we are off to see our FS next month (the 18th) and hoping we get the go-ahead to start a cycle ASAP.... AF is due afew days after our appointment so fingers crossed we can start then if not it will be december/january
we only got 2 eggs out in our first cycle both fertilised but only 1 embryo survived...one of the nurses there tried to talk me out of it prior to egg pick up but our FS said "ÿou only need 1" and that 1 embie split and it was a twin pregnancy but sadly we lost our other bubba at 5 12 weeks gestation
Wow goodluck then katones its exciting once it all gets started again. I am sorry you lost your baby, its hard isn't it. It was lucky the nurse didnt talk you out of it. You were so lucky to get your baby out of your first attempt, its nice to hear stories of it working out first go for some people. I am still in a blur as to why my DH and i are still trying to concieve number 1 after 4 attempts! i just never thought it would take this long. I have a good feeling about this next STIM but iv been hurt to many times and i dont want to be let down again so im trying to keep focused on other things. My sister is having a cesarian on the 19th nov which is her first and im having the day off to be there and im so excited. And christmas is always a good focus i am hoping for a christmas suprise, it would be the best gift ever. Anyway take care xx
Katones-we were over our medicare threshold but they didnt know that they just said when you pay the $1450 and once we recieve the medicare check we give you $750 back and that is exactly what they did so we got pregnant off our 1st go and it only cost $700 we did not claim it back through medicare it was westmead that sent us the check ask them about it maybe you have to be over the threshold to get it im not sure.
Wow I have to say this is all quite confusing, I'm going to a free info night with Monash IVF here in Townsville on the 25NOV10, so hopefully they will be able to give us some straight answers then
i just booked in with dr smith at westmead on the 11th feb 2011 so excited but so nervous!! did any of you try clomid before ivf and if so did u get side affects from that?? i did it for 3 months but stopped responding also on the site it says 1450 but meds might cost more.. how expensive r meds or its that only if u need extra??
I paid nothing extra for meds except orgalutran as it was not on the PBS list at the time i did my cycle but i was told it went on the list in August so it should be in the total cost now i think the website info is a little miss leading i was expecting to pay extra for meds but even the crinone was covered i think it might depend on what meds you might need.
ok so i got an earlier app and went and spoke to dr smith btw OMG he is amazing!!!!!! just wondering about when they take the eggs out. as they just heavily sedate you do u feel it and do u remember it?
hey lisi im glad you got an earlier appointment! iv heard DR Smith is good. i dont want to scare you as everyone is different and the nurse told me most ppl go to sleep but with my first clinic i was put to sleep which was great but iv just had my EPU with westmead on tuesday last week and i was awake for the whole thing and hated it, it felt like i was in pain and could feel the needle go in but the nurse told me when your half out of it you can mistake pain for pressure. But like i said everyone responds differently, goodluck with it all i hope you get your BFP first go xxxxxx
if not it will be december/january
