to think about it that way. Hoping for baby dust for all of us soon. You got this too!

My cousin had been trying with her husband for over 10 years and they had a IVF done. It’s well worth it because they were able to have twins because of it! My family is Catholic also so I understand how you feel. I’m on Clomid trying to conceive and it’s been hard on me. But I’ve heard so many great things about IVF and I will pray for you and your husband. There’s no doubt in my mind that it won’t work!

@Megan Like my doctor says...do you tell your parents, priest, family, etc every time you have sex with your husband? No, because it’s private. Your baby is still your baby, still blessed by above. You just had to take a slightly different route to get there.

Thank you for your kind words. I’m afraid at how my family will react to it. I’m supposed to be meeting with my priest and I hope that he will understand that this is literally our only option due to my husbands sperm abnormality.
