Great news, J.Bear, b*f, and JoeSpratt!! How exciting!!
minniemouse - How are you? I hope you're okay.
Andie78 - Hello! I am new here, too. And I am driving myself crazy with the worrying and the googling and the trying to plan the unplannable. I hope we're both here for a short but sweet time!
AFM - I am in the process of an assessment cycle (have a history of no cycles/ very long cycles) and it looks like my body is finally doing something on its own so hopefully I can get this out of the way and start my IVF cycle very soon. I have been through ovulation induction in the past so I am familiar with the injections/scans/BTs but I'm pretty nervous about what's coming up with an IVF/PGD cycle. I just hope things go smoothly.
Just a quickie to say WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO to JBear! Awesome beta, I bet you and D are just thrilled!! I know what you mean about still being a bit afraid, I feel like that every day and will until this baby is on the outside & healthy!
Hi Andie - Sorry you needed to join us but glad you came over, it's been very quite in our old thread. Sounds like you me and elle will be cycle buddies as my epu is booked for 26th Oct.
J.Bear - Great HCG numbers whoooo. Stick well little bean
BF - So great to be having strong symptoms I hope thursday's scan is fantastic!!
Joe - I hope the time flys by to your scan.
Minnie - Hi sweetie.
Elle - I hope your body plays nice so you can start your cycle soon.
AFM - Found out yesterday that my acupuncturist/TCM will be away for 3 weeks right over my EPU and ET He has recommended someone else but I might go see them for a session soon to get a feel if they're the right person for me, bloody typical timing! I have been working hard at my diet and exercise but TCM guy says this is putting extra strain on my liver, I just can't win! I'm still going to keep it up, he'll just have to work hard to support my liver! Bit excited I'm on my last pack of pills (hopefully ever!) and start my Lucrin next tues, it finally feels like its starting.
Thank you darlings! So hard not to get a little excited and ahead of ourselves but i'm just trying to remain calm and take it a day at a time. I have another BT next week so hopefully my numbers are growing as they should.
Minnie your in my thoughts lovely, i hope the next appt helps and the next cycle you get lots of lovely eggs to choose from.
Hi Andie, sorry that you find yourself here. I would say that the biggest concern with PGD are the numbers of eggs that are collected and can be biopsied and then how many are suitable. But it's good that you stim well and have good sperm. It's really just one day at a time. I hope that everything goes well & you have some to spare and it's good that you'll have a few buddies who are doing it at the same time.
Sunbeam that's a bit pooh about the acupuncturist/TCM being away, mine was away during epu & trf but we had his daughter continue the treatment. I hope your happy with his recommendation.
Elle. i'll be keeping everything crossed that it all goes smoothly for you.
So sorry for disappearing! I've just been exhausted! Thank you all so much for thinking of me!
All went well at the scan, one little bub in there measuring perfectly and heart beating away at 160 bpm. So I've "graduated" from the clinic and now onto figuring out all the next bits about prenatal classes / hospital tours etc! I still have the first trimester nerves, but all is looking good so I really have nothing major to worry about.
Sunbeam! How exciting, see it comes along before u know it.
Hi to everyone else!
AFM had my second BT, my hcg is 7,500 which I'm told is good. No other major symptoms, which always worries me a bit having had missed misscarriages before......Will remain positive!
bright future & jbear - things sound like they are going great for you both, wonderful news!
sunbeam - is lucrin an injection med? so i dont have to google - whats lucrin used for?!
hi everyone else, hope you are well.
afm- still just taking the pill, not sure when syranel starts yet. usually do antagonist cycles, so this down reg long cycle seems like its taking forever atm. my very first stim was a down reg though, which wasnt a great result (only 3 eggs), so im a little nervous about doing another one. i will be on a higher dose of puregon though, and im at a different clinic now - so im hoping for a better result. clinic called today and my PGD counselling appt is next week (tues) now, looking fwd to finding out some more info.
just popping in to say
sunbeam- good luck babe!! so excited for you xx
andie-my last cycle was a long down reg (only got 4 eggs) and all my others were antagonist-hope thats a good sign for you too ( this was my 11th embryo too) xx to you lovely ladies
