Anyone starting to set up the process of EGG SHARING? If so come join me 8 BFP's

[Emilychar]

Reading through your posts are so touching and inspirational!
I am just beginning my egg sharing journey, I have received my AMH levels -38 and have initial consultation and sa.
Out of interest did any of you use salisbury hospital? Or heard of its reputation?
I hope and pray I have the same outcome as you.

Emily - your amh is pretty close to mine (40). Good luck with your treatment. I used a Manchester clinic.

I caved and booked a private scan lol, I'm weak.

Emily it's all exciting starting up the process brilliant amh I haven't used Salisbury hospital but I did look up their egg sharing scheme... I used lister... You can always ask the clinic for a copy of their success rates. Sending you tons of luck for your cycle

charlie you're not weak! It's hard to wait to find out after all we have been through to get where we are!!!
When's your scan date???

 

[charlie00134]

16th Jan I see my consultant in the morning, the go home and book a holiday then drive and find out the gender, I'm completely giddy!

 

[scerena]

Eeeeeeek not long at all!!! Any feelings as to what gender your baby is????

 

[charlie00134]

I keep thinking of them as a she or rather by the name I like but honestly I think that's just because my step-daughter wants a girl so much.

[scerena]

plex how exciting cannot wait to follow this cycle of yours when are you roughly expecting af???

 

[Emilychar]

Thank you, I'm excited seeing all of you get your BFPs!!!!
Can I ask how long the process from urial consultation to treatment was for you? At the moment I have no timescale so am interested in how long it takes, I have no idea!!!!
I am determined 2014 will be a good year as lost a twin pregnancy last July and a ruptured ectopic in November
It can only get better hey!

Scerena - Im hoping to get af in about 4 days fxd! Cant wait to start again,feels like its been ages! Gosh ur just a couple of days away from ready to drop any day week!!! any nerves kicking in yet? xx

Emily - Sorry to hear about ur losses hun I can only give you a rough idea of timescales =

I was already taking clomid 150mg (did that for 12months) I was hoping that that would work but hey ho My consultant had told me that when i wanted to go ahead with the egg share to get my chromosone tests done.

Jan 15th 2013 - chromosone test. Results came back - March 22nd

22nd April - Consultation re confirming egg sharing

30th April - Bloods(inc cystic fybrosis)/swabs +scan

21st May - Cystic fybrosis results back

7th June - 1st of 2 compulsory counselling sessions

9th July - 2nd counselling session (at the time i was 17th on the waiting list!!!)

1st August - possible match!!!!

8th August - Nursing info session + paper work and consent forms

1st September - Start northisterone

14th September - start buserelin injections

7th October - baseline scan

8th October - start menopur injections

scans - 15th October, 18th October, 21st October

21st October - trigger

23rd October - egg collection. I donated all the eggs so now this cycles free, well almost lolol

I will add that the process may have been longer but i hounded them for cancellations, literally like EVERYDAY. At least thats what it felt like xx

[xMissxZoiex]

[Plex]

Dont blame u - 7 weeks is a bloody long wait!! Do u have any ideas as to girl or boy? Im thinking girl xx

 

[charlie00134]

Emily - I first inquired around July time and got my BFP late October. It's the genetic testing which takes the longest.

 

[scerena]

plex COME ON AF!!! Can't wait for you to start!!! I bet it feels forever for you I'm crossing everything for you that 2014 is your year you deserve it
Yes VERY nervous I'd be lying if I said I wasn't :/ it's crazy to think in 3 days baby is full term! Can't wait to see her little face I've waited so long to have my own baby and now the time has finally come... Feels surreal sometimes I scare myself that something can still go wrong I'm jus praying I have a healthy baby at the end if it all

Zoie awwww just look at your gorgeous little baby lovely scan picture Hun bet you can't wait fir 3 weeks time to see your baby again and find out the gender so exciting!!!

Emily my process was long due to switching clinics but when I swapped I enquired end of February and got my bfp end of May- would have been earlier but my cycle went on a bit longer than expected due to high levels of estrogen during cycle which I had to hang on a bit longer for EC
Most places aren't too long, but depends on what recipients they have to match you with waiting on their list and if the recipient accepts you... Then they've got to match your cycles etc My first clinic had no matches for me but the second clinic where I done the IVF did

 

[Emilychar]

Thank you so much for your response ladies, I appreciate you sharing with me as it must seem like a distant memory now. It is so amazing to see you baby scans and know it is a result of egg sharing.
Salisbury hospital seemed to say the biggest criteria is amh and the criteria on the website. Is genetic testing to match you or screen you?

I really think it's a girl! Ever since the 11 week scan I've been convinced it's a girl. Everyone online I've shown my pictures to have said Girl no one has said boy yet lol. DH still thinks it's a boy.

plex COME ON AF!!! Can't wait for you to start!!! I bet it feels forever for you I'm crossing everything for you that 2014 is your year you deserve it

3 weeks still feels like a long time to see my baby again but it will come round fast I know I'm so excited to find out and start shopping! Xx

 

[scerena]

zoie shopping is the best part- you can't help yourself and will end up with tons of clothes I bet!- I certainly have!!!

3 weeks will be right near my due date!!!

I wonder if baby is a girl.... Eeeeek exciting!!!

Emily yes you will need genetic testing and some results can take up to 6 weeks to come back- have you an appt for that yet??? It's to screen and match you. The amh gives them an idea as to wether you will produce enough eggs and with yours you for sure have the potential too
Fx'd things go quickly from here for you

 

[Emilychar]

How exciting that you are all nearing your due dates/gender scans!
2014 is bitter sweet for me as u was pregnant with twins that I miscarried that were due 24th fen and had an ectopic pregnancy in November that was due July. So I'm hoping the timing will fall in between the two dates so that there is some happiness this year for me and DH.
All I've had so far is my amh levels and FSH levels tested. We have an app with the consultant on Monday 20tg for DH's SA, pelvic ultrasound and initial consultation. I expect they will take bloods then for genetic testing. I don't ovulate by myself at all so cycles range from 46-90 days! Hoping we don't have to wait until the start of a cycle! They said my chances are good as I respond well to drugs and my eggs are good quality, the problem we have now is DH has 2% morphology and I have one tube on the side I have never ovulated from. Also going through the infertility journey I really want to help someone worse off than me.
Did any of you find out if your recipients were successful?
