IVF/ICSI @ Liverpool Womens Hospital

[JaneyM]

Oh babies I'm so so sorry. Will you contact the Hewitt? I'm sure they'll want to check everything. Or book you into EPU. I'm hoping you get another chance at some point in the future. Xx

Yippee Tina, it's great when things happen so you can get started. You're lucky that your AF behaves! Fingers crossed you get to stim as soon as possible. Xxx

Hope everyone's had a good weekend. We've had 2 pregnancies announced in our wider family & one of my NCT mummy friends. Unexpectedly, found it hard as they're due at the same time as my last pregnancy. (I had 2 friends tell me they were due at the same time as me the day after my miscarriage) brought it all back. Felt like it was easier for them in the first place and we've had to fight to get pregnant - and keep it. Life really isn't fair for people fighting for their baby especially their first baby.
We're on day 4 of progynova, so starting to feel a bit normal, DR made me feel anxious and irritable, only a week until the next scan! X

babies sending you th[/Be biggest hugs it's not fair that this is happening to you guys. What are you planning to do next? Do you have any embryos frozen?

Lovely that you got your daughter fish We haven't had any pets yet, barely find time to look after myself let alone animals!

No frosties. We definitely can't do ivf again.
Maybe in a couple of years try a round of iui with donor sperm. But I have heard u need several rounds which we couldn't do so it would be a long shot.
Also looked at embryo donation. When couples are complete with their family, but have extra they can give them to a clinic for other parents. It is more in countries where they can't legally destroy embryos.
But no money for anything right now and for a long time.

They told me at the scan last week they were not an accute centre and I shouldn't go there and go to a hospital if I had any more problems. There is no way I'm sitting in a and e for hours with my little one.
I have my ultrasound appointment with them next week so plan to keep that appointment and have them scan me to check everything gone. I paid them 6500 so its the least they can do in my opinion.

It's such a shitty situation babies, I can sympathise with you on the money side of things. We've spent about 14 grand now all in all and we have nothing to show for it as yet. It's sickening handing that much money over, we might not feel as bad if we had our take home baby at the end of it.

Janey, sorry that there has been so many pregnancy announcements. My sister and her partner are really broody but she won't try until we get our BFP. I told her not to dare put her life on hold for the sake of keeping me happy and that I would be so happy for her if she was pregnant but she's having none of it.

Babies I didn't go to A&E in Feb, I got GP appointment & they referred me to EPU, to scan and do follow ups. I really feel for you as it's the unknown of what's happening inside & you just want to know. X

Thanks Tina, I'm ok, just think IF is so unfair. I feel like my whole life is on hold again... waiting waiting and feels like others just get it given to them & they carry on as normal. Sorry I'm not as bitter as I sound lol x

 

[tinadecember]

Be as bitter sounding as you like! nobody knows what suffering from IF is like unless you have gone through it yourself. I suppose it's like depression in a way, nobody knows that you are dealing with it on the inside and it's a situation you can't really talk to people about so you just suffer in silence. That's why I am so glad that I have you girls to talk to otherwise I'd literally go insane.

Called the gps. They have put me down for a telephone consultation and can then ask to be referred to the epu.
I called the epu too and they wont see u until you are 6 weeks so the appointment would likely be the end of the week if the gp refers me. I'm not deluding myself to think there is a chance but should make sure everything is ok in there. I was just going to wait for the Liverpool hospital appointment next week but guess if I can see the epu this week and then liverpool scan me next week can make sure everything is going back to normal.

I know what u both mean about preg annoucements. I heard one over the weekend and while I don't begrudge them at all a part of u wonders why it is so easy for some people. She got preg 2nd month of trying.

 

[tinadecember]

Babies, I hope everything is okay at your appointments and you don't have to go down the D and C route, I don't think you will mind you if you are bleeding. It's so unfair, I hope you and your OH are going to be okay.

I'm in bed feeling so sorry for myself because my period cramps are really strong. I'm dosed up on paracetamol and ibuprofen but nothing is touching it! Just 13 hours to go until baseline. I'll update in the morning ladies, here's hoping there's a good number of follies

X

 

[JaneyM]

I'm glad you're hopefully not having to wait Babies. Thinking of you x

Good luck for your baseline today Tina. Hope it all goes well. Think lining needs to be under 4mm x

 

[tinadecember]

Hey girls,

so I have to go back on Thursday for another scan. I thought that may be the case because I only started bleeding 24 hours ago and my lining is still 8mm. Hopefully it will have thinned enough by Thursday to start stims

x

 

[babies7777]

Everything crossed for Thursday. I started stimms on day 3.

Got an appointment tomorrow at epu near me. Thanks Janey for mentioning it. I was just going to wait but I'm glad I didn't. Still red blood but not any heavier and its watery red. Af is usually thicker for me especially day 2. I guess there is still time but think best to get checked.

 

[tinadecember]

Thanks babies,

See this is where problems are gonna arise with everyone being on Norithesterone. Normally on CD1 you would call the womens and they would schedule your baseline for CD3/4 but because they give you a scan date in advance now you can be on any cycle day when you go in which for me is CD2. I literally only started bleeding properly yesterday at about 11am after spotting in the morning

Hi ladies babies I hope you get to the bottom of things one way or another. Tina your getting closer. So I tested today for ovulation and the clear blue is an empty circle but the internet cheapie is a deffinate positive. Just don't know what to do. I ovulate on day 12 which will be tomorrow. I don't hold much hope with the clear blue tests. Should I treat the Internet cheapie as my positive??

 

[rachel543_uk]

How do I post a pic??

 

[tinadecember]

I use photobucket to post pics Rachel, if you create an account and upload a picture it will give you a link to post to forums.

You're not having much luck with the clear blue tests are you! Are you having symptoms to suggest ovulation is close?

x

 

[rachel543_uk]

Yep all the signs are there like every month!! When I've searched on the net ppl say they don't use them as their no good!!

 

[rachel543_uk]

We got a smiley when I got home boom!!

 

[tinadecember]

Woohoo for the smiley!! Great news Rachel

Had quite a bit of cramping and bleeding this afternoon, hopefully my lining is shedding nicely X

 

[babies7777]

Back from epu.
Couldn't see anything and lining back to normal which considering I have not bled much at all and no clots makes me even more sure it was ectopic and my body managed it last Tuesday. Only thing that explains the intense pain and how from that point the tests got lighter and lighter. Glad to have closure.

Yay for positive Rachel. Best wishes for your fet.
Good news Tina for your lining.

 

[JaneyM]

Oh babies... I'm heartbroken for you. I know how you feel to have that hope and it be cruelly taken away. Sending lots of love and I hope in the future you get to try again x

Yippee Rachel, that's excellent. I did read your comments earlier and thought oh no not again. Exciting, only a few days to wait for you. Natural is so easier... especially if you get your smiley!!! x

Oh Tina, how frustrating but at least it sounds like it's full flow, imagine if you were waiting for AF to show her face! Fingers crossed you get the go ahead for stims tomorrow xx We should be very close if all goes well for us x

Day 5 of progynova and the discharge is ridiculous (TMI) only 12 more injections and 9 days until bum bullets.... feel like an emotional druggy! So glad I don't have to do this full time x
