IVF/ICSI in Aug/Sept/Oct Updates on 1st page!

[dizzikel]

Hi ladies! (Samba- fancy seeing you here )

After 3 failed cycles of IUI we have an appointment with our FS (8th Aug). Last time I met with him he said he would refer us to Care Fertility. Today I found out that the usual waiting time is 6-8 weeks but it could be sooner as they have to have the treatment completed within 18 weeks of the initial referral. So... all being well, I will be starting treatment Sept/Oct.

Our PIE is booked for 7th September....seems ages away!

Hope everyone is well!

[Traskey]

No Christmas Baileys

Did you see they take pics of your embies?!?!?! I never would have thought that.

Christmas announcements! I like the sound of that! I hope we get a pic of our embies, I was offered a pic of my ovaries at my last scan which is new! Thought that might be a bit creepy to have on the fridge!

 

[Sambatiki]

Trask - REALLY??? Did they say that at the presentation? I hope that the OFU do it.

Wifey - Cant believe you didnt take them up on the offer

For some reason talking about the pics of embies makes me think about the Friends episode when Phoebe gets pregnant and talks to the embies.... I cry everytime.

[Traskey]

Oh, I don't remember seeing that one! How cute, talking to the embies.

I know they recommended not working on the day of egg collection and the day after. I'm sure they also said about being able to see pics of the embies before they go back in.

 

[Sambatiki]

Trask - Its a great episode, her 2ww is like a 2hr wait

 

[africaqueen]

Im liking the thought of a sober xmas! dont want a pic of my ovaries tho... LMAO x

I LOVE that episode of friends, seen it about 10 times! lol.

Hi we're starting IVF in Sept/Oct we were going to start last December but decided to wait it out a bit longer and try naturally, we're unexplained so I wanted to give it a good go. So we've decided to go ahead for hopefully September!!

Morning Ladies hope you dont mind me joining you, I start my IVF in Aug but will be working on egg transfer for Sept. I am 39 and my husband is 38. I suppose our circumstances are slightly different to you ladies but hopefully i can share my journey with you

Thanks Dee x
