[Doodar]

Schoolteacher my hubby had VR too. It wasn't successful though. Another heartbreaking time to add to the rest. Jeez it's such a rollercoaster of a ride isn't it. Not letting it beat me though. We will get there.

[Sambatiki]

Princess - Are you at MFS??

 

[princess_1991]

noo weve actually gone out the area and are having our treatment in london xx

 

[Sambatiki]

Are you doing free egg share?

If our NHS fails we're going to the lister.

 

[schoolteacher]

hiyaa ladies, i know my sig says ivf august but as were doing egg donation i reckon the month of august will be spent finding me some one to donate to and regulating us to the same cycle then hopefully starting the actual cycle in september, can i join you xx

Im egg sharing too! The NHS wouldn't fund us becasue my dh has children from his previous marriage-sucks.
We still have to pay for hfea fee, icsi fee (but not actual ivf fee), possibly surgical sperm extraction, and (if we want it) any embies to be frozen-should there be any spare.
Im angry that the nhs wouldnt fund us-I think the no kids rule should apply to the women not the man, have said that women with chn also deserve treatment too as I no the sadness by sisiter is going through not seeming able to have another) but I know they have to make cuts somewhere. I also think they should consider whether the children are grown up and not living with us either but hey ho.

Anyhow-the fs centre called today the first lot of blood tests are back at all fine. The rest such as hiv etc take another two weeks. Im annoyed that my period is now 7 days late! as I can't start the pill until it does. Im also on metformin which is known for is nasty side effects. So far it has given me tummy ache, and (tmi!) -the runs every morning! -Which is helping me lose weight, lol! I dread going from 1 a day to the 2 I'm meant to be taking (they said to build up to the that!!!) Anyone else on metformin?x

 

[princess_1991]

Yes samba were doing a free egg share and schoolteacher the nhs won't fund us cuz DH has kids too, were going to CRM London, I've had a scan etc but it showed a cyst but we've now had the all clear from that and our next appointment is for our bloods, is anyone else doing egg share concerned about the amount of time it takes to be paired and regulated with someone?? X x

 

[Tinks85]

AQ - I wonder why our clinic dosen't offer PIE, thats sounds really usefull. Never mind

Magpie, that would be great. It would be good to speak to someone face to face that knows what this nightmare is like

Delly - WOW not long

Hope everyone one is ok, sorry for no more personals. I am late now and seriously need to get in the shower

Have a good weekend

 

[africaqueen]

Tinks- Are you having NHS treatment or self funding? PIE is only for NHS cycles u see.
It was good cos they have a consultant and a embyologist and a nurse an counseller all giving a talk and you get all your consent forms etc and forms for blood tests etc all in one info pack and attend this evening with around 25 other couples.

Hi to everyone else, hope we are all going to have a good wkend. I am having a lazy morning an then off to the shops for a few bits and bobs. My husband is home soon so cnt wait! he works away a few days a wk and i miss him like mad xxx

X x

I've heard it can happen fairly quickly and my centre (herts and essex) seem keen to get things moving quickly but what that actually means in reality I don't know! In my head Im thinking (hoping) sept/oct-my first appointment was on the 23rd june-I may be completly wrong tho.

[princess_1991]

schoolteacher - our clinic is suppose to be the shortest waiting list in britain for people waiting for doner eggs, so im guessing it wont take long for us to be paired with some one xx
