Bundles, that's SUPER exciting news. congratulations!
Yearning, did anyone tell you about icing before you do the needle? It's meant to take the sting out (the medication is likely making that happen) and reduce the bruising. Hopefully it gets easier.
AFM, just checking out donor clinics incase the IVF fails. I've picked a donor with one clinic and frustratingly can't see the images of the donors on the site that the clinic primarily uses. One clinic charges $16-17,000 for 6 eggs and guarantees pregnancy (they give you new frozen eggs if it doesn't work with the first batch). They have a donor there that looks very similar to myself, less the curly hair and 2 inches in height. The other clinic doesn't guarantee a pregnancy but they have extremely high rates of success and only charge $10,000 for 6 eggs. My clinic uses them primarily but they have less donors to choose from.
I'd be willing to travel to the USA if it's more successful to do a fresh cycle with a donor, especially if it's by the ocean where I could get a day of surfing in and possibly some shopping
I really just want to have a plan B set up to go asap the minute they tell me my eggs aren't growing. And if I get surprised and my eggs grow, well, I'll be over the moon!
Mummy how's everything with you?
Has anyone heard from Melbram?
Pinkie & Ducktales I hope you're both OK too, Ducktales hope you're feeling better.
14 eggs is a great number though, fingers crossed for a good fertilisation rate for you. Rest and let OH look after you xxx
let's see how long it takes my estradiol to go down
