IVF with PGD #5

[Kmn]

I had a happy ending. There are some others who had a similar amount of waiting and then didn't though.
The chromosome counting version of PGD shouldn't have a huge wait - which clinic are you at?

Hi!
Nice to see some action in this thread!!!
My test was pretty simple and chromosome related also, it took 12 weeks with SIVF. So for that i was lucky.
Ive had 2 cycles, one on the pill and one off. Your first cycle in some cases ends up being a trial as it doesn't work the same for all people. Thats what happened to me and my 2nd cycle was much better.
Make sure when the time comes to start you come back to this thread, we may not be doing PGD often but we are always lurking and will give you the support you need!!!

Thanks Jaki. Sounds like my testing might be similar to what yours what. I'm so impatient when it comes to getting things I want that even 12 weeks sounds like such a long time, lol! Definitely worlds better than 1 year though, let alone 3...

I'm going through Monash IVF and most of my appointments will be in Sunshine with Dr Weston, but some of them (like the pgd appointment we had last week) are out in Clayton. I think Dr Weston also mentioned that at least one of the procedures might have to be done out there because that's where the pgd lab is. Although, I'm sure he also mentioned having procedures done at Western Day Surgery which is next door to his office. I'll ask again on Wednesday.

Thanks for all the support. It's such a new thing to be going through, and with us not telling people (besides my mum) IRL, it's nice to be able to talk about it

I have wonderful news! I had my appointment with my FS today and as soon as AF comes (which is any day now) we are going to start the IVF cycle! For the first time ever it seems that having private health insurance is paying off, because when I asked about whether we would have to wait long for the lab, he said that because I'm going private (and because our test is relatively simple) that there is no wait at all for us! I was speechless (but with a big grin on my face)!

I'm seeing his nurse on Friday to organise all the meds (unless AF shows up tonight or tomorrow morning, in which case I'll be going in tomorrow to see her). Pretty much everything will be done in Clayton due to the lab being there, but I don't mind having to drive out there for such a worthy cause

Great news indeed!!!
Sounds like you are doing a 'short cycle' if you are waiting for AF to arrive.
Keep us posted!
