    Saffy yay for your fs
    Sunbeam don't give up yet sorry I put pressure on you to test. I just can't help it I love pee sticks ...
    Matthews mum hugs back to you babe
    My fs is fully keen for us to move to ivf I have had no type of assistance whatsoever before just seems a massive jump from nothing to ivf? What do you think? All my tests have been great dh has some dodgy swimmers but has managed to get me UTD 3 times in 14 months.... I know ivf will be better quality embs to put in etc... But I am scared. What do you all think?

    Joeve have you thought about IUI? I think for cost effectiveness they want 10 mil on the sperm count, or something like that. if you do IuI with injectables, you will learn what meds your body needs before you get to IVF. Think of it as a less expensive trial run that still has a chance of pregnancy.

    sunbeam: sorry to hear you got bfn hopefully that changes in the next few days

    saffy: good to hear your fs is supportive & you are happy with him

    joeve: i asked my fs that exact question, she was of the opinion ivf wouldn't make any difference to our chances of a take home baby because getting pregnant wasn't our problem, it is holding onto them that is & she didn't think ivf would change that, even after i mentioned putting the "best" embies in. there are a few girls on here that have had multiple losses & some have done ivf but finally got that sticky pregnancy (naturally). i wish i knew what the secret was but my thoughts are for some reason some eggs are better than others and you just need to get that right one

    I agree Minnie, I don't think IVF neccessarily helps with preventing losses cos they grow embies to 5days, the ones that 'drop off' before that would never have implanted in a natural pregnancy anyway, so I would say IVF would have the same chance as natural pregnancy of a m/c.

    I guess the question is , is how long it takes you to get pregnant, cos ivf can obviously speed up that process ( supposedly, anyway, once you get all the police checks etc). It seems that 3 pregnancies in 14 months is not bad at all, time wise, have you tried clomid before? Don't be scared of ivf, its not that hard or bad, just expensive.

    p.s. joeve clear your inbox!

    Joeve - I'm with the other girls if you are getting pg then IVF is not really likely to help. Have they even been monitoring you after you get pg, do you get progesterone support? IUI might be useful as it times everything perfectly and is lots less expensive. Personally I hated IVF and will never do it again but i'd do IUI in a heartbeat. So my advise would be think about IUI and use the money you save not doing IVF to put towards stuff to help bub stick like acupuncture, herbs or a nice relaxing holiday.

    Hi Lovelies,

    Crafty-That's so good that your hormone levels are still all good. The new doc sounds awesome I will be very interested to hear what she is planning and doing. It is so great that DH swimmers are also doing great considering how things were years ago when you started out

    Hi to everyone else where are people up to?


    AFM - Well very embarrasing phone call to the new FS as the receptionist asked for my "partner's" date of birth and I didn't know it made up a date but was not even close not sure how I'll explain that one if we end up there. They want to do a release of info from my other doc but I don't want to do that as I don't want him knowing to start with in case it puts him off side also I'm not sure his notes won't say that both my "parnters" were in fact donors!! I am going to the appointment alone just to get a feel for the new FS and get a second opinion on a few things if we do swop over it probably won't be till the new year. CD1 for me today and having a proper AF for the first time in 4 cycles

    Sunbeam - Glad to hear AF is behaving but sorry she is here. And at not knowing your partners DOB. I totally understand why you don't want the new FS to have the old FS's notes. Best of luck with this cycle, are you going to insem again?

    Joeve - thanks for the stalkies . We must almost be cycle buds then? Hope it goes well. When are you talking to the FS next?

    Scan tomorrow at the crack of dawn. But I have EWCM for the first time in about 3 years woot! DH is gunna get pinned to the mattress tonight . Should trigger tomorrow morning for O sometime early Friday evening.
