Hiya girls.

Foxey- how are things going? x

Laura- How u feeling hun? x

Well ladies, check out my new ticker!! went today an had the repeat rubella test rather than tomorrow as i got let out of work early, so asked the nurse when can we have our appt with cons and she gave us a appt for 4th aug!! next wk!! haha. She said its most likely that we will have to start on my next cycle not this one, but it depends on how busy they are etc so she will see what cons says at appt. I am just sooo happy either way as this has been a loooong time coming! also what was lovely today, i bumped into Nat P who started this post at the HC and its the first time we have met altho we have been close online for 18mths! lol. She is a truly lovely brave lady and her hubby is lovely too. Was a fab morning all in all xxx

hi ladies i dont kno if any of you can throw some light on this subject, brief history, i have 2 children who r 24yrs n 15 yrs, by violent x, which is y im no longer with him, been with the love of my life now for nearly 8 yrs, married 3.5. hubby doesn't have any children,i had been sterilized since last relationship, so we tried ivf in 2006 it failed, had reversal in sept 2007, 1st pregnant in april 08 then over the 22mths miscarried 5 times, been backwards n forward to liverpool womans, under mr sharma, mr farqueson, was refered to see a mr gazvani today, but ended up seeing i MR KINGSLAND he seemed really nice, almost immediatly said he'd put me on clomoid, no problems with that, but when i got home i googled him n to say the least i was shocked to see that there weren't any positive write ups about him, just bad ones going on about how he is sending couples abroad for illegal fertility treatment, has anybody anything good to say bout him, or are we gona have to kiss goodbye to our dreams to having a baby, sorry to go on....thank you for reading this....love donna xxxx

 

[africaqueen]

Donna,
Mr Kingsland is like god at the hewitt centre! lol. He has had so much success an is the clinical director but obviously bad news travels fast an is more exciting than good news. Mr K is a lovely straight talking man who has made it possible for hundreds of childless women to have babies, so i think the guy is fab and cnt wait to start my cycle of IVF under his team. It is also not illegal to have sex selection in Cyprus, this is why if couples ask Mr K about this he gives them the relevant info. He was actually guest speaker at our meeting and he talked openly about the stories in the news and he can laugh at himself but overall he is a very nice man who puts you at ease.

That is great news africaqueen. Are you on the short protocol?

I will be starting on my next cycle too, I need to ring up to order my meds so will be injecting sometime in sept. For all the ladies who have been through this do the drugs drain you? I'm a lecturer at uclan and mid September is when students come back and things get really busy and stressful around that time. it's draining at the best of times I'm worried the injections will make it worse.

 

[Del xx]

Hi lovely ladies! Everyone ok? Africa,Laura?X
Just a quick post. All went well with my scan today! I have some nice follies developing! Starting my second lot of injections tomorrow morning to stop me from ovulating early! Back in on monday and egg collection Thursday/Friday!!

Babydust,glad to hear that u will be starting soon. I did the long protocol the first time but they changed it to short this time round. The injections do make u feel tired as the weeks go on but I'm sure u will be fine,I'm a teacher and i worked right up to egg collection and then took some time off during the 2 week wait. Do u know which protocol your on? Xx

 

[laura25]

awwww thats brill news del! hope the follies keep growin hehe! awwww its goin sooo quick for u now! good luck hunny! xxx

That is great news, things seem to be moving fast for you. Grow follies grow! Make sure you drink lots of water to help them grow.

Iv been told I will be on the long protocol this time. I'm glad I'll be able to work right up until egg collection. I will be taking time off during my 2ww. I am not risking any work related stress.

 

[africaqueen]

U will need some time off in the run up to egg collection for scans babydust. I had to take half days or sometimes a whole day depending on the time of the scan because I live so far away. Scans can also be at very short notice when they are monitoring the growth of your follies. I had to tell them at work that i was having treatment,they were very understanding. Hope this helps u plan ahead a little Xx

 

[foxeydevil2]

Good luck del another bfp soon enough, yes my pregnany is going really quick.

africa im good thank u and baby is doing well, im six months today cant believe it.
september will soon be here, well be in august next week.

laura hows it going? u gone back to work? i had the first 13 weeks off after my positive test and also had the treatment off from egg collection! ive also been off this last 6 weeks due to my insomnia. all in all ive worked 6 out of 26 weeks so far but my work havn't been to helpful with me at work so being on the sick is best for me and them. i need to be back by 32 weeks tho otherwise they can force me on maternity. bare all this in mind and take some time off! work cant touch u when ur pregnant and u need to take it easy especially the first 12 weeks. i wasnt risking anything after what we'd been thru.

hope everyone else is good and gets their bfp's soon xxxxxxxxxxxx

thanks for this Del it really helps. I'm extremely organised and have to plan everything in advance. Im driving DH nuts because I'm not in control of this treatment and I can't plan it.

Africaqueen - that is great news, I'm really nervous about starting the treatment, like you its my 1st cycle. It's reassuring to know I'll have a
IVF/ICSI buddy
