Worried sick

[hannaah]

Hello, everyone. I hope you people are doing well. It's been a while since I wrote something on here. I have been worried, quite a bit. I have a friend, she's turning 37, soon. She's really worried, these days. She doesn't know who to talk to. So, she came to me. Her problem is that she's suffering from secondary infertility. She hasn't managed to conceive after giving birth to her 10-year-old son. It's been quite a while, actually. I want to help her with it. I have suggested her to get advice from her doctor. However, that has not really helped with much. What would you people suggest? I would love any and every kind of help I could get. Thank you, everyone!

Hi, Hannah. How are you, honey? I hope you and your friend are doing well. I'm so sorry to hear about her troubles. It's really common, actually. I can understand what she must be going through. 37 is a bit old, it could be the age. However, the fact that she has been trying for such a long time, is a problem. Doctors suggest getting a professional opinion after six months. However, I can understand why they didn't get one right away. I think it would be a better idea to visit a clinic. Fertility clinics could be the way to go for her. IVF and IUI could be an option for her. My prayers are with her. I hope things get better for her. Let me know if she needs more help.

That's a really rough situation to be in. It's okay to feel this way, though. The good thing has been that she's really going for it. Anyone else could have given up. I know, age isn't exactly on her side. Most women would have stopped thinking about it. It's good to see her keeping her hopes high. My prayers are with her. I really hope it happens for her. I want to send her my best hopes and luck. Keep us posted on how it goes. If you need any help, just let me know. It's a great idea to visit a fertility clinic, actually. IVF could be a solid option. You're doing the right thing!

Thank you, everyone! This means so much. I showed this to my friend. She absolutely loved the support. I'm really glad all of you contributed so much. She feels quite confident. It would mean a lot if you could share your experiences. If you have any, of course. She came back from the doctor, today, and he thinks IVF could be a good option. She's still considering all her options, of course. However, I think IVF is leading the charts. Let's see how that all turns out to be. Please remember her in your prayers and make sure to wish her the best of luck! She could be starting her journey, soon! Thank you once again!

No problem, Hannah. Feel free to ask anything you want. I'd love to be of help. I know, how she must be feeling. She needs all the support she can get. So, it's not a problem at all. I had a pleasant experience. I underwent IVF, a couple of years ago. I suffer from PCOS, you see. I had a better chance of IVF working out than most. We were disappointed after the first cycle failed. It needed a bit of motivation to get back to it. I'm really glad I had the support of my DH. He convinced me to go for it again. It ended up working out! So, I hope she experiences something similar! Best of luck to her! x

I am sorry to hear about your friend's infertility. I can understand how hard this must be for you and her. I would suggest that she first visit a good RE. She needs to get herself properly diagnosed. At time OBs are not really able to determine the real problem. Therefore, it is soo important you visit a specialist. I am saying this from my own experience. The clinic I am visiting things with them is going really well. The reason for this is a lot of research. I made sure they were experienced and knew what they were doing. We asked others about their experience as well. Researching is really important. If she needs any further help let me know. Good luck to you. I hope things go well.

Secondary infertility can be really hard to go through. I would advise on visiting a clinic that is experienced. Someone who would actually be able to help her out. Search about the various clinic. Look at their success rate. Also, look at their years of experience. I hope everything works out for you.

Oh, no, the poor soul. She must be really sad. I can relate to it. I really can understand how she must feel. It's not her fault, though. It could happen to anyone. I'm glad she isn't giving up. That's one way to approach. It's really important to be there for your friends. Which is why it makes me happy to see that she's in good hands. Thank you for being there for her. It's so important. You're also giving her the right advice. I really think that going to a fertility clinic would be helpful for her. They deal with such things. They can definitely help her out. Best of luck to your friend. Keep us posted on her situation! My prayers are with her.
