Hi Sunbeam - wow are you kidding re that egg donor friend!! How on earth did she manage to get pregnant....just goes to show it's just a number. Gives me hope with an AMH of 2.6 at best, at worst 1.3!!! Good luck with your next cycle, I'm VERY new to the IVF lingo so excuse me if I ask lots of questions. I'm all up on tracking cycles but that's about it!

Hi MinnieMouse - appointment went well, no mucking around, we are booked in for IVF and it starts this month!!!! Eeeek. Excuse my lack of terminology as I'm just learning the IVF wording but we are going to do like you are doing - a batch for testing.....so 2 egg retrieval cycles with a month break in between so my body cn apparently get over all the drugs etc (looking forward to the sound of that not) and then do the pre genetic testing and hopefully get a good one or two out of it ready for transfer around March/April! Going to be a long few months but nothing I can do. He said there is a waitlist so even if I wasn't doing the testing I'd still have to wait till then to do the transfer. I'm dreading the extra drugs I'll be on and I know it's going to be gruelling but I'm at the end of my tether and this is our last ditch effort. I'm just about over it all! I'm also adding in acupuncture which I started today and taking DHEA again for my egg quality, juries still out for me if that will actually work. This is going to be a crappy ride and I'm scared but also excited! Tell me what to expect from someone who's actually been there. He freaked me out a bit giving me worst case scenarios etc but that's ok. I'm hoping even though it will be harder than the tracking cycles I've been through a fair bit emotionally with 5 miscarriages so I think I'll be ok. Wll be opting for the counselling regardless though so I don't turn into a complete basket case if I'm not already! DH recons he's moving away while I do this though ha ha. So just waiting for AF to show and we'll get started. So, any advice is more than welcome!!!! I just have to hope I get myself a few good eggs, he said he just did a batch cycle for someone, got 17 eggs and not one were viable, I will just die if that happens to me!!!
