Well at 1.30pm, I received my courtesy call from the hospital about tomorrow's appointment. I can't believe that this is happening. I am finding it rather scary to say the least. I feel relaxed that I am 31yrs old and we have decided to get the ball rolling now so we have a lot of living to do and preparations to make before any child arrives. I am just worrying about what could happen. I would imagine that the doctor will look at my notes and arrange the appropriate medical tests to see if I am even illegible to have IVF. I am scared to think what they may find. What if I am not suitable? This will certainly turn the tables. We will have to think about what our options will be. Even though I have known about my TS for so long, I will find it hard to hear the reality of my reproductive health system. I don't know how healthy I am down there, there are going to be some difficult home truths.
To prepare myself, I have thought of some questions I want to ask.
1) Will I have to take any meds, if so, what are the side effects?
2) How easy will it be to find a matching egg donor?
3) Do we tell our child about how they were conceived?
4) What happens in the procedure?
5) Are there likely to be delivery complications?
I spoke with DH and he seems chilled about it all. He did look a bit uncomfortable when I told him that at some point he will have to give a sperm sample and he may be required to lose weight...bless him..lol xx
Good luck with the blog ("Charlie Wallis" from DM forum), and with your future babies.
