I remember you Julie37! Congratulations!!!!

Hi hun,

Why do you need the immune suppression?

Xx

Hi ladies,

I’m thinking of starting my last ivf cycle June/July, but feeling nervous about the virus etc. Can you ladies tell me what it is like at the clinics?

Xx

Hi,

I’m in a similar boat...many failed treatment cycles.

I’ve never heard of the gel. Sounds promising! I’ll be asking about it at my review!

Hi, I have a 4 year old daughter from ivf at Care Manchester. I’ve been trying for a sibling ever since she was six months old. I have had countless failed ivf attempts and am getting really fed up of this ivf limbo. If you decided on donor egg and were successful I’d love to hear your story and how...

Any positive tests ladies?
Sure hope so!!!
Xx

Great news Sophia! 7 cells is right where it should be.
I think you made the right choice to put two back. Have you had an update on your last embryo?

I hope you all get your positive! I’m keeping everything crossed!

Hi Hope, I haven’t tried myoinositol. I think the Zita West clinic sells it. Do you take it? When I had my natural pregnancy, I had mentally decided to stop ivf, went on holiday, drank wine every night, and that was the month I got pregnant. I wasn’t stressed. However, making it to 11 weeks spurred ...

So happy for you Sophia. Well I think my doctor thinks I should use donor eggs, but he’s agreed to let me just try timed intercourse if I want to. Basically since I only product a few eggs, I could take menopur but then just have sex with no egg collection. I suppose I knew the donor egg talk was co...

Thanks guys. I have a review on the phone tomorrow with Dr. Sedler. I’m hoping he will let me try again soon. I don’t feel too bad mentally. Just frustrated. I’m hoping he won’t tell me I need donor eggs just yet, although I’m open to that and thankful that there is that option and ladies that want ...

Hi Happyangel,

Did you have your review? I was reading your post and I just had the same thing happen with empty follicles. Did your consultant give you any advice? I’m 40 soon with nk cells too. Xx

Well they only retrieved one and it didn’t fertilise.

That’s great news! 10 is fab! Do you think you would put back one or two? Xx

12 eggs is great! Glad it went well and you can relax with your takeaway! I think this is the worst part of ivf - waiting around for phone calls. Glad your fiancé managed ok. It must be very stressful for the guys knowing everyone is waiting for them.
When are you getting married?

Yes that’s her. Lots of blonde curly hair. My trigger shot is midnight tonight and then in Monday. I’m hoping they will get 3 eggs tbh. I’d be happy with that as my reserve is so crap. I’ve had a lot of egg collections so they don’t make me too nervous. I kinda like be zonked out for a while! Last t...

Oh is he from South Africa? I think he did my egg collection once.
Is he more into the immunology stuff?
Do you have nk cells?

Well tbh, I haven’t been thinking too much about the steroids as I’ve been more worried about having any eggs to collect. Right now, I have an 8, 15, 17 and 21. My EC is Monday but I’m worried about losing the big one by then. I think I will definitely add in the steroids if I get to a transfer. I r...

How are things going Flash?
Xx

Good luck doomkitty for Saturday! I’m scheduled for Monday too Sophia. I’ve got another scan tomorrow. I think they are hoping my smaller ones will catch up, although I’m worried my lead follicle will be too big. I think I did see you! I was at the reception desk buying drugs with my husband and I h...

Hi Sophia, Were you at Manchester? I was there today around 10. I’ve got a 16, 13, 12 and 10.5. So will have to wait and see what happens. I’m going back for another scan tomorrow. Don’t suppose you feel sick at all on meriofert? I was really ill two days ago and can’t eat. Annoying as I’ve been try...

I’m not sure Care Manchester offers testosterone, but I’ll ask.
How long do you take that for?
I’m taking supplements from that book but not the DHEA.

Xx

Thanks. What was your cancelled protocol and what did they try this time? I don’t get many eggs but it’s so much money to only get one more than I’d usually get. Xx

Hi,

I’m thinking about cancelling my cycle. I only have two follicles going anywhere. I’m on the short protocol, 300 meriofert, and I’m 39. Have a scan tomorrow but can’t see it improving.

Xx

My scan was crap. Only 3 measurable a 10, 11 and 13.
Sigh. Going back Wednesday. Xx

I know what you mean about the supplements. I take a lot but don’t know if they’re actually helping with anything. I’ve been trying to up my protein and veggies a lot. Sat here eating chicken and a bowl full of steamed kale! Yuck.
