Both times, I think my longing started around when af returned! But that took much longer for me than you (which sucks, btw)
Our storage used to be $240/year, but has recently gone up to $500/year!!!!! no explanation. I guess it's the gold plating they use on the fridge drawers?
Hey, did anyone here to HRT FET? What did it cost? It was $5,000 for us.... seems very expensive. I'm not sure if it's worth moving t a new clinic with only 2 embryos, and particularly since we've had such excellent success rates at this clinic.
Hormone Replacement Therapy Frozen Embryo Transfer
So it's a totally controlled cycle with no ovulation - pills and pessaries to replace any ovary action and support pregnancy till 12 weeks
mad B: woohoo, on deciding to do something with your frosties, mine are still in the freezer waiting,,....yes we have decided that when the time is right we will use our frosties but no more IVF after that, so if we dont get a baby that is it. i am happy with that as i feel i have my amily now even if it is all boys...lol. good luck to you. make sure to keep us posted as to what is happening. :-)
TT40: our bill for our 6 babies in the freezer is $ 200 a year , which they let me pay off, so i dont mind that. its a hard one when to decide to go back again, and every mum is different. you've just gotta do what you feel is right.... i don't recommend a 9 year gap like i had but 2 or 4 years is good. make the most of your precious daughter ... good luck
AFM: yes almost 1 year has gone very fast! ..... my baby doesn't look like a baby now but a little boy already
TT - you still need to have a cycle, yeah, so you'll need af. You just don't need to ovulate yourself - so good for those with dodgy ovaries. It also allows you to coast along if the first embryo doesn't thaw - you can wait for the next in a sort of hormonal holding pattern. That won't work if you do a natural or stimulated cycle.
I was flicking through a book in the library the other day and came across a page that reckoned, biologically, a roughly 2.5-4 year age gap was most ideal. I didn't read any more so don't know what evidence they had of this.
Congrats Janie! Hope all is well and you're getting lots of sleep
Re frozen embryos, we're not sure what to do though it's still early days really. We only have one so initially we thought we'd transfer and see how we go. But DS2 is such an ATROCIOUS sleeper - I'm talking ALL sleeps on me and only 45 mins at a time, day or night - that I honestly don't know if I could cope with a third. But the thought of donating our embryo to research (which was our original plan when we had our IVF counselling and they asked this question), well now that we have children, I just don't know if we can do it. We'll see...
Hello ladies, happy new year to you all!
Its been a long long time since i've been on here, sorry. Big hello to those i remember TT40 (thanks for your message i've only just got it ), JBM, lise and hello to MadB and anyone else here.
The last 9&1/2 months have just flown by...our little girl is growing up way too quick!! All is going really well and am loving being a mum but still pinch myself everyday that its finally real! I will need to catch up on where everyone is at but just wanted to pop in quickly and let you know I am thinking of you all and I hope to be able to post a bit more now that i'm actually getting myself organised with some quiet 'me' time during these peaceful daytime naps!
Take care everyone, dont melt outside today...what a stinker!!
