Just letting you know I am still around - I wrote this deep and meaningful post about a week ago concerning life and the choices we make - which I poured my soul into - and the gremlins in the forum decided that I was no longer logged in and booted me into a sign on screen. I tried to go back but unfortunately all the post was lost.
Actually in retrospect it was probably too long and involved and I had a angel on my shoulder delete it!! Anyway after that I couldn't face rewriting it...and then life got busy...
Some good news for me - my SD has had his individual counselling session - and the group one is booked in for Wednesday next week.
I'll catch up with the personals shortly - thinking of you all...
Just letting you know that we've had the group counselling session (thank goodness) so the next step is ticked off.
SD's sperm comes out of quarantine late November, and then he has to do another blood test (which we weren't aware of). Then we have to have a group counselling session to talk about genetics, and then FINALLY that's it, we can go ahead with IUI.
Glad to hear everything is going well for you. Yes, my donor had the bloodtest after the 6months quarantine. This is to ensure he was still 100% healthy and therefore sperm 100% healthy...it's a good thing.
Well I dont remember where I was up to in here..but I did a full stim cycle..again and sadly it didnt work.
I have 2 embies in the freezer. I usually have 2 put in at a time due to age. I have decided to keep them on ice and do another stim cycle so I can build up a bank. I am so so scared that if I have a late miscarriage like last time (12 weeks), then curette..I have to wait 3months before doing anything. At my age the eggs are deteriorating monthly so I am just too afraid to keep waiting for everything. I have decided to take action and do another cycle. Depending on how successful I am..I will then decide if I do another or not. I am so so determined..I want it so so badly.
Glad to hear u sounding upbeat Gargy...
I'm sorry the stim cycle didn't work, and that you are feeling the sadness that goes with this...
Re: your plans: Amazing, isn't it, that once we are trying to concieve this way our lives become a series of logical plans - if I do this, then hopefully this will happen. I can see your determination. I hope and pray that these plans work for you.
Re: blood test - Thanks for telling me that. I can see the logic as to why. I just wish I knew the whole process, not bits and pieces. Maybe I need to chase it up with our FS.
I am feeling a lot better that things are actually moving. There were some dark, dark times there in the last 6 months. Still, I'm finding it hard to stay motivated at work. Thinking seriously of seeing a counsellor on my own - not to do with IVF (even our SD today confirmed that she seemed to be more worried about/interested in DH than me), and not DH's one (again, as he is more interested in DH than me). I thought about going to the work one, seeing it's work I'm having issues with at the moment. But not sure if bringing more people in the mix is going to help. I'll have to think about it...
