Starting egg share buddy wanted.

[pcct]

I think that's exactly how I will feel, as the past few months I have already been feeling like it will work ect but am so scared but at the same time I don't want to worry my self I wanna just go with flow and take it all from there! Oh and I think I will be testing at home as I have just been looking thru all my papers and it 17 days after transfer before otd!!

Will you be finding out schoolteacher? X

Nope we're staying team yellow and then DH will look and tell me instead of midwife at the birth! X

Hi all! G3mz glad your gonna start soon just prepare for the fact that it may be after Xmas now, I had my first failed ivf in October last year, and the first thing they said when I rang us was 'it will be January before the next one'. I was so disappointed! That was my clinic tho, it's because we are egg sharers an the recipients often don't want to do the treatment near Xmas. January is the busiest time in most clinics apparently! X

Bumski- lots of people have success first time- I just wasn't one of them tho x

Have been lurking and reading your journeys, congratulations and good luck to those still waiting.

Basically I'm living in Northern Ireland and on waiting list for ICSI. No where here in the 2( yes 2) clinics does egg sharing for free or discounted Ivf.

Looking at places in England but had a few questions :

Have any if you had to travel a considerable distance to your appointments? Is this logistical nightmare?

Roughly how many scans and appointments did you attend until your ET?

AMH results- did any of you have a high result not a low one. Got mine the other day which was 94.8! Great lots of eggies but risk of OHSS.

I meet all the criteria but AMH worries me- I've responded well to Gonal-f with IUI before so no history of ohss. No endometriosis either. BMi below 28 etc.

I would love to put myself forward for egg sharing but just wondering how feasible it is living across the water!

Any info greatly appreciated ! Good luck!

Thanks for replying guys! I'll keep tracking this thread did any tid bits of info I can get lol! I'm under the impression a high AMH isn't as bad as a really low one? Low meaning it'll be hard to get a response to drugs .

I'm wondering whether flying over for appointments is a bit much? If there aren't that many it might be ok ... * sigh* such a nightmare waiting and wondering all the time, mean while friends and family are popping them out!

Hi hope and welcome x
I have a high AMH of 86 and unfortunately had to stop after EC due to a risk of OHSS, this was back in July and iv just had my embies put back this week.
I really don't think that is the case with everyone though and think my clinic was just being over cautious at that stage as I felt absolutely fine apart from slight bloating which most people get.
I have seen other women with a lot more eggs than me that have still gone on to do transfer though.
They will warn you of this happening but all clinics should keep a good eye on you to prevent it happening.
My clinic is approx 1hr drive away.
Apps were-
AMH test
More blood tests and scan
Initial consultation with dr and Councillor
Injection training
Blood test when started treatment
Another blood test and scan
Another blood test and scan
EC
And then it should have been back for transfer

I imagine if you explain the distance your travelling you could get most of the initial apps done in one go.
Hope that you understood that lol. GL to you x

Hi thanks so much for that! Sounds like we are fairly similar in terms of fertility issues, I have PCOS, been trying for 5 years, clomid x7 goes bfn, IUI with gonal f x4 bfn. I think I will ring a couple of the clinics I've been looking at and ask them a few questions, I have a lot if my results from the clinic I'm under now, hopefully they'll accept results from another clinic, ESP since AMH are valid for 2 years!

Worth a shot, I have to be proactive and try other avenues or ill go mad!

 

[bumski]

That's great you already have a lot of your tests done, could even knock the price down even more at some clinics.
I shouldn't see why they won't accept them, I hope they do for you but well worth giving them a call to find out anyway.
I hope you manage to get a clinic that suits you x

 

[bumski]

OMG OMG!!!!!!
Iv been really down and sure this was all for nothing

Well I actually caved yesterday and got BFN, think that just got me more depressed, so as it was a twin pack frer I couldn't resist the other today, peed on it and BFN again!
Literally 2 mins later I swore I could see something, couldn't see colour but could def see the 'line'
I have done hundreds of these before and never see this soooooo bring on the old poas addiction, off to Tesco I go and buy another, within 1 min it's there!!!!!
I am def not calling it my BFP yet as very faint lines scare me, but it's there and it's def pink this time!!!!
I'm too nervous to get excited yet but I still so over the moon, it looks like we are in with a good chance!!! Xxx
