Long term TTC buddy wanted!!~UPDATED~Most of us did it!! ~

[cazd]

OMG Obe - its actually happening!!!!

SO you're having ICSI? That's what we're in line for - so you have to have injections?
please - tell me all about it!

Girls... I reckon - where there's cash involved - ICSI is the way forwards... its where they inject a sperm into an egg to guarantee fertilisation. far more hopeful than IUI.

Well.. I'm on CD2 of Cycle 14 and praying that my little chemical m/c last month means I'm more fertile this month. Well that's what I've heard

so.... who's next for a ?????

 

[sparkle83]

me please! I just watched a video of ovarian drilling and OMG thats horrid! come on ovaries, get your act together before we have to do that!!

 

[cazd]

yeah - the sound of the words ovarian drilling - just horrible!!!!

you HAVE to drop a before that!!

 

[obe]

Sparkle - I really hope you dont have to have it done and you get a BFP soon!!!! FX

Thanks Caz, yes we are having ICSI, they said it was our best chance due to my OH motility.
Im having the Prostrap which is a single injection which lasts for 4-5 weeks. The nurse said we will get a huge box of drugs but they will go through it with us when we go back on the 15th Feb.
This is the plan they have given me so it should give you an idea of what happens:
- Baseline Scan on the 15th Feb
- 1st day of period (should be 1st March) I take Prostrap injection
- 1-2 weeks later I have a pre-stimulation scan and start stumulation of ovaries
- Day 6 or 7 another scan
- Day 8/9 or 10 scan and arrange egg collection and HCG injection
- 35-37 hrs later egg collection and seman sample
- 2-5 days later Embryo transfer
- 2 week wait!!!!
I cant believe its actually happening! I just hope every thing goes ok in the run up to it and its not all moved back.

bloody hell - that's a LOT!!! Of course... I'd just said to OH that they inject the into the egg but I'd totally overlooked one important part....
How do they get the eggs out?

 

[obe]

Yes, thats the bit im really not looking forward to!!! They do give you plenty of drugs but your not knocked out.They put a needle through the wall into your ovary.
Hows evertone getting on at the moment??
