:lol: :) Just an update! We go to panel on Wednesday! The team leader who came to do the "quality control" visit says that we have a strong case. AND in light of DH's illness the medical advisor has reccommended that we be matched with a child asap to enable us to bond as a family before DH needs ...

We have completed the home study for adoption with our local council. We were supposed to go to panel in July but it has been put on hold due to DHs medical. He has a kidney diseaase which we have been totally honest about from day 1. The medical advisor for the panel has spoken to his renal ...

Hello and Welcome.

I've had two IVF/ICSI treatments and 3 DI treatments. I hope to be able to put your mind at rest! I had no side effects at all during my two IVF cycles - if I was a little bit weepy, it was because I was having negative thoughts, not because of the drugs.

I down regged with a ...

Thanks for your replies. I am going to hang on until Saturday, if I can. Although have woken with slight crampy sensations today, so may not have to wait that long.

I have had a natural DI treatment this cycle. My last insemination was Fri 2nd April and a scan on Sat 3rd revealed that I had ovulated. The clinic said it was usually about two weeks after that AF would or would not arrive. Does anyone know how soon can I do a test? The waiting is driving me mad!!!!

We live on the boarder of Northumberland and Gateshead. We are having treatment at the Centre for Life in Newcastle. I can't comment on any other clinic BUT the C 4 L have been fantastic with us. The nurses and doctors are so lovely, helpful, honest and don't care how many times I phone them with ...

That is beautiful! Words fail me. How and where did you find it?

Glad to see some positive results with DI.

We are on our second "natural" DI tmt.

I was inseminated on Monday and Tuesday but had ovulated by Wednesday. Does this seem normal to everyone? I am concerned that I've only been inseminated twice each tmt. It doesn't seem enough. and WHY won't they ...

Hi Caz<br>DH has a kidney problem which made him have a low sperm count so we had ICSI with his frozen soperm. He was then treated, unsuccessfully, with chemo/steroid combination, this left him sterile. My eggs don't respond well to ICSI, they don't like being injected!! and frozen DH sperm not good ...

We went to the clinic yesterday and saw the "head honcho" as my DH calls her. We are about to start DI having had 2 failed ICSI attempts with DH's sperm. The professor (head honcho) said that couples like us have a 70% chance of getting pregnant with DI. I thought I had misheard (ie was 70% of NOT ...

I am sorry to hear that you have been unsuccessful. I've has 2 ICSI cycles (both failed) and both times I was told that my embryos were fragmented. The first time I told that there was no reason for this and there was nothing I could have done to make a difference. The second time it was suggested ...
