IVF/ICSI/FET 2011 everyone welcome

[raf-wife]

have any of you been told not to in the run up to ivf we havent yet but i have heard of others being told not to incase they get pregnant

 

[maaybe2010]

Yep got told today, reason being (not being condesending sp?) is that the drugs can 'damage' baby resulting in deformities, abnormalities or disability

The main aim of IVF is to get one healthy baby

 

[maaybe2010]

Thanks ladies

Lol Flake-y I gave up drinking agggges ago!
I don;t mind so much but it drives OH insane not being able to have a pint ahah

I'm on the long so down regging and stimming

x x x x

me too but ive never really been a drinker anyway just the odd glass of wine mind you i find it hard to resist champagne at weddings and we go to a lot of those dh has a big family
i also feel like ive been on folic acid for ever and have been eating honey yuck everyday on toast for breakfast because its said to improve egg quality i have to alternate every bite with a sip of juice lol

haha I'm not too keen on champers either, you would think I'm 80 the amount I DON'T drink
Yeah I know!! The nurse today was like "You should start taking folic acid" I was like "you mean for the same as the past two years?" I started taking it about three month before we even started trying

Hi Ladies, Maybe2010 sorry to hear you can't start straight away I know you were so looking forward to starting but on the bright side you'll be starting the same time as me yay. I will hopefully be starting cycle no 2 my 1st injection will be right on top of Xmas but just can't wait to get started and Xmas is a good distraction xxx With this being my 2nd cycle if anyone has got any questions please feel free to ask even if you think they are stupid I think it's a big help when you can ask someone who's experienced it. Good Luck everyone xxxxx

 

[raf-wife]

Hello! Please can I be added to the list?
Had our group info evenin last week, hubs had his screenin last week and got our
Individual half hour. Consultation on 22nd november.
I don't really know anything about dates or down reggin or stimming or the like it all goes over my head to be honest.
Although we've got all our injections now (just needles, no meds)
Infact might give the ivf ward a ring now see if they can shed any light. I don't like not knowin what's going on.
Was hoping to get going before christmas but I don't know how it will work?
I just don't know aarrrgh! So frustrated.

Thanks hun
Aww haha that's worked out fab hope we both get 's!!!

Maybe2010 I'm glad u said that about 1 last chance to make it happen naturalluy (sorry don't know how to
quote you properly) thoughy I was the only one that was still hopin for a natural pregnency.
We have been told we've got 0% of concieving naturall but the consultant said as we left 'stranger things
have happened!!' How's that for positive thinking!

Just seen my name on the first page. Is anybody else still struggling to accepted that this is actually happening
To them?? Everytime I think about it, it just does not seem real.
Still at the beginning stages so still very in the dark about what's goin to happen
Hopefully after our individual consulation it will all become clear.
Does anybody know what happens at the individual consult? All I know is that I will have an internal examination.

That's a nice thought; I've heard of that happening, people getting pg just before an IVF cycle!
We've not been told cause there's totally ZERO chance of a natural pregnancy in our case.

it is a strange feeling ive waited so many years for this and i cant beleive that its really happening, if its the consultation with your specialist they should do a transvaginal sonogram and another sperm analysis and you sign all your consent forms i have been told to allow 3 hours for the appointment, if its with the fertility manager they explain what will happen and the costs and with me the consultant had been through all my results already so she could tell me what will happen/when and what protocol i was going on

 

[maaybe2010]

Aw hun
I think we've got a 2-3% chance of a natural pregnancy so technically it's not impossible!

I think every clinic / hospital has it's own preceedure. . .
We went in on Monday for arpound an hour/hour half and all we did was sign forms and she gave us a TINY amount of info. . .

Raf -wife thanks for all the information. They have told us its only half an hour long and they do an internal
Examination. That's weird how urs is 3 hours long!! Was hopin to get goin the cycle after that meeting

i shouldnt worry every clinic has there own way, at our appointment they want to do another semen analysis and we get the results whilst we are there, maybe thats why its going to be so long im not sure but i know that we are getting everything ready at this appointment so we can start straightaway after xmas,

 

[DaisyJump]

Ah right. They said we don't need any more SA until the actual day he's had all his blood screenin. I missed my period this month so will have mine done dec. Eeee hopefully I'll have everything ready to go affected.
Still hasn't sunk in. Only found out we have no chance of conceiving naturally endof sept!!! X

I'd like to win the lottery & get pregnant!!! Or, winning the lottery would pay for a lot of IVF...
