Hi There,

I agree with Vlada, don't give up hope of her going to counselling. Maybe initially ask her to try one session only (sounds less daunting) - and see how it goes?

IVF is so emotional and can take it's toll in strange ways.

Perhaps you could talk to your doctor about alternatives to the ...

Hello All!

Hey Bernie and A Gallagher - fantasic news! Congratulations to you both - great to have some good news on the thread. How goes things - how are you both feeling?

I've had my follow-up appt. with Lavery. We're going for another cycle starting end December with transfer in January - going ...

Hi All!

Back from my hols - nice to be back actually (we stayed with a friend - I agree that scenario can be tricky!).

Vicky - great news about the tube - that's fantastic - best get trying :wink:

Bernie - glad to hear things are going well. 12 follies is a good number. How did today's scan go ...

Hi All,

I'm off to Greece tomorrow - just popped in quickly to wish everyone well as I'll probably not be posting while I'm out there - and for the rather sad task of changing my signature to add another BFN.

Follow up appt with Lavery not till Sep 12th - was initially offered Nov/ Dec by the ...

Hi Guys - afraid it's a 'no' again this time. Period came this morning - exactly on time like last time - did blood test and will get the call this afternoon but I know it's a 'no'. I did do another pee test yesterday (nobody has that much self control - least of all me - who was I kidding!!!) so ...

Whoah brilliant - and much cheaper - thanks!

Haven't quite lost hope - but have chilled out and come down to earth a bit. Even managed not to test this morning - more interested in breakfast. DH wants me to wait till Friday so I'll do my best on that - but will definately get some of those tests in ...

Hi All,


Oops I did a test this morning. Think I'm on day 12 (confused as to whether ec is day 0 or day 1) - so it's too early I know but I wanted to get rid of this horrible digital test that says 'not pregnant' - going out to buy the ones with the lines in a minute.

Vicki - I also much prefer to ...

Hi All,

Just wondering - how soon is OK to test? Friday before last was EC - if that was day 1 - today is day 11. Is tomorrow OKish? My blood test is on Friday - day 15. Just want to do something - even though I'll have to test again and again.

I've also been getting cramping from about a day or ...

Hi Vicki - good to hear from you!

Great to hear that you got BFP with average embs too - sometimes I fear I can be a bit hard on myself and negative so it really helps to hear the positive stuff (albeit with the ectopic but like you say, not the embs fault).

Very interested to see how it goes ...

Thanks Vicky - love hearing positive stories! Bit rubbish about Lavery not calling you back - there are so many patients going through HH I wonder how much of that kind of contact he gets around too.

Bernie - I certainly am taking it easy - apart from acupuncture I'm not really going anywhere over ...

VickyP - thanks for the good wishes!

Transfer went very smoothly - have finally sussed having a 'comfortably' full bladder as opposed to a really uncomfortably full one.

Had 2 transferred - 1, 5 cell + 1, 6 cell (day 3 trans) both average/grade 2. (the third was only 3 cells so a bit of a duff ...

ET is this morning - up early - strangely can't sleep (!).

Turned out only 3 of the 5 eggs were mature - but the good news is that all of them fertilised.

Nervous to find out if they've made it over the weekend and what quality they are. :lol:

Trying to keep up beat and calm - i-pod is in my ...

Hi All,

Quick post to say that EC went smoothly yesterday - surprised to get 5 eggs - follicles must have caught up after all. Looking forward to either a positive result or getting my life back (booze, the gym, thinking about anything other than ivf!).

Vickyp how did the call go with Lavery ...

Thanks Quinny - was beginning to feel like the odd one out!

Hi All,

Just a quick one - today's rollercoaster event. After blood test today I have been asked to up my dose to 400iu Puregon! Was 350. Hope this works.

Seems like such a high dose - oh well - if it means we get more eggs (4 last time - but only have one ovary) then it will be worth it. Just a ...
