Looking for an IVF buddy

Ok so bit of history..sorry it is so long feel free to skip through!

So my husband and I have been TTC for over 3 years now, with no success whatsoever. Not a single hope of a positive. We went to our GP last year who referred us straight to our local fertility clinic. Our first appointment was disappointing, the consultant only came in and the end of the appointment, he barely spoke and we were simply told to repeat some investigations and come back in 8 weeks.

We had our second follow up appointment yesterday with the consultant, who was lovely and explained our results to us. He then told us our only option was IVF. I don't know how to feel.

I mean I know this was always a possibility but I didn't think it would be so much so soon, don't get me wrong I'm so grateful that they are not stalling and he is keen to refer us straight away and of course we said yes but I have so many mixed emotions!

I don't know how I should feel, people keep telling me "that's great news! " I know it is really but it doesn't feel great right now.

We have been told there is no waiting list at the moment so we should be seen fairly soon but that was it we where given a leaflet and sent on our way. I feel like I should have asked more questions but I don't know what I should be asking. What's next?

It all feels so daunting but I am staying positive that this is our next big step forward.

Does anyone have any advice or tips?

Any experiences anyone can share?

Thank you all 💕💕
