Happy birthday Bugs! Hope you have a fab night!

No news at the moment from me, next appointment is Friday 11th October- still hoping we might be able to start our first round of ivf at end of oct or November. Although my acupuncturist has said if its going to be late on in the year she thinks we should wait until January!!
Omg, the waiting is killing me!
So tempted to get another puppy.......

Hope everyone is well xxxxx

Happy birthday Bugs xx

Hi Victoria - I don't have any personal knowledge of natural ivf nor do I know anyone who has been through it. Have you seen the thread on this board about it? Xx

 

[Victoria1976]

Nope but also looking at private costs now... Presume climic don't charge for tests and consults they already did?

Hi Clarke... Xx

 

[clarkea]

Hi there x

 

[Sharkey]

Hi everyone Hope you all are okay xx

Just thought some of you girls might want to read this with regards to low amh etc!!! It's very Interesting Indeed x

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-24332772

If the link doesn't work then search " early menopause " on the BBC News website.....

Lots of Love

Sharkey xxxx

Thanks for the birthday messages ladies. Victoria I've seen a little on natural IVF it seems to be cheaper as you don't take vast amounts of drugs and as it suggests they work with your natural cycle sometimes using clomid to stimulate you and they aim to retrieve just a very small amount of eggs in the aim that they will be of better quality. The success rates are a lot lower than standard IVF though. I think it's normally recommended for older ladies or ladies with a low AMH. I considered it but decided it wasn't for me xxx

Hi everyone.

Did you all see Prof Kingsland on the bbc news talking about the awakening ovaries breakthrough before? he was very articulate and explained the process 'beautifully' to quote the newsreader. Lol. Gives a glimmer of hope to those of us with DOR but i would imagine it to be super expensive as still in its infancy xxx

 

[Likklegemz]

H AQ, I didn't see it! I should like to see it, do you know if its on BBC iplayer? I saw the article though and it was fascinating. Mant to post it online earlier, but sharkey posted it before me!

Not much on my end, ate something on Sunday that didn't agree me and I've had nothing but vomiting and diarrhea since! Finally calmed down this morning so nice to be back to my usual self. Sorry for lack of personals but wanted to poop in and say hello!

Love to all x x x
