Craving baked apples thats why I want my apples

Awww mumface, that sucks! My OH does stuff like that...but he normally comes back with biscuits instead If you want something done properly...

Feeling good today girls! I have booked my consultation at the Lister clinic, so in three weeks I will be officially starting my IVF journey! Getting my bloods drawn first, and apparently this clinic doesn't require them to be don over several months, so will be starting everything a bit sooner! I'm really nervous in case my eggs aren't good enough to share, though, and then we won't be eligible for the egg share scheme :/

How exciting!!!!!
I am currently contemplating hubby thinks I should go back to work 1-2 days a week. He says its no good for me feeding bub in front of tv 24/7....
Plus if you work 10 hours a week minimum for 10 of the 13 months leading up to having a baby you get $545 a week for 18 weeks maternity pay from government even if your work doesn't pay mat leave

Nlk do u take anything for egg quality? I believe there's an omega that boosts egg quality, it's the reason I get the black mores prenatals over elevit it had this extra thing in it that I looked up and it says improves egg/ cell quality and I thought that's exactly what I need!

 

[Aein]

So exciting nIk ... good luck dear

No, I don't take anything for egg quality...just my normal conception tablets, which contain loads of stuff! I'll look out for it, and see whether it's in my one. Thanks! I think it could be good for you to get out a bit, and have some adult company...it might be nice to have something else to do as well? And it's not for many hours. Would be worth the extra money for bubs#2?

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Yup if I work the 10 hours a week for 10 months leading up to bub 2 it's £354 a week for 18 weeks to you, otherwise ill just get a one off £550 !!

Plus it will come in handy earning some extra cash if clomid doesn't work and I gotta step it up to the dearer stuff! And if baby 2 is a girl ill go crazy on pink stuff!

Nlk how exciting - very soon you are pretty much guaranteed to be pregnant!!! I can't wait to hear all about your ivf!

 

[mumface26]

Good luck nlk! I hope it goes well, so if you egg share is the ivf free? How many rounds can you do?

Go back to work hopeful it will be worth it. The money you earn could be 'treat' money. Our mat leave pay from the government is £125 a week

Afm I am down we checked our finances last night and are still in the red dont get it on 31st may im going on a night out with work, all free drinks and food, its an awards evening and im my friends plus one, however.....i wont go now because I cant afford to share a taxi with her sounds really bad I cant scrape £25 together but we cant. Then we have his uncles wedding the day afterso no boozing there either.
Well, the main thing is our bills are paid, rent is paid and we have food in the cupboards.

mumface, if I egg share at this clinic, the only cost I will have is the HFEA of £75, which you have to pay wherever you go. And then if I choose to freeze some embryos, then I will have to pay £900 for the freezing and storage for the first year. But you can opt to fresh cycles, but obv more stress, drugs, etc.

I'm sorry you're struggling are you paying stuff off monthly? You're right though, the only thing that matters at the end of the day is that you can afford to keep a roof over your head, and food on the table. Is there no other way of getting to this do? £25 splitting for a taxi seems a lot to me. Or maybe explain to your friend? She might be able to help you out. Is there any way for you to pick up a few extra hours at work? Even just 2/3 extra...it would just mean you could put money away for relaxing etc, or pay off things a little quicker. Hope you can work something out

Ugh finances, been sorting them out this morning ragh! Still waiting on tax credits to get back to me about our claim (they take foreverrr) but the good news is i managed to reduce my monthly mobile bill and gas and electric monthly direct debit. Saved myself £70 in one morning woohoo.

Still going to struggle with £135 a wk mat pay

Our work places arent offering overtime right now as its not busy enough. Yes paying off monthly and wouldnt want to borrow anymore on top of what we already owe.
The place the do is at is other side of manchester, dp only has a two seater car so he cant take us
I will sort something out

Hello ladies!!

I am 25 and was diagnosed with PCOS in 2007 when I was 19. My OB/GYN told me when I was 19 and when I was engaged to my hubby that when we were ready for kids I had to go see him right away. I shouldn't try on my own without him because of my PCOS. I stopped having normal cycles when I was 15 and they still have not regulated. When I was on BCP they were normal but that didn't help me as intended. I came off them and had one period and then straight back to irregular. GRRR.

We are currently waiting on test results from DH's fourth SA done last Friday. If he is still azoospermic we move on to biopsy and aspiration discussions. I can't help thinking that this journey is far from over. But it's good to see so many women getting their BFP's!!

 

[nlk]

welcome miki! Hope your OH's SA comes back better! How on earth did you manage to get four?! I struggled getting my OH 2 done, and when they came back different, they assumed the bad one was correct!

welcome miki! Hope your OH's SA comes back better! How on earth did you manage to get four?! I struggled getting my OH 2 done, and when they came back different, they assumed the bad one was correct!

My DH used to take testosterone injections. His first SA came back zero so they stopped his injections Nov. 2012 and gave him another one in Feb and March and they were both zero. The doc here and in Seattle concluded that the testosterone left his body a little later and that mid-May would be a full three months of testosterone free. We are waiting to see if it's an improvement. I sure hope so. I hate sitting by the phone waiting for info. I just want to know!!! I want to move on to the next step, so does DH.

But yes, four SA's. Our insurance said 4 SA's are deemed medically necessary. Hopefully they don't want another. He is done with those.

Hello Ladies,

I Would Love to Join Please.

I Got Hit By AF Early This Morning & I Should Be Starting 50mg Clomid From CD2-6 For 2 Cycle's & CD2 Is Tomorrow, I'm Excited, But Hoping My DF Get's Great SA Result's By Tomorrow As She Need's To Give Me The Go Ahead To Start Taking Clomid, Other Wise My Gynaecologist Don't Wont Me To Take Clomid As She Said There Would Be No Point If His SA Is Low. I Don't Want To Feel Let Down By My Gynaecologist, I'm Quite Worried, As I Will Need The Help To Conceive Just As Much As My DF Will If Result's Are Not Good & He Had A Cold When Test Was Done So Actually A Bit Worried That It Might Have Affected His SA Result's... DF Said To Just Wait Until He Was Better But My Stubbornness To Start Clomid On My New Cycle (Now) Persuaded Him To Do It This Cycle To Try And Get Result's In Before My Next Cycle... I Now Feel Like A Horrible Bitch. I Don't Know, I Guess I Just Want Every Thing To Go Good For Us Now. x X x

Blood & SA Result's Tomorrow FX'd...

SA Result's... Bring DF Some Luck...

Blood Result... Being Me Some Luck...

P.s I'll Update You All Tomorrow As Soon As I Get Result's & Hopefully (Praying - Amen) The Go Ahead & Hope You All Don't Mind Me Joining. x x x

Hi newbies :wave:

Welcome Jessica! If you're worried about your OHs, SA (and him having a cold) I would request another to be done. It can affect it quite a lot, and it would be unfair for that to tamper with his results. I know you're wanting to get clomid underway, but it's not worth being completely denied it! Although you want it, there really is little point giving you it if the SA comes back poor. There is a lot of leaway with it, but if it's really low, then there is no point just getting you to ovulate - it wouldn't be enough. Especially seeing as some people can have quite heavy side effects from clomid, which stay in your system for a while (I did!)

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Hi new girls!!!!!

Mumface, I know this might sound awful but if u want to go can u tell the other girl u can't go so she gets a taxi then say u decided to go last minute n get your man to drive u? Or say u and your man will be out that way that day anyway so you'll already be there and you'll meet her there? It's not fair u can't go just cos your expected to cab share!!

Thanks Hun, But I'm Actually Waiting For SA Result's & Go Ahead To Take Clomid, If It Turns Out To Be A Bad Result Then I'm Not Going To Take Clomid Behind My Gyn's Back, Without Being Monitored & My DF Will Have One Redone & Then We Will Have To Wait Another Month (Cycle) To See If The Cold Did Affect SA Result's. x X x
