I was also meant to ask about short protocol! I forgot! Dam !!!

I've got a feeling they don't offer the short protocol at guys after what Vesper said, and it never seems to be mentioned.

What's your protocol then Kazza - Provera, then BCP for how long, and is that at the same time as sniffers? I just went straight to sniffers on Day21 so am a bit ignorant on provera etc

k x

I only need provera to induce a period because my cycles are not regular so, 8 days provera, then wait for bleed 5 to 7 days after stopping, then 21 days bcp then start sniffs on day 21 when bcp ends 2 weeks then scan to see if ready to down reg, can't wait to get going again!!

Nope, no scan for me probably because i had the Hycosy not too long ago and they saw what they needed from that and no sample for oh as it had been within 6 months of the last one, which he was actually disapointed to hear as he wanted to see if numbers had changed.

Glad your follow up went well, be good if we do cycle close to each other. When did they say you might start? We'll be back on 14th May and AF should arrive around 17th so I'll be calling up then to get started
I have to ring Guy's on Monday to check if the anesatist wants to see me before, they did a lot of bloods when I was there full blood count, my hba1c to check blood sugars are controlled and gawd knows what else but he wanted everything checked which is slightly annoying.

Tinkerbell - sure it must be annoying to have so many tests, but it is better to have that now and then know that everything is going to go fine when they do EC.

Just had a call from Guys trying to push my appointment back to 17th May - i said no way, as we're off on hols end of June and don't think the cycle would have completed by then so we would be waiting til July time to even start. They basically said that docs schedule has changed (probably want more time for easter!!) and so i can't go on the 12th April. I stood my ground and they called me back and i'm now booked in for 23rd april which is fine because still before Day21 so shouldn't delay anything.

so now got an extra 2 weeks to wait, as long as it doesn't delay anything then that's the main thing, just a bit frustating as i had been really looking forward to next week and getting moving. Seems i don't have much luck with Guys and scheduling after the extra 2 weeks on down regging as well last time!

Oh well moan over - guess that's just another frustrating part of this whole process, the bloody waiting

Hi Tinkerbell I will be a bit ahead of you by then but not too far! I can't believe they never offered oh the chance to do another sample!

Key I cannot believe they have put your dates back again!! Very glad you stood your ground!!!

Happy Easter ladies x

How's everyone getting on - hope you're all having a good bank hols.

Serena - hopefully still no symptoms on sniffers, when do you start gonal_f?
Monkeyfeet have you started down reg now?

Have been feeling a bit up & down this weekend thinking about if it doesn't work again. I was so positive the first time but once you've had 1 failure I keep thinking that it easily could not work again.

Sorry don't want to be depressing as I know we're all in the same boat but I seem to be surrounded by friends having their second & third babies and feel that time is running out for me!

Think I just need to get started again so I can get back in that positive place.

Kxx

Think we've all been feeling like that since the failure hun of natural don't be sorry!

Once your starting again you will feel much better there is no reason why it won't work for all of us, it's not a case of won't it's a case of when! I actually feel much more relaxed about this time, well at the moment but I've been up and down too! Just got to keep that head held high! You'll get there! And you did get blastys and some snow babies so there are lots of positives just need get that sticky bean!!!! I no we all will x

Thanks kazza - I think you're right I just want to get started again.

Sure it will be second time lucky for us all - we deserve it!!

Kx
