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

[4magpies]

We need a definitive list of what to eat and when and what not to eat.

I am going to switch to decaf tea, I dont drink coffee at all.

I'm not drinking alchol at the moment as I am on a diet so that one is sorted.

And I loooooooove drinking milk.

How are we all today? 6 days till HSG!!

 

[zowiey]

I agree with the list! I've banned myself from looking on google for anything! So you ladies are going to have to be my google!

Yay wifey for dates! It must feel slightly more real now?!
I think part of me is still in denial, I still hope that each month I'll get a natural bfp, but after 3 years you'd think I'd get the hint

Can you tell I'm super bummed today?! We went to see Harry potter last night and I had to sit next to a heavily pregnant lady. She was constantly rubbing her bump, and well, was just pregnant! Probably didn't help that I started spotting yesterday, and am on course to start af tomorrow!

Anyway! I will stop the miserable face now!! Hope everyone is ok? xxxx

 

[4magpies]

Oh dear, smug pregnant women, don't you just love them. I am luckily enough to work with one. Roll on her mat leave.

Also if I am anywhere near her and someone we haven't seen for a while appears they always seem to suggest that I am also pregnant, as I must look it. 2 people have done it so far, cue me running into my office in tears. Idiot. There is no way I would ever suggest anyone is pregnant unless it was blindingly obvious. Pfft.

Hope your day gets better Zow!

Delly - Where are you going on Holiday? I think its a great idea to go away beforehand, you'll be nicely relaxed when you get back xxx

Zoe - You poor thing, I would have hated that too.

I think there is a list somewhere in my journo that Tansey and Omi put I'll try and dig it out. xxx

Hope everyone is well xxx

 

[4magpies]

Sam; no point! Look what I have....

Vitamin D - we're defficient unless you live south of Paris and spend 30 minutes 3 days a week in the sun..vital stuff!!

Vit B Complex..good stuff and makes neon yellow pee - fun!

Coenzyme q10- really good for egg quality and good idea if wanting to grow a few in IVF

Walnuts - natural vits, minerals but more importantly packed with omega 3, very good for eggs and fertility - 4 a day will do

Nuts and seeds (ive got this seed mix which includes sunflower seeds, pumpkin, sesame seeds and linseeds - 2 teaspoons a day will do

Its said fullfat milk is good for fertility in studies

Aim to eat as much fresh food as possible, as opposed to pre prepared, processed, frozen etc (except for frozen veg which is fine)

Lean protein, lots of veg and complex carbs (except for brown bread i hate brown rice etc..)

I stole it and saved it on a word doc on my work PC.

It's out of your journal.

^^^ Well done lady!! xxx

 

[Delly]

We are off to Disney land Paris for 4 days and 3 days in paris, this will be the 1st holiday in 6 years so excited.

I am taking PARADOX capsules read on a thread here that it helps with egg quality and also taking 1 pregcare tablet a day been taking them for about 3 months now and also OH is taking the male version of pregecare.

[zowiey]

Wow! Sambatiki and 4magpies! Thats a pretty good list!

I need to work on the eating nuts, I like them, but much prefer them dry roasted!
I think a trip to boots is in order, but I struggle, I'm vegetarian, so not all supplements are suitable for me to take.

Delly, I'm so jealous! I love disney land! Hope you have a fab time!

[Sambatiki]

Zoe - Hope you manage to find some veggie friendly stuff xxx

DH is on the wellman conception vits xx

Hi girls,

Mind if I join you? We are hoping to start our next cycle in Sept/Oct although I'm thinking probably more around Oct time. We have our review apt on 18th Aug. We did a fresh cycle in Sept last year we got a bfp which ended in early mc, then we did fet in Jan also bfp but ended in mc and we have just completed round 3 fet which resulted in bfn. So it's on to round 4 another fresh cycle with immune testing too. Hate all the waiting around it seems never ending. I just want to get going with it NOW!!!!

Hey, I am hoping to have started Oct/Nov time depending on how things pan out, so us late ones can stick together.

Yay!! thinking we might be oct/nov time too. We are having immune tests and they take 5 weeks to come back, so if our review apt isnt until 18th Aug, then it will prob be another few weeks before they can fit us in for bloods and then a 5 week wait for results and then another wait to go back and discuss the results. It's never ending. Wait,wait,wait all the time.

 

[4magpies]

I'm having my HSG next week, then just need to see my FS and hopefully we will get a referral!

[Doodar]

Good luck hunny. Whats involed in a HSG? is that the blood flow scan to the uterus?

Well, they know I have a blocked/damaged tube (I now only have one after and ectopic in may), I have had 2 lap & dyes. My FS want's the HSG to check the condition of my remaining tube, basically they squirt radioactive dye up your foo and take an xray.

It's kinda just the last thing to tick off the list, and I guess it will show any hydro's.

I am hoping the don't decide to remove my tube and have even more of a set back waiting for an op/recovery.

Sorry for rambling!

[Sambatiki]

HI Doodar Sorry to hear that about the MC's Wishing you loads of luck for your next cycle.

Its nice to have a lady with some experience xxx

 

[Doodar]

Magpie No need to apologise. Wow you have cetainly been through the mill. Kinda puts my moaning about waiting to shame . Well I hope you get the all clear from the hsg and you get to move forward asap

Sam thanks for the welcome!

 

[dlj2]

Lots of luck for the upcomings tests, sounds like you had a nasty time with your lap, hope the hsg is a little better for you.x

Thanks for the congrats my wedding is september 9th it is helping keep my mind off the whole ttc saga.

May I ask how soon after getting accepted for IVF do you get to start the treatment? Mine seems all higgldy piggldy, we got a referal to a fertility specialist and withing a month saw him, that was back in april, then I had my lap&dye June during my recovery we recieved a letter saying we didnt meet the criteria for funding, so that has now gone to the appeal panel and we are awaiting our anwser any day, I guess im just wondering if we are successful in our appeal will we then get to move oto treatemtn straight after the wedding.

Luckily I ovulate naturally and tubes etc all clear.

Hope things start moving along quickly for everyone now.xx

 

[Sambatiki]

DLJ - For me the process has been a long time coming, we have been with an FS for 2 years but because of PCT guidelines we didnt qualify until my 30th Birthday (9th August) I have had all the usual tests, CD3, CD21's, scans, Clomid, HSG and SA's done I phoned the John Radcliffe on 1st June and they sent all the relevant paperwork to me along with the Presentation Evening date. I have heard that after the PIE everything moves every quickly and most people can start with their cycle. However each PCT probably differs. Hope it helps.

Welcome Doodar!

I'm glad we don't have to drink the milk, especially if it's mean to be full fat!

I am trying to eat healthily and have swapped to the brown carbs. Been on the vitamins for 20 cycles so should have enough in my system. Been a bit sporadic with them lately though so I need to kick my own butt.

One week until we are off to the clinic
