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

[scerena]

Hey I paid for-
£750 for ICSI that is it as far as I remember, drugs are free to egg sharers so is standard IVF and blastocyst transfer at lister
You shouldn't have to pay for any drugs as far as I'm aware, unless it's something that's going to be used that isn't in normal standard IVF? I'm baffled...

They're a very good clinic and really do know their stuff!

to everyone else I will catch up real soon so busy lately!!!

plex how's things going for you???

4magpies I'm getting so excited for you that you get to hold your baby real soon!!!

charlie how are you feeling Hun?

I'm fine thanks Scerena, 7 weeks to go until due date, it's sneaking ever closer.
Hope everyone else is doing well x

Hi Scerena,

Thank you so much for replying it really is nice to hear that Lister are a good clinic as they are who I am going with.

I called again and spoke with someone else and clearly the person I originally spoke with had no idea what they were talking about as you are correct I pay for ICSI and HFEA thats it. I received my paperwork and have completed it so ready to send it back. All I need to do now is wait until 1st July to have blood test and scan. I just hope I am eligible for egg sharing otherwise I will never be able to afford IVF without it

Again thanks for your reply x

 

[charlie00134]

Plex, how did your appointment go? Well I hope x

Hi

Just found this thread! We just sent off our forms and questionairres so waiting to here back now to see if we can go onto the bloods/scan stage. Also impatient! X

Thanks Charlie appointment went ok(ish) Im still waiting to ov cd 26 now and pretty fed up with the whole thing

Ive now been diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis and antiphospholipid syndrome (was told to google it by consultant and wish i hadnt!!) my list of problems just keep getting longer and LONGER!! I really wont be surprised if i do have high NK cells too. Also ive discovered that the clinic will be closed for starting treatments from the 2nd June till 27th June, so theres another month gone. ...

Not much i can do really, mores the pity. I now have my list of meds though -

Menopur 300iu
cetrotide 250
lubion
and a couple of others lol

actually, just thinking about it ive not been given a script for a trigger shot yet....damn - never thought about it at the time

So its really now just a game of waiting, ive emailed the implantation clinic (who do the nk cell test) to ask if i can be prescribed clomid and trigger to help me ov and if it will affect the results at all.

Anyway, sorry for the massively long post!! How have you been getting on hun? Not long left now for you xx

Hope everyone else is doing well? xx

Hi Awesometwo! Hope you hear back from the clinic asap! xx

 

[charlie00134]

At least the more things they diagnose the more things they can treat appropriately I suppose. I hope your journey doesn't drag on too much longer hun You deserve to have this baby so much!

Just over a month to EDD for me, 1/5 engaged and I think I've dropped a little so who knows what may happen from here on in. I'm getting really nervous and excited though

 

[Plex]

Are u all ready for ur lil bubba? Xx

 

[charlie00134]

In terms of having stuff, completely. Mentally, I think I'm about 3 weeks off being ready. I finish work tomorrow, and I want time to get the house tidied up, all the laundry done and the cupboards stocked. Luckily I have about 5 weeks left to my due date so I should get chance.

 

[Plex]

Charlie - Its a strange feeling when you stop work, knowing youre so close to the end too At least youve got everything else sorted and just have a few things left to do. Are you going into hospital to have ur bubba? xx

 

[charlie00134]

I will be doing, personally I know I'll be a lot happier and feel a lot safer in a hospital and ours is really good. Just got to avoid going into labour on the 5th July as Tour De France will make getting to the hospital tricky.

 

[Plex]

I felt safer going into hospital - least there u know there's plenty of midwives, equipment and drs etc.

I would like to have a home birth next time although I'll need antibiotics during labor so don't know if I'd be allowed?

Is ur hospital far away? Xx

 

[charlie00134]

Only about 10 drive or a 30 minute or so walk, aslong as she doesn't come on the 5th July. Then it'll take much much longer as the Tour is closing the road so it'd be heaving back roads or a walk for us.

 

[scerena]

plexsorry Hun one thing after another for you isn't it hope you're ok and this cycle can start ASAP you have been waiting so long you deserve your bfp you really do

charlie not long at all! I thought I'd go overdue but was 10days early so you never know! I hope it's not the 5th July there was no way I would have been able to walk to the hospital during labour the pain is toooo intense!
Hope you're feeling on and bet you're glad to be finished work!

4magpies OMG so close how are you???? Can't wait to hear you've had your LO

 

[Plex]

It all seems to be little bumps on the road to my bfp hopefully we've nearly got the full picture...surely theres not much left that they can test for?? lolol

Had the price through for all my meds and its a staggering £915!!!! Thats WITH shopping around Reallly hope this cycle works!! xx

 

[charlie00134]

My fingers are so tightly crossed for you Plex!!

I think Munchkin is really getting bedded into my pelvis, a week a go she was 1/5th engaged but now she's really pressing on my bowel so I think she may have sunk further.

 

[scerena]

Plex all will be worth it and I am crossing literally everything that this cycle is your cycle

 

[Plex]

Eeeeeek!!!!!! Almost got a positive opk hopefully I'll ov 2moro xxx

 

[BabyRuby11]

Good luck Plex I really hope it all works out for you. It seems you really haven't had an easy run of all of this. Good things come to those who wait and you have waited long enough for sure. Good luck, fingers crossed for you. x
