Hi All,
Firstly, congratulations Nay Nay!!! Hope the hyperstimulation resolves very soon so you can enjoy your good news.
I would love to join you IVF/IUI/ICSI girls on this thread. I am currently down regging for my first cycle of IVF which I am having at Oxford. I have my blood test on 22nd Dec and am due to start Gonal F on Christmas eve!!
We have been ttc for over 2 years now, and were initially told we had unexplained fertility. That was until we went for our first scan for IUI and I was diagnosed with 2 endomertiomas on my right ovary. I never had a lap, just an HSG, so this was not diagnosed before my referral to the JR, which I was pretty frustrated about. When it was diagnosed we were given the option of either having the endo removed and then hopefully conceiving naturally, or going ahead with IVF. I am 37 in Jan and DH will be 39. Neither of us could really face the 'go away and try to get pregnant naturally' approach so we are going for the IVF. If it fails then we may consider Lap and removal at that stage.
I have been having accupuncture since June and DH takes multivit with Zinc every day. All my blood tests were ok and DH SA was borderline so we have been told we may need ICSI. Can they do ICSI if the eggs fail to fertilise with this round or would we have to undergo a fresh cycle for the ICSI. On a form from the FC it says 'suitable for IVF with ICSI backup'.
When I am more awake (its 5am and I can't sleep!!), I will be adding the lovely sparkly 4 leaf clover thingy, and look forward to sharing experiences with all you lovely girlies on this thread
