Getting ready to actually start this process and I admit I am really scared

So I am going to call my RE tomorrow and let him know af finally came to pay me a visit. So I guess this means my quest is about to start to become a reality and I am very scared. It is tough doing this alone and don't know what I would do without this message board. Knowing there are other women out there going through the same thing with the same fears does give me comfort. I don't doubt my decision but it does make me a little sad not having someone to share this with. However, a terrible disease named endometriosis and a little thing called age has forced me to look in my heart and realize I can live the rest of my life without being a wife but I cannot live the rest of my life without my dream of being a mother coming true. I may get married someday but I was told by my RE I am in a now or never situation with having a baby.
So tomorrow I will make my call and will go for my ultrasound to see if I am ovulating. Wow I am as excited as much as I am nervous but I wanted to share this first step with my single mothers to be friends.
Thanks for the support

Good luck!!Some things we end up doing solo but in the end the reward is worth it, I can empathize! good luck:):)
As for the procedure, there's really nothing to fear, it's just like a pap, and is over before you know it.
All the best in achieving your dream.
As far as the actual IUI procedure, I agree with all of you ladies - it is uncomfortable, but not painful...similar to a papsmear.
I wish all of you nothing but the best of luck!
It is so encouraging to read all of your posts. I started this journey back in October and was all excited to start the insemination process only to find out that I had a couple of fibriods and an ovarian cyst. My doctor said that they needed to be removed prior to me starting the insemination process. I had the surgery and that set me back a few months, but I got the green light last week and ordered a vial of sperm tonight for my first insemination next week.
I'm excited, but don't want to get my hopes up too much in case it doesn't take. I just turned 38 and my doctor said that if I want to have kids that I should get moving on it.
Best of luck to all of you!
