Hi i have just failed an attempt but i had 17 eggs collected and i too had severe pain and i called the hospital because i was worried. i was told that pain from egg collection if you have lots of eggs can last up to 10 days and can be severe enough to take painkillers. they told me it was safe to t...

i have a very sensitive stomach and i seem to get an upset tum on all the meds. if you look at the side effects, most of them seem to say diarea (sorry can't spell!) at some point. i've been told i just have to put up with it and make sure i keep drinking lots of water. hope you feel better soon. Na...

another lady on this board just got a BFP on her 7th attempt. Trinny (from not what to wear) got pregnant on her 9th go and there was a lady on tv recently who got pregnant on her 12th and 13th attempts. i am currently on my 7th attempt and am still trying to stay positive as it is the only way. You...

That's fabulous news! congratulations to you both! you've definitely boosted my positivity.


well done!

Hi

i'm on my 7th attempt too! i wouldn't worry too much about the brown bleeding or the timing of it, a friend of mine had this type of thing on and off for a while when she was pregnant and she now has a baby girl.

i've got my fingers crossed for you.

Hi the motility shouldn't matter for ICSI as they don't have to swim anywhere, they are injected right into the egg. We are using surgically retrieved sperm which don't move, they just "twitch". on my first attempt, 18 of my 23 eggs fertilised so it obviously works! can't say about the implantation ...

I wouldn't go. i am ultra paranoid cos i'm on my 7th attempt but i would want to avoid smoky atmospheres, being jostled in a crowd and getting too hot. it is completely up to you but i have always been told that if you are really careful you can't then blame the caffeine/alcohol/exercise/stress/what...

My friend's husband took the Marilyn Glenville ones and his sperm count increased dramatically. he saw two consultants in order to get two opinions and they both agreed. My friend then conceived naturally (after years of trying and 4 failed ivf treatments). Tragically she lost the baby but of course...

hi

i too suffer with these and nothing works better than perfume. spray it on your fingertip then rub it over the coldsore, several times a day. stings at first but dries it out so quickly. totally safe to use aswell.

Hi i had a nightmare with this drug too. once you have drawn up the sterile water, push the needle into the first ampoule and DON'T depress the plunger, a drop will probably drip off the needle and that is all you need to mix it. then draw up the liquid created. repeat with each ampoule until you ha...

Hi everyone as you can see from my signature, i've had many failed attempts. we haven't given up yet, i'm having a laparoscopy in a couple of weeks but obviously it's looking very unlikely that we'll ever get a +ive and we'll have to stop at some point. recently i've been trying to come to terms wit...

Carolyn - i wasn't having a go at you! just didn't want to confuse you! i'm not on any threads at the moment cos just stuck in limbo. got my review appt. on Monday and will be requesting a laparoscopy. have sought legal advice about the situation at work (no HR dept - we're too small) and have basic...

Hi Carolyn if you look back at the dates i actually created this thread before my last attempt and that's when we moved clinics. i'm afraid nothing at all has happened since my -ive and i left the April/May buddies thread. i haven't even had my review appointment yet. i had another set back last wee...

girls i am so sorry but i'm going to have to leave you. i'm fine until i come on here. as soon as i see positive news and especially twins (which we really really wanted) i just start sobbing. it sounds so bitter and jealous and i hate myself for it but i think i am realising that chances of getting...

it's a negative. tested at 5am. pure, pure white and no hint of a line in any light.

posted more on our april/may buddies thread.

thank you all for your support, it means such a lot to me.
