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

[Plex]

Have u heard back about ur levels yet? I hope they've dropped enough so u can have the ec

I feel a bit crushed at the moment as Ive just heard back from the counsellours and the earliest appointment they can give me is 28th JUNE She also said that I probably wudnt be starting until after AUGUST!!!! I feel let down and fed up now, I cant believe its going to take that long We can't afford to pay for IVF and even if we cud Id still feel the same as i'd set my heart on helping someone else too...I dunno maybe she was just giving me the worst case scenario?

 

[scerena]

Yes and they've increased but only slightly so they said that they should start dropping now they're not shooting up fx'd! I've got to go back tomorrow and SUNDAY if they're still high great bank holiday weekend!!!!

OMG the counsellor surely can't be that busy?! Have you told them to put you on a list incase anyone cancels???
Ahhhhhh Hun feels like when we are trying to do a good deed we still get knocked back I'm so hoping that this is the worse case scenario I really am

 

[Plex]

Fxd - they start dropping now, sounds like a good sign if theyve slowed down - Hopefully by next week u'll be scheduled in for ec can us till go ahead with et even though u had these high estrogen levels? - Sorry I dont really know how it works x

I did ask to be contacted if any cancellations do crop up but she basically said that that was very unlikely to happen So looks like im stuck with the 28th June then My hub doesnt see the problem with waiting that long whereas i see it as a massive set back. Im just very aware that i only have just over a year to start the process and any little delay seems like a huge blow to me Oh well theres nothing I can do about it I suppose - I'll just have to 'man up' and wait so lots of for me then lol xx

You know you don't legally have to have councilling. They just have to legally offer it you, you can decline if you don't think you need it.

Have everything crossed for you scerena.

I had to wait 2 weeks for my councilling app. Can't believe they don't have one for you till June!!!

Thanks hun thats made me feel a bit better, I hope that the clinic feel that way, I'll speak to the nurse about that when I get my test results

How r u doing? xx

 

[4magpies]

I'm not bad I guess. Really happy with the metformin. I'm eating what I want and not really gaining weight. It's working really well.

How long u been taking the metformin for now? So pleased its working really well for u hun xx

Im finding things the same with taking thyroxine tablets. How my doc can say that i dont tecnically have a thyriod problem is beyond me. I couldnt loose weight before I was put on them and now- still eating more or less the same its gradually coming down and my levels are now between 1-2 which is where they shud be, so ive not got an overactive thyriod - over active is when the levels are under 1(i was just under 6 before, literally 5.9: 6+ is underactive).

Scerena- How are ur levels today hun? im keeping my FXD theyve come down x

 

[scerena]

Hey plex
not brilliant news BUT goodish news...
My levels dropped from 33000 yesterday to 24000 today... It has to be 20000 or below in order to have EC, so back to London tomorrow and if all is well with my bloods tomorrow then EC will be on Tuesday so please please please keep your fingers crossed for me....

They haven't mentioned freezing embies I think once my levels go down I'm safe to have EC and ET fx'd

I hope that you haven't got to do the counselling that would be fab

4magpies how are you??? When are you due to start IVF again??? I'm glad you're doing really well on the met, I was unlucky on it I felt terrible I hear such good things about the met

 

[Plex]

YAY!!!!!!! Thats fantastic news hun Im keeping EVERYTHING CROSSED they drop to under 20000 2moro Have they said whether they will u do 3day or 5dt, also have they said how many u will have put back? xx

I have a feeling that I will have to have the counselling but im going to be ultra prepared for it so we wont need a follow u app

 

[scerena]

plex fx'd I hope they do they push for a 5dt but if they don't look to good on day 3 then transfer will be then but they prefer pushing to 5dt if they can
They've advised 1 embie to be transferred but if I'm lucky enough to have two embies then I am probably going to fight to have two but we will see...

I hope that everything goes well and you can get the counselling over and done with and get going with your cycle

 

[4magpies]

Glad your levels are starting to go down honey.

I've been on metformin for about 4 weeks now, I bought it in Spain as my GP wouldn't give it to me or refer me to the endocrinologist. I even had KFC yesterday. Haha. But that is all I ate. My appetite has dropped.

One of my IVF friends off twitter sent me a load of vitamins in the post yesterday, royal jelly, coenzyme-Q10, zinc. Loads!! And my other friend has sent me the zita west cd for relaxation. Listened to it last night and it made me fall asleep. Haha!

I also had a letter from the hospital, apparently I have an infection of bacterial vaginosis, I'm really mad because this is from swabs I had when I was in for my ectopic I'm march. It's taken them 6 weeks to tell me, now I have to wait till tues to get antibiotics, I went to the doctor last week as I knew something wasn't right, she just thought it was thrush.

Thing is BV is really bad for IVF as it can lower success rates and cause early loss. I'm so mad they didn't tell me earlier. I really hope that I don't have to wait even longer to start IVF now. I think aslong as I've finished anti biotics before I start I should be ok?

Honestly nothing is ever plain sailing for me.

Everything crossed for you scerena.

[scerena]

MY LEVELS ARE DOWN LOADS 10,498 to be exact!!!
EC IS TUESDAY so happy to finally of gotten to egg collection after this long journey with everything being so up and down!!!
Now the worry to how many eggs I get, hoping theres enough for me and my recipient and how many fertilise and if any make to blast.... Now I'm scared!!!!

4magpies that is not on that they didn't tell you until now!! I'm sure if you finish the antibiotics before IVF everything should be fine Hun, maybe they will retest I am not sure???
Things just aren't plain sailing I wish that's could tell you they will get easier during IVF but they don't Hun (I'm a prime example of what can go wrong) but I'm so hoping that you get a easy cycle Hun

I'm glad that you find the metformin helpful and you don't get bad side effects from it my gp and old fs wouldn't prescribe them to me either as I'm not over weight etc but the fs at my new private clinic did

That's fab your friends have sent you loads of stuff to prepare for IVF I started CoQ10 when I started stimming I hope it helped lol!
I use relaxation music too and light some candles, but I haven't the past couple of weeks

 

[Plex]

Scerena - not long now hun - Im keeping my fxd still that u have plenty of good eggies in there hun xxx

 

[Plex]

4Magpies- Bloody hell, thats not on - thery shudve told u much sooner than that hun hopefully with ur antibiotics it shud b cleared up b4 u start xx

 

[4magpies]

I better get an easy cycle after all this crap. Had enough!! Haha.

I did have side effects to start with but fine after weaning myself on it now. Just takes a while for your stomach to get used to it I think.

So glad your levels have dropped. Yay for EC tomorrow!!

My appointment tomorrow too!!

[scerena]

4magpies thank you Hun I'm soooooooo nervous now!!!! I really hope none of you ladies have a cycle like mine it was rough with the nausea etc..

My doc said to stop taking the met as I was very bad on it, my body didn't agree with it at all unfortunately I'm glad your body got use to it mine was having none of it

Remind me sorry what your appointment is for tomorrow??? (My memory is rubbish lately!!!)
