Hi ladies

Goodluck Laura for today remember all you need is one little fighter so don't get too bogged down with numbers xxx

Nearly there Wrighty you must be dead excited.

LittlePee Good luck on stimms you should start to feel a little more human now.

I'm sorry you've had a setback AfricaQueen there's nothing worse than when someone messes up, People are really annoying they don't understand that your life is literally on hold xxxx

Hope everyone else is well xxxx

AFM no symptoms yet health wise I feel ok emotionally is a different story, I have decided if I do have to go again i'm not going through the womens it's so expensive and the fact they can't answer the phone to you or as in my case I had my embryo's put back a day early coz they don't open on a Sunday has really pissed me off and made the whole process 10 times more stressful. I think they are really good for NHS treatments but they don't even come close to private care. Anyways i'm just watching the Wright Stuff and the next topic is Is Infertility an Illness so I can see myself getting very annoyed xxxx

Hi Montana84, From what I have experienced at the Womens when it's your 1st cycle of IVF/ICSI everyone goes on the same protocol the whole thing from starting injections to having embryo's transferred takes about 5-6 weeks. You start injections daily on about day 23 of your cycle this is to supress your hormones and to stop you from ovulating a sort of mini menopause about 3 weeks later you have a baseline scan to check that the lining of your womb is nice and thin and they will then tell you to start the stimming injection as well as the downreg so 2 injections a day. You will stay on these for about 10 days having a scan on day 7 and a scan on day 10 they will then advise you when your egg collection will be which is usually a couple of days later. I don't know about statistics when it comes to success with ICSI but everyone is different and if I've learnt anything it's that this process is a real lottery and it works for some and not others. Hope this helps, Try not to get to bogged down by medications and scan dates just go with the flow and it will all become clear when you start xxxx
