4 Leaf Clover IVF / ICSI Buddies

My clinic is private but small but they close at 5 and do not work weekends which i think is rubbish for a private clinic. I start work at 7am and finish at 4:30 so its a real pain but as I say my boss will have to just lump it!

And if he gets funny tell him to check out your legal rights to time off during IVF.........he may have a shock

Hi Brambletess

Glad you're feeling a bit more like yourself now that you are stimming. I didn't have any real side effects from any of my drugs - certainly no increase in thirst - all I felt was extremely bloated from approx day 5 of stims, but once I got through EC I was fine. It's not long to go now until your big day ... Good luck

Noddysgirl ... I think I might be starting down regging at the same time as you. It is dependant on my October AF being on time, but I reckon should be here on 3rd October - fingers crossed anyway.

 

[Mrs G]

Hey girls, so much going on, soooo exciting!!

Brambletess, I'm about a fortnight behind you I reckon. Should be starting stimming on Friday. Have you get ec/et date yet?

not long Mrs G xx
Maz best of luck
best of luck everyone else

well only 12 more sleeps till testing, unless AF shows. just injected (pk+5) i think i dug the needle in a bit far blood came out, 0uch, and i've a white lump now. this is my 4th month injecting so you would think i would be an expert at it.
got sperm pot from clinic today. does anyone know about the "seminal fluid collection device". it's like a condom that my H wears and we have sex then he basically empties all his sperm out of the "condom" (not really a condom but only way to describe it), then tries to pour it all into the collection chamber. the clinic want it within an hour!!! umm, we live about an hour and a half away from the clinic, it says to keep it warm and keep it in your pocket!!!
does anyone know how important is the time, i'm thinking of maybe dtd one morning next week and then driving to the clinic and they might have it within 2-3 hours.or else i could post it but that would be nearly 24 hours, DILEMMA!!!!!

does anyone know if with the IUI can you request to do that or does your consultant have to recommend it,cos i was told that 6 months after my last op was my best shot of getting pregnant before all the scar tissue and endo came back, plus only one ovary and tube!!! will the consultant think i'm jumping the gun seeing as only ttc for 18 months and on fertility treatment for 4 months. i'm sure some of you have been ttc for longer than 18 and are probably screaming at the computer saying 18 months is nothing.but your advice on this would be really appreciated. thanks in advance.x

Ladies!

I have been away for work for a few days without internet access.

In the mean time - I have had a miracle. I have my !!!!

How?What? When?Where? I hear you ask - I've just posted it all in my journal. It's 10.30 pm and I've just flown in - so a bit tired and didn't want to re-write it all - so for those that are interested in the crazy journey over the last few days to my - check out my journal:

Krissi - hope your appt went well.

Blue - I think Good health in general is more important than a specific BMI number. You can be uber fit and muscly and have a high BMI because of your muscle mass. So I think overall holistic good health is the way to go.

Maz - sounds like your appointment went well.

Brambletess- sounds like it's all good for you too!

Lioness - welcome to the club hun! I know this wasn't the way you wanted things to go - but it is a way forward and one step closer to your

Thanks to everyone for your kind words and support over the last few days during my 'faux' . All I can say is curses to POAS tests!!!

My little widget has stuck!!! And whilst I'm still in shock I'm also on

 

[Brambletess]

OMG CUPCAKE!!! thats amazing news, I actually cried when i read your post. How wonderful and you so deserve it. I so hope i end up with the same result.

Mrs G - I nearly have an ec date now, hopefully next Monday or Tuesady. I have a scan on Friday again and this will confirm when. I had my day 8 scan today and have 15 follies, with some as large as 16mm so very happy with that. Its suddenly all moving so fast. So glad you will be stimming Friday, you will feel much better on stimms - I did anyway. My PMA is back again yay!!

Thanks maz, Chocci I had excat same type of thirst, so drinking loads now.

Everyone else not mentionned, hope you are doing ok.

 

[Cupcake Queen]

Brambletess - you will hun!! 15 follies!! That's great and good size too. One of those little blighters is your - I just know it!
