Im currently jabbing puregon and will be having a scan on the 18th of Dec. With IUI roughly on the 21st ish. This is my first cycle I have been on a donor sperm waiting list. Whilst we are waiting with our first clinic we are trying IUI with a second clinic that doesnt have a waiting list.

Welcome & hope you find this site full of fantastic information. Better than what you get from FS & nurses at times!!..the boards saved my sanity. You really DO have to take control during your cycle and sometimes not rely on the nurses to get back to you etc - my nurses have forgotten a number of things as they are so busy but once your know the routine you will be fine.
Good luck for your scan this Fridays. I remember how exciting the 1st cycle is (ok..so by my signature you can tell I'm not so excited but I still feel a positive anticipation when I start.
I think its great you have 2 clinics - one waiting & one you go with. I have also 2 - sort of happened when my original FS wasn't available unfortunately after a failed cycle and I really needed to talk to a FS so saw another clinic. I have sent off my police checks etc to both so atleast if I need be I have the option of going back to the first one.
Not sure if this happens to you but some advice I wish I knew before my first cycle - don't eat too much..hehe!!..truly the stims gave me a huugggee appetite and I put on 4kg in less than 3 weeks, no amount of exercise got it off. My metabolism just was asleep!...and 6 weeks after the fluid went down I was still 4kg up...so mine wasn't water. The next cycle added another 3kg so I've now taken it easy since i'm up to cycle 5
Goodluck with your cycle - hope you get some good embies ready for a xmas romp
Charlotte i totally agree with you about the wieght, ive had two full stim cycles and each one puts on more, its like ive had two kids!! I get around 40-50 follies each time too so my tummy stretches to fit in the ovaries and i look like ive been pg. I even had one huge stretch mark its so not fair!!! I eat well and exercise daily and the pudge just stays!
Redladie, GL with your cycle. The clinic with no wait, do you have to know your doner?
Thanks for your well wishes and advice. Im only on Puregon and so far I haven't noticed any urges to eat more. I have noticed an urge to go have special cuddles with DH though. I think he thinks all his christmas's have come at once!!
The clinic I am going to for this cycle has no waiting list for donor sperm. The donors must go on a register but I do not know the person we have picked.
With our other clinic the person donating there for us to use once it has cleared quarantine is known to us.
