Hi All

Hope everyone one is doing well at the different stages in progress.

Laura - Your pic is amazing and very inspirational indeed.

Africa - hows things hun with the injecting??

WEll not been on here for a while as had bloods done at LWH and due to them coming back all fine we are not eligable to help via the NHS even though wwe have been trying for over 2 years with no success.
With all that happening and looking into the cost it was a mine field and very costly. we did a little bitt of searching and found a fertility clinic in Manchester that do and egg sharing programme which in effect brings down the cost of treatment for yourself so after countless emails and paper filling ewe have our first appointment there on Tuesday which is quite exciting but at the same time making me very nervous.
Due to the fact that i will be egg sharing, my wife has also agreed to donate her eggs to the clinic for use as egg donors are in short supply so this again reduces the cost and we only have to pay for donor sperm which is great news for us as it still gives us an opportunity with IVF but at a fraction of the cost.
So if all goes well on Tuesday with the consultant, donation team and the councelling peeps my wife will start first to donate and once she has done that i can then start treatment, so hopefully and fingers crossed it will be all go for us soon.

Hi to everyone else, like i say not been on here for long so unsure where alot of people are up to.

Good luck to all, even though we are not getting treatment at LWH i will still pop on from time to time and see where everyone is at and hopefully be reading about some BFP soon.xx

Hi everyone

Just a quick question about down reg being on day 23, does that depend on how long your cycles are as i have a 24 day cycle so i was wondering whether that would change the date i would down reg?

Cheers for any answers.

Its our anniversary tomorrow and excited for a great day, hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hi girls.
Well day 3 of down regging for me and talk about exhausted!! i could sleep stood up! has anyone else found this? i have a lot of emotional stuff going on anyway an im tired a lot due to that but i am talking so tired i could sleep for a wk! lol.

Hope everyone is doing well xxx

yeah hun, tiredness is normal i was like that thru both of mine and i had major hot flushes and some headaches to sometimes, just try and get some rest hun! xxx

Hi hun,
Can i just ask was it your second IVF that you got your BFP?? Did you take any time off after EC?
x

hi hun, yeah was my 2nd ivf i got my bfp hunny! i booked a few holidays off hun so i had a few days to rest in between EC and ETxxx

 

[africaqueen]

Morning ladies.

Babies- I would call lwh and ask about that. If you have 24 day cycles it would still be cd23 though tho wouldnt it? i think... lol. I would deffo check with them. Good luck x

Polly- Nice to see you back here with some positive news! good luck for tuesday an hope all works out for you both and lovely that you will both be donating an giving so much hope to other women x

Nici- I am not scared of needles but im weak stomached to watch it go in so my best friend has been doing them for me as she is diabetic and been self injecting for 30yrs so safe to say she is a pro! lol. I have no bruises or marks, it never hurts and the only side effects i have had are the odd hot flush and feeling aggresive but its only early days on them yet so il see how i go. lol x

Hello! My cycles vary between 24 and 28 so they started me on day 21. If you tell them your average cycle length they decide the best day for you. Have a great anniversary, it's mine on Monday xx

 

[cvaeh]

Hi everyone

stickypolly-glad you have some positive news.

babies- my cycles vary between 25 and 32 days so they start my downregulating on day 19. i'm starting my second cycle on day 19 this thursday.

laura- love the new scan picture. i managed to get some royal jelly capsules from the health rack. how many did you take a day? it says one on packet to support immune system but that doesn't seem a lot.

africaqueen- hows the downregulating going?

is anyone else starting down regulation this week!
