Isn't it always the way!! :roll:
I have just had a failed cycle of ICSI and needed progesterone for a withdrawal bleed to start my treatment (5 days of progesterone tablets). I have never had regular periods and could of been waiting for ever to start!
I'm due to start an FET in April but will ...

Hello,
Our clinic used merional too, again because they had found it as effective and was cheaper. I think as long as you are being monitored and your follicles are developing well don't worry.
We got 30 eggs!!!
Love Vanessa x

Sorry to hear you are waiting so long...its so unfair but even within one clinic waiting times can vary because it depends on the health authority funding your treatment :x
We have finally got to the top of the list at St Mary's and are currently on 2ww from today, but I did get impatient waiting ...

Thanks for your replies!<br>I am under Dr Fitzgerald too, and she has already done all our tests like bloods etc, and dh count and got GP letters back... we were told all this was done before we could go on to the waiting list!<br>Yes it is the meeting on the 11/8/03, we got our letter yesterday and ...

We have just recieved a letter inviting us to attend a meeting with other couples to be told about IVF.<br>Just wondering if anyones has any idea how long after this meeting we will start treatment???<br>Love Vanessa x

Just a quick one to wish you all the luck in the world with this attempt! <br>Will be thinking of you and keeping everything crossed!<br>Love Vanessa x

Glad the info was useful!<br>We were going to MFS for a consultation as the wait is so long on the NHS... but have had a letter through today for an appointment at St Mary's on the same day!!! Think we will go to St Mary's first and ask all our questions and take it from there. It would be our first ...

I have just booked an appointment to see Mr Lieberman at Manchester Fertility Centre which is at Bupa at Whalley Range. He also works at St mary's as you will probably know.<br>They want to do their own u/s scan, sperm check and day 2 bloods from you, this along with the first consultation is £290 ...

Hello!<br>I also have PCOS and am currently taking metformin after starting taking it whilst on clomid. When I took clomid on its own I failed to ovulate but with metformin I did. So I am now on just metformin whilst we wait to see a consultant for IVF. Can't tell you if it works on its own yet as ...

I too have PCOS and it took 5 or 6 days the times I have taken it.<br>It also made me really very grumpy and tearful... or is that just me!!<br>Typically AF only arrives when you don't want it!!<br>Hang on in there!! Good luck with your ICSI.<br>Vanessa x

I have just read an interesting article on the internet about the above and it quotes some research in which in a trial of 42 women with polycystic ovaries and irregular periods began a trial of metformin and 39 were having regular cycles after 3 months!! <br>Sounds to good to be true as there are ...

Hurray!!!<br>I have just recieved their information pack to get forms signed by gp etc and have more blood taken. Only problem is that because my last cycle of clomid failed I haven't had a period yet to go and start them!!!<br>Six months sounds ages when you are waiting but I am sure it will fly by ...

I've just been refered to St Mary's but have no idea about all the waits and formality of it all!!<br>It sounds like you know a little more than me so keep me informed!!<br>Love Vanessa x

Sounds like there are loads of us just starting out!<br>I am waiting for a second referal after nearly 3 years of tests and failed treatments (clomid etc). Will be watching to see how things develop as I am clueless too!<br>Good luck with everything!!<br>Vanessa xx
