[Pollydoodle]

Good luck with your appointment today raf-wife, hope it all goes well and the snow doesn't hold you up to much. We are hoping to make it through to Glasgow today for a fertility assessment in advance of our consents appointment tomorrow - this snow is a damn nuisance!
Take care

Hello, ladies! We are going to start our second ivf cycle this month. Well, we will start the bcps this month and then the injectables at the very end of the month or first week of January. Crossing my fingers for all of us!

good luck today raf-wife, its great to get start dates. Hope you get there okay with the snow, its so frustrating!!

Jo, I'm sorry but I dont know much about egg-sharing but I did sign consent for any of my spare eggs to be used in training - I thought that if past people didnt offer their eggs in the last 30 years, we all might be in a more difficult situation without choices such as ICSI etc....today...

AFM- well you were right Raf-wife, I was told to do my trigger last night and yesterday and to get 3 more meds from local chemist (which was difficult enough with the snow) 2 to try and help decrease my E2 levels and one to improve my lining....
So my trigger is done and now Im just worrying about us getting to London tonight to stay at my sisters as she is fairly near to the clinic for 8am in the morning for EC. I normally love snow and I want to go out in it but all the info saying to keep warm and have hot water bottles on ovaries has made be scared to go out in it.

Hoping everyone gets their dates real soon and heres Just hoping we are going to get some good eggs tomorrow

hi everyone im on such a high since our appointment it was very nearly cancelled i had a call at 7.30 to say they only had two members of staff, but then i had another call at 9.30 asking if i could go in early and they had loads of people cancel, so we went in for 11.30 and were seen pretty much straightaway, anyway all went well and so long as af arrives on time i collect meds 3rd jan and start stimming 14th jan if af is 5 days late they will give me provera to start it off for once i hope she arrives on time x

 

[raf-wife]

oh yeah the consultant agreed on 2 embryos being transfered and said we have a 1 in 3 chance of twins with our results, and 43% success rate per embryo x

 

[raf-wife]

ANGIEMON i had been wondering about you good luck for egg collection x

welcome mysillygirls good luck x

Ahhhhh raf wife that great news. You're startin 2 days before me.
Glad you got your dates.
So your embreyos have 43% chance each , does that mean with 2 your succcess is 86%?!
We got told with one embie have 47-50% success and with 2 its 50-53%!
What made you deciede for 2. We originally decided on 1 but I'm in 2 minds now xx

 

[Pollydoodle]

That's great raf-wife, glad your appointment went well - 43% seems pretty good. Fingers crossed!!
Posted in another thread on this, but anyway my AMH result which I got the other day seemed very different (17pcmol) to the one which I had before at a different clinic (30pcmol) before I decided to go to this place (although they seem to use different reference ranges). On the basis of my previous AMH the consultant had said short protocol but now I am not sure what they will say given the new result. I'm hoping they don't just tell me tomorrow that I'm being bounced into the long protocol as I think I would prefer the short one (just cos it seems less drugs, not that I know that much about it)

im not sure about amh levels i was just told mine was very high i hope it goes well for you tommorrow and things dont change
i agree with the less drugs thing for me anyway im glad im not down regging because the affects are similar to clomid most people are fine on it but for me it sent me but whatever we have to do it will be worth it when we all get our babys

we thought long and hard but kept coming back to 2, i obviously worry about the risks but we would be worrying even with 1, but there are many reasons why we are going for 2, i really dont want to influence your decision though you need to think about how you would feel to be told your having twins and the medical financial and emotional implications, for us we would be equally over the moon for one or two babys x

 

[Kristin83]

I got my schedule today

Lupron injections start 12/16
Follistin and menopur on 12/31

And then blood work and internal ultrasounds on 1/4, 1/6, and 1/8

And then during the week of 1/10 they will do the procedure

I'm so nervous but very excited

 

[DaisyJump]

the FS told us that on the day of transfer they'll have all the information they and we need and a definite decision can't be made untill that day.
we went for 1 mainly because twins run in my family. i would be absolutely over moon with twins. but of course we also be over the moon with one baby. got months to think about it tho. my gut instinct says 1 and my gut instinct almost always WRONG! so we will more than likely go with what we get advised.

kristen you threw me with your dates then. At first i thought there isnt a 16 month!
so happy you got your dates and you start soon. you'll have to keep us up to date and yours should be the first BFP ;D xx

 

[raf-wife]

i will update for you

 

[raf-wife]

HI
Im Bex, Weve been trying for a year now and Im 40 and a half. I have the dosh raised now for one shot at IVF have last screening tests scheduled for monday plus another thyroid check last one was TSH 2.23. So after I get the results of the HIV?HEP B and C etc we can go for our consult at manchester fertility specialists. Already had a consult at liverpool but MFS is quite a bit cheaper, the extras add up. We want 2 put back and did want Assisted hatching but they don't do that. Chances are 10% but after constant thought I just can't not do it. Ive sold everything!!!
So would love to join you girls Im on 7 dpo today and will have another natural cycle with ovulation on christmas day before we do the IVF so theres always hope. My main worry is how I'll feel if it fails, Thats the end then.
Bex
