Hi Poppet

i also live in England.

Angeinhull is right that where you live can determine how many, if any, free IVF cycles you can have.

I live in Oxfordshire and I wasnt eligible as we already have a DS. However, if I had a new husband I would be eligible. You need to get referred to an IVF ...

Hi sammycat
Congrats on your pregnancy!!

I'd advise you to have the Nuchal translucency scan. Not only do they measure the fold in the neck to assess risk but they can also tell by the formation of the nasal bone if there is anything abnormal eg downs syndrome.

Knowledge is a good thing....even if ...

Congrats - - - you are preggers with at least one little bean!!

Hi Dogzrule
One thing I learned going through IVF is that you musn't worry about stuff like this. I know women who have had all sorts of discharge during the process.
I am sure you will be fine. Sounds like your body is getting ready to support a pregnancy....fingers crossed for you.
Good luck!

Hi Dogzrule
I joined this forum when we had our first IVF in 2007 and I have dipped in and out. The women here are amazing, knowledgeable, supportive and above all, they know exactly what you are going through!
Good luck! I look forward to reading your good news story in the coming weeks.

Triplets!!!! Now that should be on the front page of every magazine!! Congratulations. We cycled together previously. I am so pleased for you!

PS. When is your next scan? Any sign of nausea?

Hi Hopingpa
I cycled with you last year and I am just delighted to read your news. I have everything crossed for you. Last year a woman sprinkled baby dust in my direction....I am sending it straight over to you. Good Luck!

Hi Everyone

Just checking in...Happy 4th of July to all the American ladies!

DD was born in Feb and she is just a wonderful little girl. I am still exclusively BF simply because she won't take a bottle. Exhausting but every time I get tired and frustrated I remember it took us 7 years to get her ...

Hi there. i am also still exclusively breasfeeding my 19 week old DD. In the UK the BMA had said that babies still being breastfed at 6 months required additional iron as the baby's natural stores become depleted.
The most recent announcement is that even though breast milk has less iron than ...

Hi I am here too!
My DD was born in Feb and I am only starting to feel like I can speak in sentences again!
Hope all is well!

Hi All
I havent posted for a few months now - we have been on a bit of a rollercoaster.
It is great to catch up on all of your news.
We havent found out if we are having a boy or girl. My DH is adament that there are so few good real surprises in life so he wants to wait. I can't find out because I ...

Hi

I just got back from my scan.

All is looking good!

The risk of downs syndrome in a 38 year old is normally 1:170. After the scan they said the risk is now 1:914. HB was 164bpm.

I feel so relieved! The little guy was jumping and kicking so much then at the end he/she had his/her hand on her ...

There is nothing wrong with being a bit crazy!
