Dear Everyone,

I have posted on this board on and off, dipping between cycles - and feel that I am coming to an end. I have managed a +ve but m/c at 8 wks. and in total have had 5 IVFs (part NHS funded). The last one was a short protocol with a new clinic, which has a very good reputation. The ...

Hi Karen,

Haven't been on this board for a long time - but if it helps at all - we seem to have similar experiences.

I have had 4 IVFs with a +ve and m/c and about to start a short protocol with a different clinic. I too have responded differently, sometimes poorly. The first time I had an ...

Dear Sally, my love!

I am turning the big four O - in a few months time, so I am sorry if the old age thing upset you. BUT!!! Apart from being a sprightly 31 yr old, I should have added that this clinic, has had fantastic results and their research simply supports short protocol.

I hope that ...

Becky M,

That is brilliant news - and it seem so soon. How long did the adoption process take?? I am doing my 5th IVF in January, but getting pretty fed up with it. I will be 40 in July, and am keen to get on with life! You know how one puts things on hold all the time etc... Maddening thing is I ...

Dear Dolly,

Oh lovely, you are really not alone, and I really understand the feelings you are going through and so sorry to hear that your last tmt in August did not bring you the joy - YET AGAIN. Gawd, how many times do I scream "why me???" Is there any a day when I don't stop thinking about.
My ...

:D :D :D

Tracey,
:oops:
you can breathe now!!

It's been a long while (dh works from home and is ALWAYS on the home PC...) but that is just great news to have turned the corner.

So pleased for you,

Good luck for the rest of your time.

Dear Traci,<br><br>It was lovely to hear from you and learn of your excellent progress. It's not easy at this time of year to get excited about the festivities with everything that you have been through. But when you get low, just think of us all around you. You are not alone. Even I have to say ...

Hya,<br><br>If it helps at all, one friend of mine, who went through it 3 times, said that EC was actually rather nice. I didn't find it bad at all. Actually could see on the scanner what was going on. Mind you, threw up afterwards, hastily ate something too soon! The injections are OK too. I ...

Hi everybody,<br><br>Story so far:<br>10 days into my third IVF - 38 - unexplained - mighty pissed off. Clinic 90 minutes from work ...on a good day.<br><br>Chapter 1<br>I decided for the first time to go to GP, and ask for some time off. I work shifts in a large organisation, with the alarm going ...

Mel,<br><br>Hya. Just wanted to say that you are not alone. This happened to me in June. I am now in the middle of my third IVF.<br><br>My situation. Like you, Unexplained. FSH 7 ish. Just 38 ! First IVF successful treatment but no success, if you know what I mean. 8 eggs, 5 embies etc.. pretty ...

Hya Kate,<br>I'll be cycling for the third time in a few weeks, but happened to spot your message in the SCB7 board. I noticed that you were already doing blastocysts and it was your first try. I was surprised, cos although I have heard that the success rate was good, it is rarely used until ...

Fiona,<br><br>I've been in and out of this site, but always touched by your support and encouragement. Well done for getting a +ve - but I remember that you were close before and bravely continued with a presentation for work (!) , so the very best of luck... I've tried to trace your story, but can ...

I'm in a pickle at the moment and reckon my cycle will be abandoned... My Estradol (?) level is 500 something and I am supposed to have egg collection tomorrow. On that website it said I should have that amount per follicle! I think only one follicle has responded to the Gonal F boost (prior to ec ...

Can anyone help? Been in a similar situation? This is my second IVF - first treatment successful but no implantation. <br><br>This time, responding nicely to Gonal F - started at 150, cos ovarian reserve OK, then it was upped to 225. One follicle zoomed on - but the rest of the follicles remained ...

Can I ask whether anyone has received a sick note from GP - and for how long. Does it include the 2WW..<br><br>(((And Hi to Traci - I was "Nick" last time. Back here again. I think you are having a rough time too? "Molly" is our terrier. Really good for relaxation, patiently observes me injecting ...
