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

[scerena]

Ahhhh no way!!!! That sucks at least with the IUI you have a chance as his will be there

I haven't got the results on me, I know his motility was Normal and his count last time was 71mil...
Before his count use to be low we had- (0.5mil, 28mil, 15mil, 34mil, 41mil) so from 0.5mil up to 71mil the fs was verrrrry impressed
I know if my cycles were fine we probs would of had a baby as he has two kids :/

And I hope something happens for us all soon

Sorry this isnt a long post, I hope u are all well?
Af has got me at last....it took long enough lol So looks like i'll b starting my 8th round of clomid 2moro. Still no results re my chromosome tests but im not in too much of a hurry if im honest, life is pretty stressful for me at the moment.

Im just going to stay lurking in the background for a bit if u dont mind? Think I need a day or two to wallow in my self pity

to u all xxxx

 

[scerena]

plex aw I am so sorry af got you it's always hard if you are expecting af or not have a good cry that's what I usually do when I get af

I really hope this 8th round will be your lucky round!!!

When did you get your chromosome test done again???

Well I enquired about egg sharing at-
The bridge centre London...

Last night I sent them an emil, they replied this morning and now I have had the egg share manager on the phone to me

Basically, like lister- one consultation and counselling same day and that's it
I told her I have my results and I have to email them over to her which I will do tonight off my mums laptop as I can't off the iPad
I told her I need recent LH FSH etc doing on my next period and she was cool with that also as I've had the main ones done that take ages to come back

She asked my characteristics- I told her-
Half Jamaican/ half English but very light skinned
Green eyes
Brown curly hair
Weight and height etc

Her reply was "how beautiful" bless her
She said she has mixed race recipients waiting and would want to get me started very soon, asked if I was ok with the pill etc...

She was talking things like- you will probably be on a short protocol with PCOS and that she is going to have a look at matching me with people....

So I'm thinking maybe going to the lister and the bridge centre and seeing which one can get me matched and started first??? What do you think ladies??? As I'm not using them for anything as all my blood work has been done previous to appointments with them...

 

[bettybee1]

Yep I think that's the best thing too do hunnie I would do the same if I had a lot of clinics too choose from !!!

I will defo be doing the egg sharing at care Sheffield if I have too do it not Darlington they are not that good I don't think I get a vibe from them that there all for te money !! Very commercialised where as care Sheffield you walk in and it feels like a hospital !! Not a show room :/ and everything is a lot more formal at care Sheffield Soo I'll b doing my iuis at lwc then egg share at care Sheffield I wish I would get given the short protocol & not the long one boo!!


It's very good though that clinic sound promising !! And bets she right that u are beautiful I wish I was 50%jamacan or something with nice green/ blue eyes and not boring !! Lol xx

 

[scerena]

Well I had a call from the bridge centre at 4.15, literally just sent my email with results and she called me asking if I have sent them!!! I'm thinking she has a match in mind for me maybe???

Anyhow I have told her in my email about my appointment with lister on the 26th and I'm going to go with whoever matches me first

Have they said why you would be on a long protocol??? And I get what you mean, it's all about the vibe you get... I'm thinking I might go to both and then choose

Aw thanks, you're not boring Hun I bet you're very pretty

I hope these IUI's work and that you don't need the egg share though

plex, 4magpies and anyone I missed... Hope you're all well???

kazza where are you??? I hope everything is going okay Hun with your cycle

 

[4magpies]

That's good news then. I'm half tempted to try our other local egg share clinic but I just dunno. Argh.

xxx

 

[scerena]

4magpies it might be worth a shot just enquiring at least so you know?

Not long until your gp appointment now Hun

 

[bettybee1]

They do the long proct as procedure :/

Sounds like she might have a match aprelady for you !!!!

So don't you ovulate at all on your own chick is that your main problem or do you have endo or summet ?? Have you had your insulin levels and stuff done am sure you will have :$

 

[scerena]

I don't ovulate on my own and yes my insulin is fine so they wouldn't give me metformin

I got this email from the bridge clinic tonight at 8.30-
"Hi Serena,
Thank you. There is no wait other then synchronising your cycle if all results are in place. Please contact Lisa and she will gladly try and fit you in and on a Monday we can also fit an appt to see the counsellor.
I shall leave it up to you to decide post your appointments and in the meantime I shall make tentative enquiries with potential recipients.
Kind regards"

I'm thinking they have a match in mind.... BUT I think I'm really swaying more to the Lister clinic though for some reason

The long protocol- how long is that usually for???

 

[bettybee1]

I would say go and get an app at this clinic at suss them out but there's no point soaring for lister if these can do it quicker & it's the same distance of course etc.
Theyre probley crying out for mixed race donors !! Especially with your eye colur etc. remember they get a lot off money for reciepents paying for ivf do there probs not trying too scam you just get there money of the reciepent before they pull out :/

Urghhh I feel for you hunnie my friend hasn't had a period in 3 years that's how long she's being trying for aswell and they haven't really given her anything apart from lots of ops !! She's on the waiting list for nhs ivf as

Fxd your ivf will work 1st time

The long proc

You go on b/c for 1 month then down reg for 2 weeks them stim for 2 weeks

I think the short prot you don't down reg do you ?? X

 

[scerena]

betty I think it's because I am on a lister egg sharing thread on fertility friends- they all have nothing but good to say about the clinic, most of the ladies who have egg shared already for their bfp on first cycle and some second cycle...

I will probably go to the other consultation also though I know they don't want to scam me, I dunno you know when you just sway... But I will probs see when they can fit me in

Your poor friend haven't they tried her on clomid or injections??? They should at least give her provera to induce her bleed as ive heard it can be dangerous years without a bleed... Is she funded by the NHS???

Yh you DR but not for long at all- maybe a week or two...
Basically I was told- pill to sync cycles, then DR then stim- but more like a month or month and half, long protocol is like 2 months then...

I pray my first IVF will work- that would be a miracle, I know I have to prepare myself it might not but I think that is going to be a very challenging thing to do as i rhink we all get our hopes up

 

[bettybee1]

Yeah you have tol go with your heart on the clincs just like I know lwc isn't right for me too ivf there !!


Yeah bless her heart they haven't give her ought there shit yeah is nhs funded but coz she is only 22 they won't give her ought till shes 23 right joke !

Thats why I went private in the 1st place !!! Coz if your under 25 they think your taking the piss arghhh hate Halifax !! Its a small shitty town !!!


She pees on preg tests every 2 weeks aswell I really feel for her she had a mc when she was 19 at 13 weeks and she hasn't bleed since it she have severe pcos endo , scarring she has constant infections! Down there coz of cysts etc.
She's not the brightest off people either so she doesn't get the whole thing properly she thinks it will just happen which it might but proby not x

 

[scerena]

Your friend is lucky though in a way- I'm 26 and don't get funded until 30 on the NHS in my pct :/

Endo explains a lot bless her and ouch about the cysts etc

I know what you mean they just look on you like a child- I look young too so doubt that helps

Youre right about going with your instinct about clinics... At the moment I'm going with my instinct- that might change tomorrow or after my appointment if not then my instinct is

 

[bettybee1]

Bloody hell 30!! That's ridiculous ! The nhs is Soo screwed up with funding they give gastric bands and druggies methadone !! Which they love coz
It's free (a lot) of them but they don't give women the chance too have children unless they fall into a certain criteria !!!! Appaling !!!
And most of the people who end up with gastric bands still over eat and don't do as there told then end up with problems coz off it which cost the nhs millions when really the person should of gone on a strict diet & exercise regime !!!

 

[scerena]

Yep the crappy NHS!!! I sent my appeal letter and they received it two weeks ago- no reply so not holding my breath!!

Exactly NHS are rubbish!!! But nothing we can do

 

[4magpies]

4magpies it might be worth a shot just enquiring at least so you know?

Not long until your gp appointment now Hun

I'm like you with lister though. I've head nothing but good about my chosen clinic. So I don't want to go to another one really if I can help it.
