Hi girls,
She gave me what I can only describe as an internal ultra sound. She didnt explain to me at any time what she was doing so.... Anyway she seems to think I have a bicornute(!) uterus. I´ve googled it and it doesnt seem to be the best of news. So I have to go for blood tests during my period and right after it for a hsg (is that the correct abbreviation?). Then on March 20th I have an appt for a
scan. Is this all pretty routine? Ugghhh...

Hey, cosita. Not saying it'll be the same for you, but I was told the same thing when I had my dildo-cam, but when I had the HSG scan it showed that I didn't have a bircornuate uterus at all but I did have a weird 'pinching' of the tubes on each side, though this didn't stop the dye going through and I was told it could simply be a contraction in response to the dye. I had another dildo-cam a couple of weeks ago by the specialist at the Fertility Clinic and she said there are absolutely no problems at all and everything looks very normal. So my advice would be to try not to worry and focus too much on this - it's the scan that is more accurate.

Yes, the bloods etc are all very routine. They just want to check that everything's OK your end so that you have the highest chance of success when it comes to ICSI/IVF etc (or for donor if you're using this as a backup).

I wish we did have only 9 to chose from, our consultant uses a Danish clinic, we have OVER 500 to chose from and yes I definitely think the more info you have the harder it is to chose. Some of them have baby pictures, there is the nurses view of the donors personality, family tree and a personal questionnaire; education, temperament type questions. What we narrow it down with is, hair colour and eye colour. I feel so much pressure chosing, I know there is not a wrong choice, but its overwhelming at times.
We will get there I guess
What is the next step for you now Silverbell?

Blimey! That must be tough. Well I would cross out all the ones that don't fit the hair and eye colour. Then look at those and decide on one more feature or characteristic you don't really want and cross them off ... and so on. Eventually you should have whittled it down quite a bit. I'm sorry you have such a difficult decision ahead of you!

Next step is literally ringing the clinic on day 1 of my next AF (due mid-March) so they can get me in by day 3 to show me how to do the injections and give me the drugs and then it's a scan the following week and hopefully (all being well with the scan) donor insemination the following week. I'm so excited now!

We were only given the ones that were a potential match so they all had the right hair and eye colour. We only had 4 to choose from - the additional info we had was height and blood group. xx

Absolutely over the moon for our Deb

She's waited so bloody long and shed so many tears and so much heartache.

I'm overjoyed!

See - we knew a Valentine's transfer with a beautiful hatching embie were all good signs, didn't we?

Yay deb!! I'm new here but I did start from the first page and know that your journey has not been easy. I am so happy to hear about your positive test! Have a happy and healthy nine months!!

 

[Deb111]

So symptoms so far (to be honest - all things that I could have put down to something else or not really thought twice about if I wasn't super-aware)

- sense of smell is very accute!! Not that things are making me feel ill, just REALLY noticing things

- needing to eat something before my usual 10.30 in the morning - didn't feel sick this morning, just felt weak and empty and a bit woozy before I had a biscuit before work

 

[WANBMUM]

Just got my results and I haven't got a clue what they mean, I only spoke to the receptionist:
Eastro 358
Progesterone 14.4
LH 6.6
Fsh 5.3

If anyone can help I'd be grateful. Oh ya, it was day 19 as it fell on a weekend.

Hey gals can any of you help me out?

 

[WANBMUM]

Ps it's for my day 21 bloods

 

[snd80]

Well, my hsg test has been moved to this afternoon, and I am soooo nervous!!! My dumb question is..... where does the dye go after it is injected? I mean, will I be peeing blue, or will it come out the "other" end? LOL! Me being me, I'm always thinking ahead!
