Just wondering if anyone can tell me what to expect on my first FS appointment. I have already had quite a few blood tests with my GP (CD3 and CD21 Prog, estrogren, FSH, LH etc), chart, and had hubby's swimmers tested.
We feel a bit funny about IUI and IVF, we are just shocked that we have gotten to this point and really dont know whether to embrace it or to wait? Worried that if we wait we will just be going through unnecessary stress as we get BFNs, but also worried how i would deal with the stress of IVF.
And we dont know whether to hope that something is wrong and we can find it, or that nothing is wrong and its just bad luck? Im sure you all went through this!
Abbie - Awsome results for Pickup.. I had tried to get online to wish you luck but couldn't get on... Can't wait to hear how many embies you end up with... that OHSS stays well away...

TL - Ah, well I didn't think of that! I only looked at the AC part and thought I didn't belong in here.. I'm so very happy you got your long awaited BFP :
Hi girlsthis rollercoaster that we call ivf certainly throws a few curve balls at ya - found out today that we only have 3 embies fertilised out of 19 eggs, the rest just didnt make it... very disappointed, this time FS had promised to defrost all the frozen tesa (10 vials) to make sure we had the best ones but the scientists only did 1, drives me crazy to think that maybe it was handled badly.. shakes my faith in the ivf team anyway. Everyone says it only takes 1 to make it, but last cycle my 3 embies only gave 1 chance for FET, the rest didnt culture well enough to blast stage.* Sorry for the 'woe is me' post but its such a frustrating process, not to mention the $$ each cycle!* On the upside, taking it easy today and no sign of OHSS so pretty relived at that one. thanks all for the well wishes, you guys are a great support team!
Bec and BabyDreamtime, best of luck for your ETs and QueenH for your BT. Hey don't the chinese think the 8/8/08 is a lucky date, thats why the olymipcs start then! maybe thats your lucky omen
TL keep safe and well, those MS symptoms are good to hear even if you do feel !! Aahh, the trials we put ourselves through
