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

[africaqueen]

Morning ladies.

Hi to all the new ladies and i hope we all have IVF success this yr!
I had 2 ectopics within 6mths of eachother last yr an lost both tubes so hoping IVF will work as i think i must have ok eggs to of been preg twice before. Fingers x'd!

As regards a 30% success rate... for a fertile couple the chance each natural cycle of getting pregnant is only 20% and look how many women get pregnant each mth! lol. Also that predictor cant take into account individual circs so take no notice! xxx

BAD google, I got 26.5%. Never been pregnant and 39 years old! That's with ICSI, with IVF it's 18%

Schoolteacher, Herts and Essex work in partnership with Oxford. For our first attempt we've been told to go to Oxford and they have dates on their web page. Seems to be a bit different to the H&E who start the drugs at day 21 of the cycle. I guess we'll find out next week.

More forms in the post today to fill in!

 

[Tinks85]

Boooo to more forms. I have lost count how many times we have had to sign something

I am hoping maybe Oct/Nov, so I will be later than you lot, but I am close with a lot of the girlies in here so they said I could join in.

Plus it will be nice to have prior warning of everything that you ladies are going through.

I still have 11lbs to lose!

[Tinks85]

Yey for HSG

I am sure you may overlap someone hun, I know I dont have set dates yet

Sorry to hear about you ectopics AQ

 

[4magpies]

Does anyone else find the idea that we are going to be making a baby with out having sex really odd!? Immaculate conception, I love the idea personally.

[africaqueen]

Magpies- That is fab news then hun and of course ur welcome in here! we can help u so u know whats what ;-) as regards the HSG... make sure u take 2 super strong painkillers a hr before the procedure as i didnt and all i can say is... OUCH! also make sure they give u the antibiotics that reduce the chance of infection as they never gave them to me and i think that contributed to my ectopics xxx

Tinks- Think u are right that someone here will end up having EC in Nov as none of us really know our dates etc and a lot of the ladies have not had PIE yet and it can take a while to get a appt after that xxx

 

[4magpies]

Thanks for the tips AQ. I have my mefanamic acid at the ready which they give me for my spasms/pain during ovulation. So they should do the job.

I didn't know about antibiotics! My insides are fubar'd anyway. How long after your HSG did you see your FS? I am gonna try and ring up and book a cancellation ASAP.

Truthfully i find it rather sad as all the intimacy with my husband has gone as regards making our child, but i do find the whole IVF process very intresting and i will like that aspect of things such as seeing our embies etc
Hey, as long as it works and we get our babies its all GOOD xxx

 

[Tinks85]

Yes magpie. What I did find odd was being inside the IVF clinic for the first time. I just said to DH that this is where our baby will be made I am finding it hard to get my head around the fact that half our baby could be produced today with the banking but the other half will be 2/3 months later after EC

I cant say I like the idea to much but it is certainly mind boggling

At least when our children ask us how they got in our tummys we can say that the Dr put them in, we dont have to mention sex

 

[4magpies]

Hahaha, exactly, no uncomfortable sex talks at an early age!

I guess I am just trying to think the best of a bad situation!! It'll make my LO very very special as such effort and time from so many people has gone into making him/her.

xxx

 

[africaqueen]

Magpies- I had the HSG and got result straight after hun. I dont know if its the same in all PCTS but i would imagine it is. Good luck xx

Tinks- I like that! haha. No sex talk! lol. One thing for sure, after all we would of endured to give birth to our miracles, they will be loved and wanted more than anyone could imagine and its a lovely tale to tell them when they are older of how special they are and how many ppl can say they seen their babies as a embryo?

Magpies- We do have to make the best of this and i love your PMA hun. I think another fab thing about IVF is that you are monitered closely in early pregnancy and get to have a very early scan ;-)

Im off to work ladies so be back on after 8pm xxx

 

[4magpies]

Ooooh I forgot about seeing LO as just an emby, right at the start of their life, its amazing!

And yeah, extra scans are always good!!

I know I'll get my result's there and then, I know what they are gonna be due to my L&D's. They know my left tube is blocked. I need to get back to the FS to get the next step ideally.

[Sambatiki]

Im not too phased about where baby is made... but I do feel a little sad like AQ. But Im liking the birds and bees explanation about the 'how was I made'

Tinks - Good Luck today! xx

Mags - Defo take the painkillers esp if youve got a blocked tube... one of mine didnt flow in straightway and they had to put more in and it was very uncomfortable. Good luck!! xx

AQ - Sorry to hear about the MC's

 

[4magpies]

I've just text my mum and she is gonna come with me again, hopefully I won't feel like punching someone/walk out in tears/ranting like a crazy woman this time. I was so angry last time!! It's embarassing, hopefully they won't remember me!

Should take them a couple of hours before yeah?

xxx

 

[Sambatiki]

I would take them about an hour before as AQ's suggestion. Your mum wont be able to go with you in the room because its an x-ray. Not sure if you knew that already.. or whether you wanted your mum to be in the actual room at the time.

Yeahhh I know, she just comes and sits in the waiting room if OH can't make any appointments, shes always good as a mental cheer leader when I come out.
