How exciting about your scan!! You must be over the moon!!
AF is "Aunt Flo" - your period. Sorry for all the acronyms!!
I think I'll do Acu before and after again this cycle too, but not doing it every week leading up and every second day after transfer, just cost me too much money
I know what you mean about the cost. It all adds up so fast. I only did it leading up to transfer and then before and after on the same day of transfer. After that they said I should avoid acu stimulation until at least 6 weeks to just let the body settle in.
Oh BF i really hope that it all works out in that time frame, It's so hard to not stress out when your relying on your body to do something specific in a set window of time. What kind of stuff did you find online about regulating your cycle?
Co-indecently AF came the day of our FS appointment, I was sort of starting to freak out thinking that it might not come, and what if it's doesn't come next month! LOL oh how the mind torments. So yes we are aiming to do a cycle this month, hopefully my next period is 'on time'.
Jess! That is super exciting about your scan very happy to hear everything is going so well. Yeah we are really hoping that acu will do the trick, it's definatley helping me feel more focused and positive.
I'm in Melb & the person I see is very reasonably priced $45 (well i think so) but it all adds up especially when your doing PGD as you can all appreciate.
That's awesome JBear, so glad you are cycling this month!!! woohoo!!! also, $45 is a total bargain, my guy was twice that price! Keep it up double time LOL!!!
I didn't find much about regulating my cycle. I have started taking vitex as a possible assistance, but really... it's not that scientific. I have been doing reading about medicated vs natural and there doesn't seem to be much in the difference of success rates, natural slightly higher perhaps, just more of an inconvenience and a lot of ladies seem to really dislike the drugs.
I am just hoping my body had a shocker couple of months and I'll be right next month. Meanwhile, the only sign of AF is my raging hormones and insatiable appetite...
I'm new here and found this place by googling for a forum with a group about IVF/PGD.
I am just starting the whole IVF/PGD process for a condition I (only recently) found out I had. So far we have seen the FS done some general tests to make sure my husband and I have no other fertility problems (Sperm test, blood tests, ultrasounds etc) and we have also seen the geneticist and talked about making a work up test etc. We are waiting to see the FS this Wednesday again to talk about the results and for him to write up a treatment plan so we can get started. Apparantly the work up test can take up to 12 weeks and we were supposed to start that last week but the nurse wasnt available to take our blood which we were a bit annoyed about as I can't get another day off from work until the end of the month.
The FS also wants us to do ICSI and CGH so we will be doing all frozen transfers.
I really wanted to join a group where other people are going through something similiar so I can talk about it (I am a member of another pregnancy forum and love it but no one else there has been through PGD). So I can't wait to talk to all of you
I'm so anxious to get started with the IVF and hate all this waiting so need some distractions to help pass the time .
Look forward to getting to know all of you (sorry about the long intro post).
