Hi to everyone else. Sorry lack of personals but not much in the mood x


AFM- Going to see my best friend in hospital soon as she has skin cancer in her leg and is having it amputated tomorrow ( i am dreading going in to see her as she is on the same ward my mum was on when she died and in the room next door to my mums too so going to be so hard for me but i HAVE to see her before this huge op to offer support. Just got to be strong for her. xxx

 

[Tinks85]

AQ - I am so sorry to hear about your friend It will be tough hun to be on that ward with your memories, I hope you are ok. I am sure your friend will appreciate you efforts. Sorry about your tooth as well, that sounds awful.

Smile - How did you get on?

Princess thats a great report Lets hope for 5 blasts

Traskey - not long until your scan now.

Hi to the rest of the gang

I am sorry but I am just copying and pasting from my journel

Well it was an early start and we arrived at the hospital for around half 8, appointment was not until 11am but if we had set of any later then we would have just spent the extra 2 hours in traffic. We went and had a nice breakie in weatherspoons and a coffee and chilled for awhile before making our way to the hospital. They were running behind, no suprise for the NHS hey, but we were in and out in about 5 - 10 minutes once seen Basically the last cycle went well apart from BFN, she said she would have expected more mature eggs as I had a good response to stimms but was happy with the numbers. I dont think a stimmed for long enough IMO, I only did it for 10 days so I think if I had done even one more day I would have had more mature eggs. She said the embryos were perfect though. We can call to request treatment as soon as AF comes, I will start DR with bruserelin injections on cd21 and then when my following AF shows up I will be given tablets to thicken my lining. When lining looks good they will thaw both embryos and replace both, if both survive. I didn't even have to ask if we could tranfer 2. Apparently the embyos have a 50% chance of surviving the thaw. She seemd very optamistic and said we stand a good chance of becoming pregnant. I am still very gaurded with this coment though

Also, I asked about suplements and the cons said that they dont really make any difference, she wished there was something she could recomend to me but said to just take folic acid. With regards to diet she said I dont need to cut anything out but have everthing in moderation.

Hi everyone

hope you're all ok.

Aq, hope the tooth clears up soon
Tink, glad your appointment went ok, tons of luck for cycle start.
Princess, thats great news, grow embies grow.
Hope, hope you're ok.



Hi to everyone else

 

[~Hope~]

Tink - so glad to hear your FU went well. And that you can get started soon too!

K - well done on remembering where we're all in this process. I'm not sure whether my consultation is classed as follow up or not but we'll definitely be discussing what we need to do next.

Has your clinic agreed that they will transfer 2 blasts? That actually surprises me since you are so young and therefore chances of success are high. My clinic said that they only consider two blasts if a woman is >35 and has at least one failed cycle. I know NHS clinics are targeted on reducing multiple births (which i think is madness) but two 5 days is more likely to be twins than two 3 days. Maybe it's different in private clinics? Great results for you though honey and fx those embies keep developing

OMG Aq your poor friend. You're being very brave and it's lovely for you to do that for her

 

[~Hope~]

oops double posted

 

[Tinks85]

Hope - My clinic has the same rule as yours with blasts. Especailly if its your first transfer as well. Apparently the target for multiples in 2012 has been put down to 15% instead of 25%.

Princess could be our first twin mummy
