Hey chick thanks for thinking of me. Well my lining is now at 6 mm woo hoo. Just 1 mm to go and that's me until they can find me a donor. They've increased the meds and I go back for another scan next week but they think that will be the last one. I had a lovely nurse today she was very reassuring and I feel much happier now thinking that I'm almost there. Hopeful treatment will be this year too as she was saying they had had one or two more donors thru the doors recently. All good news
How are u today ? Very warm isn't it.
Don't have a journal, maybe I should start one up? X

Yes think u should start up a little journal. I started one and to hope that one day i get my bfp and can look back at how far i had to come. its all so i good things for other woman to read thru that are going thru the same thing, i enjoy reading lots of journals on here and its tough me a lot i didn't no . xxx

Ooooooh I hope you get treatment this year too. Hopefully they will give you a clearer idea at your consultation appt. It's all a waiting game. Waiting for initial consult, Walton for test results, waiting for treatment. Just as well we're all so committed to seeing things thru. Having said all that, it's been 8 months since our consult and time has flown, so you'll be up there getting ready for treatment before you know it.

Just had a sneak peek at ur journal. You're right, it's a great way to record the roller
Coaster of the ttc journey. I have also learned loads from the ladies on here. They're amazing!
Sleep well hun, you can get out in the sun tomora x

Good luck for your weigh in. How much are you hoping to lose? I try to exercise as much as poss but haven't done much lately with all this dummy run stuff going On. Will start again next week.
Had a lovely day in the garden today, only went out to get stuff for a BBQ tomoro. Also walked my pooch a few times throughout the day. Wish it would stay hot and sunny but think it's to change a bit next week
Hope you've had a good day.
Treatment next year will come around quicker than you think. Once u get the first appt things will start to move. We've got it all to look forward to, yay!!
Enjoy lazy Sunday xxx

Hi everyone

Kind of just butting in here so will say sorry now!

We are in the extremely fortunate position of having a little boy of 3 years old after NHS funded IVF at Ninewells. We have just had our bloods and counselling appointment today at ACU as will be egg sharing (as a donor). The blood results take a while to come back but as you all likely know, whether private or NHS, this infertility thing is all about waiting!! That's the hardest part when you just want to get going.

I looked at lots of clinics across the country and still chose to self-fund at Ninewells. It's local, I know a lot of the staff from first time round. I think they are amazing although Dr Harrold (my consultant isn't there any more) and I feel like they are more ethical in some way because they are not for profit. I also like the fact that the success rates I was given was for live births (meaning a baby at the end) and not just for pregnancy achieved. Lots of clinics were happy to give me that info and boast about their huge success rates but not so happy when I asked for success rates which included those which didn't result in full term pregnancy. I felt like they were giving me false hope to get their hands on the cash.

All that aside, our counselling session went brilliantly. Have always known I wanted to donate but didn't know Ninewells had started egg sharing. I responded well to meds last time and consultant mentioned egg sharing. Since I always planned on donating it made sense to donate the eggs I can't use this time around too, counsellor has even recruited DH as a sperm donor. Not quite sure why neither of us thought about it before - maybe I just know more about infertility from a female perspective. It never occurred to us there may be a shortage of sperm donors!

Anyway, just want to wish everyone the very best on their journey. Baby dust and fingers crossed for you all.
