[tina11]

hnfc- that is great news. I am in for my day 5 scan on sat :0) so might see you. when did you start your gonal? does not feel like long at all.

I think i am about 1 week behind you.


Dollyandra- hope you are ok. have you have spoken to the clinic?


I am on day one of af as i started after 12 yesterday. am a little worried as it is not as heavy as normal. mind you was similar last month

Hey I've had an email of Ali and to those that are interested he said they are having a meeting end of this month with a pcos specialist and should start the next trials possibly in august. Wooohoooo lol

Could someone give me a step by step guide of what happens on the trial

 

[Dollyandra]

Hnfc and Tina good luck!

I'm ok thanks, more bleeding and more clots and cramps (sorry for tmi). Clinic said to keep taking meds and test on Friday as planned. They agreed with me that I shouldn't get my hopes up. This reason I would have bled so early and the progesterone not keep af away is because neither embryo would have implanted.
I'll keep you guys updatedx

That is great news 3wishes, i have polycystic ovaries and last week Ali told me to call Marion tomorrow to arrange an appointment.
Understand at the appointment there possibly would be a scan and bloods taken, but after that I am not sure. I can see many people have had lots of scans. Think this is going to be very tricky with my work, but will have to let work get funny with me about it as don't want to pass up an oppurtunity to be part of the trial.

Dollyandra - really sorry to hear your latest news, please do try and keep positive, alot easier saying it that doing it but do try. Thinking of you its a hard situation to be in, i've been in a similar situation xx

 

[lamara.foster]

Dolly - I am sorry to hear things are not looking up, still dont give up yet.

3Wishes - Its about time you got that email huh! Youve been waiting for a long time on here.

April - Hiya, hows things going?

AFM - I ovulated yesterday and since then my temp has been high I cant handle it in this heat! I am hoping I get accepted Thursday and get told I can start on my next cycle. No such luck ever happens for me lol. I can wish though. If not then I think I will probably get accepted onto the PCOS trial because I can see the only thing holding me back is the cysts on my ovaries.

I have my appointment at Southampton at 10am tomorrow to find out the exact reasons that I didnt get accepted onto the Egg share scheme there after 6 months. Here is hopingits nothing serious.. sounds weird saying it but I just hope I am a Cystic Fibrosis carrier and nothing Genetically wrong.

Hope everyone is doing well and Dolly I hope you are a miracle lady who gets a sticky xxx

 

[wellsk]

So sorry to hear of all the problems dolly

 

[april0308]

Hi Lamara. Things are good with me. Anxiously waiting for 4th August to come as I'm due then and will find out if my last round of clomid has worked. If not hopefully when I call Marion tomorrow I will be able to arrange an appointment to see if I can get on the trial. When I last spoke with her she wasn't aware of a trial for pcos but told me to call again tomorrow when she is in. I think she just deals with appointments rather than knows what clinical trial it's for.

Good luck for Thursday and look forward to hearing all about it xx

 

[lamara.foster]

Marion is dr carbys receptionist I believe. Handles appointments I'd doubt she would know much about the trial she must be a busy lady as it is. I hope clomid does its job this month for you so you don't have to worry about getting on the trial. It's nerve wracking. Thanks for the good luck wishes I need them good luck to you too xxx

 

[tina11]

Dollyandra- i am so sorry to hear that iy is not looking good for you. but miracles can happen. i pray you get a bfp

April- hopefully you get a bfp from your clomid. so yuo dnt even have to worry about the trial.
good luck with your appointment, i have booked time of work during part of the treatment this time. But last time i had to take time of last minute and they were not too impressed.
where do you live? i live in london so its not too bad for me.

Lamara.foster- good luck for wednesday, you should not have any problems getting onto one of these trials so try not to think about it. omg i can not handle this heat at night. i love itotherwise but find it very difficult to sleep.

afm- day 1 of gonal- really excited. Hubby is away with work so doing it myself. i am quite use to it from the last cycle

xxx

 

[Dollyandra]

Tina, hope all is well. I know you had to wait three cycles before you could start again but did that include the bleed from the bfn cycle? So bfn bleed, then two more and start with that cycle? Hope that makes sense!

 

[april0308]

Lamara - thank you, I hope so too but I really doubt it will, it is doing its job of making me ovulate, but just can never get the bfp. We'll see, at least now there is hope of possibly getting on the trial.

tina11 - thanks, good luck with your treatment. I live in East Sussex, so 2-3 hour journey up there depending if I drive or get train.

May I ask, if your first attempt at this ivf doesnt work, are you able to try another cycle, or is it just one try each?

thanks xx

 

[tina11]

Dollyandra- yes I had to wait 3 bleeds, which does include the the one straight after bfn.
I had my first dose of final f today. Slight headache right now but nothing else.

April - yes you have quite far to travel. You can have the scans early at 7.00 so may be able yo make it back...and avoid the traffic. Unfortunately I think they only allow one go each.

Xxx

 

[lamara.foster]

Tina I hope the injections are going well for you not long and you will be pupo and smiling.

April if you're ovulating then you have a good chance of it working fingers tightly crossed for you.

Dolly I hope you are alright.

As for me I just came back from my old clinic. I got all my results. Turns out I don't carry cystic fibrosis but I have a greedy gene in my genetics. Number 13 in my genes stole part of number 15 and that puts me at a higher risk of miscarriage they said that prevents me being an egg donor.
So other than that I'm a fit and healthy young woman he said nothing to worry about there. Xx

 

[april0308]

Thats good that you do not carry that Lamara, least you now know and that you are fine otherwise. Was that all found out through a blood test.

I have an appointment for the 1st Aug to speak with Dr Carby to discuss things was the last appoitment they could offer me and feel it is fate as that date last year was when I have my ovaries drilled so had to take it xx
