First Time IVF and Terrified..

[Nixon]

Hey Mel

I'm on the ICSI band wagon too. Fun isn't it

Originally we got referred to IVF Australia for my hubbies initial tests, but we ended up being referred to Sydney IVF clinic on Kent Street for treatment when the test reults came back (anti-sperm antibodies 100% binding).

So far so good. I quite like the way they operate. I have found that they are not in my face about everything, but I feel informed and I feel like I can approach them whenever I need to. How are you finding it with Fertility First?

My nurses have been awesome and put up with 3 or 4 calls in a day (before I started the Lucrin).

I have only had one ultrasound so far and that was before I started taking any injections.

I went and had my first BT since starting on Lucrin yesterday. All is progressing as predicted by my Dr and I start the Puregon tomorrow morning (two injections a day - can't wait).

After that BT on Monday, BT & US Wednesday then again on Friday. That's the rough plan anyway.

Dr has indicated that the 11th of Aug would be the approx egg collection - depending on how things progress.

It just so happens that the 11th will be my one year wedding anniversary. I was expecting Champagne and Roses - looks like it will be a sedative and some local anaesthetic instead

I hope that your US goes well. I was so relieved after mine - it was no where near as bad as I thought it would be. It actually relieved my fears about the egg collection too (to a degree) It certainly made up my mind that I wanted to be awake for it.

Anyway babe - good luck for tomorrow. Let me know how it goes.
