Saffy - Yes we are here for you and we understand the stress all too well. We are all praying this is your one (or two!)
Joeve - I love my FS as you know but I wouldn't be afraid to change if you feel yours is not doing the best by you. I know of a few women who changed and in some cases took their embies with them and got the result they wanted.
AFM - Well Spring Chicky seemed quite positive about the whole egg donor thing she said she had seen an ad about it in the past and even considered it then. Her 2 main concerns were coming off her BC and ending up UTD again (she is very fertile!) and that the hormones will send her crazy. I wrote out a sheet for her about all of what is involved so she can talk it over with her partner. If i haven't heard from her I will call tomorrow night so I can ask FS an questions she might have when I go on friday.
sunbeam - sounds like you have a great action plan lined up - wish i had 22 year old eggs! (i know, i know... i shouldnt complain about my 33 year old ones...). dont know about you, but the drugs didnt send me crazy. except maybe the double dose of progesterone i was on once... maybe a little bit psycho, angry-woman crazy goodluck for your appt tomoz.
joeve - i hope your FS has a fabulous, guaranteed success plan lined up for you on monday. then you can log on and give it to all of us.
saffy - hope you're ok, it must still be stressful for you at this stage but exciting as well.
hi tilygirl.
afm - not much to report, technically in tww but really just waiting for af to schedule in a FET next month. i read in another thread that my clinic are about to raise their costs again in june, so hopefully i can sneak in before then.
Wow 10 whole days with no posts! I have been keeping up with people in the other threads though.
I hope everyone is going well.
Tilygirl - Whoo I hope you have a great sticky bub on board.
for all those in the TWW, bring on the BFPs!
Special hugs to Saffy for the loss of her fur baby
AFM - Things are ticking along with the whole donor egg thing and I just registered to go on a site for those TTC with donor eggs so I can get some more info. I am going with my Gorgeous Egg Donor (GED) to get her Marina removed on wednesday and then we both go on the pill to sync our cycles. We then have a counselling session along with Donor Daddy hopefully on the 7th June when they will also do all GED's bts etc. I have been a little sad this week as back before I even started IVF I had asked my very best friend to be my egg donor if I ever needed one and she had gladly agreed. Unfortunately she is now 35, smokes and has no children so my odds with GED are about 25% greater. It just would have been so nice to have a baby with my best friend When I spoke to her she totally understood that after all this time and all I've been through I have to go with the best odds.
hey sunbeam - it is quiet in here... as you know, a few ladies have upgraded to the big time! sounds like things are full steam ahead for you & your GED. sorry it didnt work out with your BF being egg donor, but im sure she will be supporting you in every other way during the next few months. it will probably be quite handy having someone close to you who is not on hormones...
hi joeve, hope you're well!
af arrived yesterday, so spent last night with a bucket of icecream & bottle of ice magic (layering, eating, layering, eating etc.). had a great FS appt today though, she has suggested a biopsy for nk cells, & so she can have a look around in there at the same time. she has also agreed to let me try the bondi/colorado protocol for upcoming FET, so im really happy to be trying something different in the hope that it will work.
joeve - are you asking about bondi/colorado protocol? (i thought we were talking icecream protocol... sorry!!). there are a few variations going around, but i will be on prednilslone, clexane, progynova & progesterone. prednilslone is used to suppress natural immune response (theory being that body is attacking/rejecting embryo prior to/or upon attempting implantation), clexane to thin blood & help the implantation process. if you hit google, there are a few threads around with women who are trying this, some have had success, some havent. after repeated implantation failure & BFN's, its worth a shot.
I know all there is about ice cream protocol!!!
Thanks for sharing sounds like a lot but all good the clexane stings !!
I need to call the clinic nurses and tell them we are going again but I can't get my butt into gear to call.., no idea why.. It's not hard right?
agreed - clexane feels like lemon juice on an open cut. i've had clexane for 2 previous FET's & its the stingy-iest injection ive had. im sure stingy-iest is a word...
i dont blame you for putting off calling your clinic. it's hard to start up again - being on-call for the BT's, scan's, appt's and dealing with all the little drama's along the way - its exhausting. a lot easier to try naturally & hope for a miracle. maybe you just need some time off before going back? xx
