I think bugs its right it really is a lottery. We got 11 eggs 9 fertilised by day 3 we only had 4 left we had the best 2 out back both grade A 8 cells.On day 5 the other 2 weren't good enough to freeze , luckily one did stick and we got our bfp but what i am trying to say is from 11 we got 1 iyswim. I think you would be forever thinking if someone else has your child. The flip side is that child can come i find you when they are 18 and its not always a good thing. However had i have had a lot of frozen embryos that i wouldn't be using i would have considered donating them to help another couple.

Hello Lovely Ladys

Sorry not posted on here for a while.....things have been a bit manic with starting my down reg injections and going away. Plus had a bit of a low spot when some jerk pinched my bag from my car whilst visiting my daughters grave,more gutted because her pictures that I have carried around since loosing her was in my bag too.Just upsets me that people have the cheek to steal from a cemetry of all places.

I am so sorry to read your losses and very happy to see some BFP...

I am currently on day 10 of down reg injections,my tummy looks like a bruised pin cussion,but OH has done a fab job of injecting me so far.....I dont thinking having injections is gonna be something I ever get use too.

As for my weight,I am back on a strict low carb diet to keep my BMI below 30.Went to Greece for a week and gained a stone.....I was gutted as I get so scared as the hospital can stop my treatment at any point if I go over a BMI of 30.

I dont seem to be experiencing any side effects at all from the injections,which worrys me as I am concerned if they are even having any effect.

I have to go for my baseline scan next week 17th Aug,very nervous about that.

What I would say is my mood swings have got better since starting down regging,we actually expected them to get worse. I dont know if its because the stress of trying to get IVF has gone away somewhat because I have started treatment.....

Hope your all as well as can be

hugs and baby dust all your way

Nat, i am sorry you got your bag and pictures stolen. Some terrible people about!
You will always have your memories and nobody can take those hun xx
Glad u are finding the down regging ok. That is the part i take issue with really.
I think it seems extreme to put our bodies through effectively the "menopause" for a few wks but i guess if it works and jolts our ovaries into producing tons of eggs later on, its worth it :-) I am not looking forward to the needles but like us all, im just gonna grin and bear it. lol. Wishing u all the best. xxx

Hi Hun

Thanks

I know its so random putting us into menopaus,I understand to a degrea why but it contradicts nature for me ,but then again many would argue IVF is playing with nature......but who cares if it gives us babys....I see it has natures helping hand

How is the weight loss going hun,did I read ya BMI is 34 now.....nearly there hun

Its such a nightmare trying to loose weight during this hell of loss and fertility issues.I am back on low carb dieting as its the only thing that works and works quick......what are you on diet wise?
I am meant to be gyming it too but just cant be bothered as OH has lost all motivation and I hate going to the gym on my own....must carry it on though as I am approaching the 30BMI since my holiday arghhhh

Hope your well and I hope your Dr gets you on the IVF waiting list asap

hugs

I just posted this -

The Liverpool Women's X-Ray department phone number?
I have 0151 702 4453 but ALWAYS get the answering machine!

I need to find out if I can have a HSG since I had my MC nearly two months ago, I just rang my FS secetary for the FIFTH time since she was meant to check (TWO MONTHS AGO AFTER THE MC!!) and she directed me to someone's answering machine!!! That woman is such a b*tch!!!!

I'm gona see if I can get hold of them myself and sort it out if not I might have to physically gp to the hospital to sort it out
Last time she told me that if I can't have the HSG then I have to cancell my appointment on the 31st. . . .
I don't know if it's been cancelled or not

Sorry about the rant!!

Hiya hun :-)
Yes i agree with u that it's soooo hard to stick to a diet when u are feeling as sad as we are, but if it gets us our babies, it is all worth everything :-)
Yep my bmi is 34 now and i worked out i need to lose a further 2.5 stone to get it under 30, so still a way to go but im confident i will have done that by Christmas and then we can hopefully have the IVF in may/June 2011 I am so scared if it dosent work with the 2 free go's as we would be hard pressed to afford a cycle ourselves next yr... just have to hope and pray it works for us. I am doing slimming world and its working great for me. I do the extra easy plan and can still have treats etc so im hoping to be around 11 stones when we come to start our 1st cycle.
It is taking serious wilpower tho! How are u feeling?

xxx

I'm trying not to get to excited at the moment coz I've been bleeding since Monday not heavy but enough to be shitting myself !!! The womens won't do bloods so the 2 week wait now turns into a 3 week wait till the 11th August for my scan.

Anyways as for the acupuncture I go and see a woman called Jackie Fairweather in West Kirkby, I started having one session every 2 weeks about 4 months before starting treatment (this is my 1st cycle) and I then went once a week during treatment. I don't know if the acupuncture itself makes a difference but I do feel very relaxed and i've actually never felt healthier. Jackie concentrates on the other area's of your life emotional and physical so it does feel like an hour long counselling session, Jackie has been amazing throughout my treatment if I have any questions she's always on hand to answer then and is an incredible support so if you can find a good therapist (you can google Jackie) I would say go for it nothing ventured nothing gained and all that.

One other bit of advice I would advise anyone to wait until the proper test date before POAS because I tested 2 days early and then because I was bleeding spent the next 2 days so confused and convincing myself it was a chemical pregnancy and it was 2 days of drama I just did not need to put myself through !!!!
Hi Hun

How are you going? Well I hoope. I tried to call Jackie but she is proving hard to get hold of lol...do you know if she is on holiday as her mobile is ringing in a foreign ring. Decided def wanna give acupunture a go...where do they pop the pins?
Still down regging at the mo but back at Liverpool on 17th for my baseline scan.....not sure when I'll go back after that. I was reading on another thread that when they were on stimms they went back every other day, did you withliverpool?

Sorry for all the questions Hun and hope your feeling better

Hugs
Nat x
