Hi I still get notified on these messages after all this time...maybe I can't quite leave it all behind me, who knows. My clinic in the UK would have done the treatment with my sister's eggs, had they approved it in principle, which would have been cheaper than adding the travel expenses on top. I d...

Chris - well done for the 2 embryos - the bedrest recommendations seem to vary from clinic to clinic - I rested for 2 days the cycle I got pg, (when I say rested I mean I tried to rest as I don't like staying put for long)- I didn't rest the other times. Some say to carry on as normal. I think you n...

Hi Ladies I'm still here, just not posting much these days, can't quite let go... Jools - what can I say, my heart goes out to you but you seem to be doing OK and thinking about the future and I know you'll come out the other end. Yasmina and Tammy - what lovely happy family pictures, please keep sh...

Hi all, welcome to Chriss, this is the best place to meet people who really understand. Jools - sorry to see your news, it's horrid to have your hopes dashed again. It seems to happen to so many people but you don't hear about blighted ovum outside of the world of ivf. I suppose a lot of people who ...

Jen - did you meet the dishy Dr Olivares :wink: ? Glad to see it all went well, they are lovely at IM. And they are the only people who have ever got me pg Hi to everyone else too and glad to see things are progressing for some of you I shouldn't be on here at all as I should be working :shock: but ...

Hi all Glad to see everyone is OK despite this stupid weather we're having over here. Welcome to LIV in FL - bet your weather is better than here in the UK! Not much to report from me, trying not to think about making any decisions. Been a bit down, cried in Clinton's yesterday reading birthday card...

Hi Julie! - good to hear from you. It doesn't seem 5 minutes since we last 'spoke'. Glad to hear Josh is thriving and you are going for no. 2. I hope your FET goes smoothly, will be thinking of you on the 12th. If you read back through this thread you will see I have 3 frosties but don't know if we ...

Hi all Welcome to Amy - good luck for transfer - hope you have 2 good embryos bedding down by the time you read this To all you mummies - it is so lovely to hear of your littles ones' progress - please never think we don't want to hear about it because we don't have them ourselves... As for me, firs...

Hi Alison, welcome to the boards, you're definitely in the right place. I wouldn't have got through all this without the people on here, believe me. My overseas DE experience is of IM in Barcelona, they were brilliant and I did get pg but it was sadly only short lived. Feel free to ask any questions...

Hi Gaile I haven't really had a choice when it comes to number of embryos to transfer - my first DE cycle we had 2 transferred - we only had 3 and one was not good enough. That was in Spain and I think they would have transferred all 3 if they had been good quality. They gave me a 60% chance of succ...

Hello ladies! I am back from my trip, had a wonderful time with my sister and nieces (Sophia 7 and Victoria 5 yrs old). Did loads more exploring and LOADS of shopping :oops: spent far too much money but who cares, we had fun. There is so much to do in Singapore even though it is small, people think ...

Hi Kim, good to see you back here My first DE cycle I was given 60% chance of success and yes I did get pg but only for such a short time. This last time round they didn't give me a % but the embryos were good quality, the transfer went really smoothly, everything looked so good and then still BFN. ...

Hi all Geckogirl - good to see you are keeping yourself occupied and enjoying being a lady of leisure for a bit. Ali hope you're doing OK too Hi to all you mummies and to everyone else. My friend at work (who was pg after coming off the pill only 3 months ago) had a scan this morning and there was a...
