Hi everyone Have been reading all of the postings after returning from 10 days in Malta, wow there are so many new to the site! Lovely to catch up with you all. Congratulations to those of you that have had good news and sincere sympathy to those that have not. GOOD LUCK to all going through cycles at the moment!!!!!!!!!!! Well to update you all, just before we went away we had our consultation at Kings with the nurse (drugs admin) and were told that our ICSI had to be put back to September as one of their embryologists had left. As you can imagine, not the news that we wanted to hear. We had our intial consultation way back in March and the (never ending it seems) waiting to start treatment is starting to get at me. I just want to get on with it all now. Coupled with this is that last night my ex husband told me that he is expecting his third child (first with his new partner). The ironic thing is that we had no problems concieving our two children and he is and never will be as good as dad to them as my husband (their step dad) is, and would be to any child that we might have together. It is weird how I feel, I am happy for them and have no feelings of jealousness as such, just an imense sadness that I am not able to tell my DH that he is going to be a Dad and an anxiousness for him over hearing that my ex is able to procreate so easily when we are having problems with concieving ourselves. Sorry to rant on a bit, feel better for getting it off my chest though! Take care everyone Lorraine G

O poor you We too are having ICSI as DH has NO swimmers and actually very very few sperm at all. So theres not a great deal of hope for us - but after one failed tmt we are trying agin in a few months. Will be keeping my fingers crossed for you in September We are consider DI as a back up option. INtersting in that sense to hear what you say about your dh being a better father to yy kids that the biological dad is....just goes to show that blood ties are the be all and end all POor you to have to watch your ex - having another baby. I think you are TOTALLY normal to feel a bit pissed off. I do just when friends egt pg Take care Enjoy your last few weeks of freedom from drugs!! Cazx
