A lovely piece today on the site about the experience of doing IVF from one of our editors. It shows just how difficult and emotional the process can be IVF
When I went to see a fertility expert, he told me I had a low ovarian reserve and said he was amazed I’d even got pregnant in the first place.
I was lucky in that he found a reason I wasn’t getting pregnant. I was diagnosed with raised levels of natural killer cells, a type of white blood cell that fights infection. This basically meant my body would kill off any foreign cells that entered it – including an embryo.I’ve written before about my IVF journey and it’s a gruelling process. Scans, injections, examinations … it’s tough and it’s made harder to when you’re faced with the stark statistics.
I was incredibly fortunate and got pregnant on my first cycle. My son Huxley is now 10 and I recently took him back to the IVF clinic to show him where his journey began. I am very aware I’m one of the lucky ones.I still feel emotional when I think about the years I spent trying to get pregnant. I can't imagine what it was like for Aniston, to face fertility struggles as one of the world's most talked-about celebrity must have been horrendous.
For anyone going through fertility treatment right now, Jennifer’s interview will only help. By talking about IVF and infertility, you know you’re not alone.‘I’ve spent so many years protecting my story about IVF. I’m so protective of these parts because I feel like there’s so little that I get to keep to myself. The [world] creates narratives that aren’t true, so I might as well tell the truth. I feel like I’m coming out of hibernation. I don’t have anything to hide.
