Hi Girls

I first had a consultation at cromwell darlington in February 2005 for our initial consultation I had all the required blood tests before hand so I had an advantage I was matched to a receipiant on the 17th of February so 10 days later I started on day 21 of my cycle so 24th march.

Some of the blood tests can take up to 6wks to come back the chromosone and karotype.

I have had a great experience with them and am currently doing a frozen embryo transfer hoping for 6th April if all goes to plan

Any questions I would love to help you out

thankyou!i have been for a consultation,and am due to go for the first blood tests on day 2-4 of my cycle.(hopefully next week)do they check your bmi etc? i am really scared that there will be some reason why i cant do egg share,but i cant help being optomistic too how many times did you have to visit the clinic?

hi davejo

good luck with your bloods I didnt have my bmi checked at all
I hope you get the go ahead to start egg share

As I live so far from the clinic I only went for Egg collection and transfer but had to attend my local clinic for scans 3 in total during treatment

Let me know how you get on and good luck
