IVF/ICSI @ Liverpool Womens Hospital

[Joanne C]

Hello all,
Well we went in to the HC today and the gave me a scan without even asking for it....and in there is a little dot measuring 8.3mm.. Quite surreal really : ) they believe I'm 6.5 weeks but measured 6.6 so a bit bigger! Got a little pic too.
Hi Lisa... 4 weeks already where has that time gone.
Hi jule how you feeling when is your 12 week scan?
Hi to everyone else too x

 

[Lisa40]

I know it's crazy how quickly the time goes by, she'll be all grown up & moving out before we know it!!

That's great that they gave you a scan & I'm so happy for you that everything is going well.

Great news Jo, so happy things were ok x

 

[Jules78]

Great news Jo.... It's lovely seeing it isn't it! Do you still have your scan next week too? They said that cos we had had the bleed they still wanted us to come back the next week so that was good! We had our 1st appointment with the twin specialist last week and we were scanned. You have quite a lot with twins ESP as ours share a placenta. Got another next week. All was good anyway! I've had a nasty dose of gastroenteritis the past few days so felt horrendous! Just taking it easy tho xx

Hi ladies

Not had a chance to read all the updates but wanted to share what I learnt from the private consultant.

Basically he said that day 1 of my period he wants me to have a antre follicle count scan to see how many follies I have cos said that if I don't have any this month he is not going to start a cycle so would do the same next month until I have follies visible.

He also suggested some bloods which I'm going to ask my GP to do for me to save some money!

This is the guy who got all the nhs pcts to offer AMH tests to patients.

He wants to do some investigations to basically rule out any blood, uterus or other reasons for our miscarriage given my zero AMH cos doesn't want to take the chance I could get pregnant to then miscarry.

Got an appt at care Manchester next week so see what they have to say plus I'm thinkin of going to the fertility show in London this weekend. Anyone been before? Thought it would be an opportunity to get advice from all the top London clinics. Anyone been got any advice?

Jo- Aww what a wonderful feeling that must of been seeing your lil bean for the 1st time! i just can't imagine it. Hope everything goes well now x

MrsE- I have never been the fertility show but have a good time an let us know what it was like x

Hi to Lindy, Sharkey, Lisa, Susie, Laura, Bugs, Melbram and all the gang x

AFM- Was crippled with period pain all day in work and now im lying in bed still in pain but eased off. I honestly now believe i have endo and i am going to demand a lap to check this as the last lap i had was 2.5yrs ago with my 2nd ectopic. Regarding the appeal Mr K said he will discuss at our appt on the 20th so nothing going to happen before then. Its getting me down now. I just know we will end up paying an its exhausting me now xxx

Hi ladies

Need a bit of help I'm normally a 28 day cycle lady longest has been 35 days but that was directly after our mc earlier this year. Since then I've been between 29-32 days. Well I'm today in day 35 all of the past week I've felt AF was on her way and really bloated but today I feel totally normal. I Ov later this month around day 20. I did a test two days ago but not with first urine of the day but said not pregnant. Not sure what is going on - I'm trying not to be excited cos of the neg two days ago but this is VERY unlike me I'm like clockwork. I know I Ov only 2 wks ago but thought it would show on test by now. I'm getting too scared to test again - almost don't want to go out and buy a test cos Sod's law AF will show.

Any suggestions? I'm terrified if we are or not cos of our mc! I know it will one amazing true miracle given my AMH so need you to give advice and courage pls!!!

X

 

[Lisa40]

Awww MrsE

there's always hope until the ugly shows her face, I don't really have any advice, I just wish you lots & lots of luck &
x

 

[susiesue]

MrsE no real advice I'm afraid other than hang in there and we are praying for your miracle! I would get a decent test and use first morning urine, it's scary but better to know. If af doesn't show over next few days you could see if gp would do a blood test? They may agree given your situation. I have everything crossed that this is your time xx

AQ I'm still hoping to come on sat but haven't asked my dad yet about having the baby so will do that tonight. Would be great to meet you all xx

Gemz glad the funeral went ok and hope things have been ok back at work. x

Lisa how's yours lo getting on? Hope you are settling into a routine and not too tired x

Hi to everyone else x

 

[Lindylou]

Mrse- it's hard because while you don't do your test you have the hope that a natural miracle has happened. I did a CBdigital and FR at the same time about a week after Af was due. Fx ivf has kick started something inside.

Sorry I have been AWOL, had so much going on in work and people visiting I'm absolutely exhausted. Feel like I'm coming down with the flu, got a pounding head sore throat and sniffles, but had my flu jab a few weeks ago. DH has run me a hot bath and I'm goig to curl up on the sofa feeling sorry for myself!!

Hope everybody is doing ok? Will read back through posts I've missed.

Love to all. Xxxxx

 

[Melbram]

Hi gang - hope you are all well

MrsE how strange - I am in the same boat as you!

I am not so regular - anything between 30-36 days is normal for me but I am now on day 43! I was spotting a few weeks ago and remember thinking it was strange because I never have spotting and the thought of implantation bleeding crossed my mind for a split second. I have also been spotting on and off over the last week but very very little

I have done a strip test today and got a BFN and really dont think Im pregnant but where is AF - very very strange - just want everything to get back to normal ready for when I start round 2..I have also had a headache everyday for the passed 9 days

 

[MrsE75]

Knew it was too good to be true AF appeared this afternoon. Hope you have better result than me Melbram xx
