I don't mind you asking at all. Lyndon works in the Freemasons medical centre, the same building as MIVF, the actual address of his suite is on the MIVF website (well worth having a look at too).

We got 7 eggs yesterday, I did a down reg cycle with microgynon and syneral and then I did a stim cycle with syneral and puregon, I think it's a fairly standard cycle. The down cycle was about a month (from the first day of my last period) and I had a bleed and then had a scan and starting the stim jabs the next day for 8 days then another scan where they worked out if I had responded to the stim drugs. Once they said I had enough follicles I had my trigger shot the following day. So all up if I was to count days from my last proper period I have been going for about 46 days, so it's really 2 cycles, I hope this makes sense. They have a great overview of the cycle on their site as well which will explain much better than I have.

The thing we liked so much about MIVF is their continuity of care. I have seen Lyndon for all my scans, pickup and tomorrow for the transfer. Even though you see different nurses, they are all really nice and always helpful when you ring to ask them things.

With regard to being ready, I am a big believer that the waiting and not doing anything can be much more stressful. I haven't been stressed under Lyndon's care at all. He is very calm and caring and moves along really quickly once you start to see him. If you think Jan or Feb is a good time for you to start and are interested in seeing him I would make an appointment and get a referral organised as he always has a 3 month (minimum) waiting list.

Best of luck and please let me know if you need any clarification on anything I mentioned. Lyndon was recommended to me by my gynea and another member of BB spoke really highly of him as well.

Will fill you in tomorrow on how we went with fertilisation.

Cheers
