Starting IVF/ICSI in July/Aug

[filipenko32]

Hello,
I went to the Bridge in London and was recommended it. I too would recommend it too as I found my Dr very good - Dr Summers - they do specialise in PGD so maybe worth a go.
Also there prices are competative compared to other clinics in London.

Good Luck

Thankyou! I was just looking at their website funnily enough. Is there a long wait time? Congratulations by the way! I was just looking at your first thread and I don't think you had to worry about people being with you!! x

No their waiting list is non existent - I think, we phoned up and booked a Saturday appointment with mr summers, then he suggested tests etc, wrote us a summary letter with revommendations then phoned us up with a start date once results were in. The initial bit does take longer than you wish, which happens at ever clinic. We had a failed first cycle at our follow up we decided what we wanted to do next. Dr summers listens to you and takes your feelings into account, which is really good.

I saw you've had 2 mc, sorry several of my friends have had multiple mc and both ladies now have 2 naturally conceived children. One was told by nhs nothing would be done till 3 mc ( no baby at 12 w scan and mc at 8w) other girl had 4mc and went private she was put on baby aspirin and progestrone support. In fact her dr suggested most couple having problems conceiving should try baby aspirin till 12 w to prevent clotting.....

I hope you get some good news and success soon x

Thankyou, yes I have heard lots of great things about aspirin! I have had 3 mc's now, well I'm having a d&c tomorrow for this 3rd one but I have already started bleeding today. We always get pregnant 1st try but we can't keep it and i've all the tests done which is why i think it's chromosomal bad luck and pgd might help. Think I will make contact with the bridge clinic on Friday. It's such a dfficult decision but in any case we're going to wait for the chromosome results of this baby which they send for testing after the d&c. If it's a normal will definitely try again with aspirin. Thanks so much for getting back to me x

I am very sorry to hear that you are going through this, I had a scare at 7w and thought it was all over so I can only imagine how you feel
I hope you get some answers ASAP xxxxx

Also my friend with 4mc would fall every time and it too would not stick but eventually she did get success - so there is hope, the journey is more painful but will be worth it in the end and will make you lo even more precious x
