IVF/ICSI @ Liverpool Womens Hospital

[BabydustxXx]

Hey thanks for all the lovely welcoming messages. I had been reading comments (stalking you guys) on this thread for a while now (since feb when I first got referred to LWH) but never had the courage to post anything. I am so glad I did now. It reassuring that what I am feeling is not unusual.

Got my consolation letter through today. It's on 8th June, Got another 4 week wait. How will I cope???!!! I guess I have you guys to keep me occupied.

Good luck Laura

[africaqueen]

Fab news Laura! u will soon be jabbing again! lol. Lots of luck hun x

Del- I am thinking mid July for me to start DR too if my dates work out. Ooh soo excited! x

Hi to everyone else

I was at LWH tonight intill 8.30pm at the Link meeting and Mr Kingsland was guest speaker which was intresting and he had us in stitches the way he was talking about fertility myths etc, aaah that guy is so funny! lol. Was lovely to meet some ladies from another forum i use too so had nice evening. Today in Southport was lovely. Had a nice lunch and relaxed then did some shopping. I went with my dad and it was fab xxx

 

[BabydustxXx]

Laura - that is great news, I'm all very new to all this but the sound 7 eggs fertilising seems like a good number.

Del - seems like we could be starting at the same time. If I'm working it out right I should DR on 1st or 2nd of July. How long do you DR for? About 2 weeks? If that's the case we should be starting the cycle together. I'm saying that but it all boils down to what the doc says on the 8th.

Hi girls, everyone ok? Did u get through 2 them ar lwh today laura? When will u be starting your injection? Day 21 of this cycle or have they changed your protocol to the short one like mine? Xx africaqueen,how's it going back at work? Xx Foxey hun how are things? Xx

[africaqueen]

Hiya Girls.

Foxey- Aww glad all is going well and im sure the break away will be lovely i would be too scared to fly whilst pregnant so we are looking at UK breaks for end of sep/oct
You will have to change ur info to pregnant instead of ttc ;-) an get a ticker on ur siggie so we can all Oooh an aaah at the bubs development. hehe x

Hope everyone is ok. I am just chilling tonight. This time next wk il be 30!!! aaah xxx

 

[Del xx]

Hi ladies!! Hope everyone has had a good day! Roll on the weekend!!

Foxey - glad ur ok hun and all is well with baby. Enjoy the hols a break will be lovely for u xx

Seems that a lot of us will be starting around the same time with our cycles!! I have a good feeling about July, lol!!

I'm sure it was nice to meet up with the other ladies Africqueen. Hope ur still on that high feeling xx U ok Laura? xx

Babydust - Just fished out my treatment booklet to check the time scale for u. I down regd for 17 days (Buserelin injections) and then was on the stimulation injections
( Menopur) as well as the Buserelin for 9 days.You then have a HCG injection 36hours before egg collection. It deppends how well u respond to the drugs with the time scale I suppose,I responded well, too well infact!!! That's why I had OHSS.
I didn't have any medication with my frozen embryo treatment as I went with my natural cycle. From what i've understood I won't be down reg with the short protocol in July. I hope this helps u!!! I'm sure the doc will give u the go ahead on the 8th if u've had all your tests done. Fx hun! xx

 

[africaqueen]

Hey Laura. Glad your so positive hunni i can feel the positive vibes in here and im sure it can only mean fab times to come xxx

 

[laura25]

hehe yeah im positive! lol
im determined to not get stressed out or down about ewt at the mo coz it doesnt help anything hehe! xxx

 

[africaqueen]

Yeah hun.
One thing i have learnt over the yrs and particulary last yr is- what will be will be. No matter how much we worry/stress if things are meant to work out they will do.
I stressed so much over both my pregnancies and the worst possible outcome other than death happened and its taught me to live each day and just hope for the best and i sure do hope for a ton of bfps on here this summer ;-) xxx

Hi All

I am new to this, been to see a fertility consultant today and he is going to refer me and my wife to Liverpool womens hospital for a chat with the fertility consultant there regarding IVF.
WE are a same sex couple and have been TTC for the past 2years using a donor and AI at home but with no joy.

can anyone provide us with a little more information as to how long they had to wait for an initial appointment, is there any NHS fining etc.

Many Thanks
