Hello to All:
It has been a long time since I've posted. We just returned from a week long vacation on the Big Island of Hawaii. It was very nice and helped us relax. The weather was absolutely beautiful!
DH and I are finally having our post IVF conference tomorrow morning. We still don't know if we are going to try again with the 4 frozen eggs.
I'm not very optimistic. I think it will only cost ~ 1/3 the cost of a typical IVF. That would still be US $3,000 - $4000. DH does not want to proceed with the frozen cycle, as he thinks that it will be money down the drain.
On a more positive note, we are very close to sending our paperwork to China for our adoption. I finally resolved my fingerprinting issue. I just wish that we did not have to wait so long to get our daughter.
Welcome to all of the new ladies on this site. Good luck to all who are currently in treatment or are preparing for treatment.
Sorry I do not have time to get personal, but I have a lot of work to catch up on. I did not take my laptop to Hawaii.
Regards,
Tammy

Hi all
Bev - I am fine, thanks for asking, taking each day as it comes, many more good days than bad days now. Actually many more non-bad days is more accurate. Looking forward to my hols, can't wait and will be packing this weekend for some sun at last. Hurrah!
Anna - excellent news - you'll be back strolling down the Rambla before you know it! My donor was ready for EC early & we had the call Fri lunchtime that they needed us there Sun morning! Mind you this was for DH to go and give fresh sample so at least you'll get a couple more days notice....
Anyway, hope all you ladies with upcoming EC, ET and test days are doing fine, welcome back Tammy and hi to everyone else as well.
Lots of love
Kat xx

Good luck Anna, getting close now!
...and good luck Jen, thinking of you today and hoping it's all going well.
I have my one surviving embyo put back in yesterday so I am lolling around and taking it easy. I already feel achy and tired from not moving too much and I'd forgotten quite how tedious thia can get!
The transfer itself went OK but wasn't quite the lovely glowing experience of last time. At the time I was expected to be called though for ET, we were insted called through to their finance department. Despite the fact that my DP had called and paid in full last week, they were trying to tell us we still owed them £20, but they weren't sure. 3 different administrators buzzed round us trying to decide whether we owed the money or not (we didn't), whilst I sat there with a completely full bladder feeling increasingly stressed. I was so angry and so was the DP. How dare they harass me for £20 (that we didn't even owe) when we've paid over £4000 to get to this point, and to do it right at the most critical moment of the entire procedure? I made a real effort to go into this in a calm and relaxed state and they ruined it, I went in in tears.
The only thing that calmed me down was the thing that would have actually upset me in other circumstances. The sight of my little embryo being chased around the dish by the catheter, it took them ages to actually pick it up! I felt like the whole thing had just descended into farce and it made me laugh out loud.
Anyway, the little 6 celled being is snuggling in there now, and all I can do is hope for the best. I'm kind of thinking that last time everything was perfect and it didn't work, so maybe the disastrous start is a good sign!

Hey Ladies,
I'm one week out until my test. . . this is not a bag of laughs. As I am sure most of you know, every tinge in my body is setting me off either into someplace very exciting or place that I find rather depressing.
My ovaries are still grumpy from the ER and I'm feeling crampy. That completely has me freaked out . . . but I'm trying not to stress out about AF at this point. I understand that this could be my body just settling into pregnancy. I've been rather idle for two days now and I think today I'm going to get moving a bit more to take my mind of of this.
Next week I've got my DH's 39th birthday and my best friend's 40th. Not to mention, i return to work after my two weeks of lolly gagging. I will have some good distractions.
Amfy - I can't believe your clinic picked such an inappropriate time to hassle you for £20. What were they thinking? Once you get your BFP, you should write a letter to the director.
Tammy - I will be thinking good thoughts about your adoption process!

Hi ladies, happy Saturday
Hi Tammy, Haweii eh? Good for you. Sounded great! Hoping your paperwork wings its way to China and you have your baby in your arms really soon. How did your apptmt go? Have you decided what to do with your frosties? good luck x
Kat, off on hols soon. Go find that sunshine. It's desperate here isn't it? All the grey cloud is very depressing. Glad to see you are Ok. Enjoy your time away!
Amfy, what a total shambles. I really can't believe they were quibbling over £20 at such a crucial time. These people have the sensitivity of a brick wall, do they have any training on supporting patients? Anyway, glad to see you are OK and hope that your little embie is snuggling in and getting comfy. When is your test date?
hi Jen, hope ET went well and you are at home being pampered. Sending you babydust. It only takes one. Everything crossed for you. When is your test date?
Lisa in Seattle, wishing you luck on your 2ww. Hope the days fly by to a BFP! Hang in there!
Mitzy, how did your apptmt go? Are you going to cycle again?
Yasmina, haven't seen you post for a while. Hope you are OK.
Randa, only one more sleep. Sending a bucket of baby dust, PMA and hugs your way. Absolutely EVERYTHING crossed for you, will be watching for your BFP! Good luck xx

Hi all, not been around much lately, trying to get everything in place for a smooth trip to Kiev next Tuesday.
Anna, it's great to have you here, always popping in to send positive messages to everyone. How exciting, after you stop BC pills will you then have AF? If so, I guess you will be about 3 weeks behind me. Wouldn't it be great for us both to have each other to lean on through our next 40 weeks or so? Not long to wait now!!
Caz, you'll be having your scan the same day as me, although mine will be in Kiev to check on how my endo is doing. Good luck with yours and hope that you will get the all clear to start stimming.
Hi Lisa from Seattle, hang on in there - half way through your 2 ww. I hope you manage to get through the second half without too much stress. Fingers crossed for you.
Jeni, wishing you loads of luck for your little fighter! Hope you are now at home taking it easy. Fingers crossed for you and your 2 ww.
Amfy, hope your 2 ww goes by without any more stress. Can you believe that a clinic would be so worried about a miserly 20 quid! I guess you can, you were there. They need a serious amount of bollocking when you get through all this. Talk about insensitive!! Take care and look after yourself.
Kat, enjoy your sunshine and rest. At least you will be getting away from rain-soaked Britain. Maybe when you get back you will bring some sunshine home with you. We can only hope.
Tammy, Hawaii sounds great. Re you frosties, only you and DH can decide, but I personally could not leave those little frosties in situ. As said previously, one of them "could be the one". If you don't try, you will never know. Whatever you decide, I am so glad to see that your adoption is on track, and if you don't proceed with your frosties, your little daughter from China will be with you very soon in any event.
Well, we are gearing ourselves up for our forthcoming treatment and I am popping about 6 pills twice a day at the moment. Feel like I am rattling. Two of these are Zita West's vits. The pre-pg one is like a horse pill! So huge, it is difficult to swallow (mind you I am a wimp with taking pills, anything that gets remotely caught as it goes down makes me gagg!). The other thing I am a bit worried about is that the last 2 days I have felt a bit dizzy and light headed. My eyes are also behaving a bit oddly. I feel like it is perhaps the start of a migraine. Never had one so don't really know what they are like, but you know when you are outside in bright sunshine, then when you return into the house your eyes don't focus and just feel weird. Well that's what I feel like all the time. Also in the corner of my eyes, I can just glimpse something which I can only describe as a "heat haze" like you see in the distance coming off hot tarmac!! I am hoping that it is nothing, but does anyone have any ideas or is it just all these drugs swimming around in me?
Have been trying to take it easy, hoping that it may help.
Better sign off now and close my eyes for a bit.
Love to everyone else on here - oh, nearly forgot, good luck Randa for your testing. Fingers, toes and everything crossed.x

My dearest donor buddy Bev, how did I forget to say hi to you in my last post?? Brain gone completely awol 
Apologies
Yes, when I stop my bc pills AF should follow in a couple of days. I start the oestrogen patches then. After around 7-9 days of patches I have a scan to see if lining is ready. So you are right I am about 3 weeks behind you!
You sound full of PMA despite the headachey thing. It could be a side effect of the meds or maybe it's just your body coping with the stress of everything. Will you get it checked out by your dr before you go to Kiev?
I've given up on all the pre-preg pills and stuff I just take folic tabs, try to eat healthily and don't drink tea or coffee! Still trying hard to cut out the alcohol....failing miserably , especially after a hard week at work. Friday nights are my downfall!
Do you fly out Tuesday? How exciting. I really can't wait to see how you get on. You are my inspiration. Looking forward to sharing a BFP with you over the next few weeks!
Take care
bye for now

Bev T - I'd nip into an optician and get your eye pressures checked. I have glaucoma and the symptoms you describe are simailar to what I had when I first went to get checked out. It could be caused by something in the meds raising the pressure in your eyes as mine also went a bit weird with the buserelin when i was stimming last year.
If it is that, it's nothing to worry about, very easily treated so don't panic but it's important to catch it early.

I heard from Randa - BFN I'm afraid.
She hasn't asked me to post on her behalf but I'm not sure when she'll get to post as she's moving house and wasn't sure what internet access she'd have for a while. Hopefully she'll pop back soon and tell us how she's doing.

Oh I am sorry, please pass on my sympathies Debra, if you speak to Randa. I will be thinking of her and her DH.x
Thanks ladies for your suggestions, the headache/eyesight thing could be stress but I think I will take Amfy's suggestion on board and get it checked at the opticians. Trouble is that with it being Bank Holiday on Monday, I doubt I will get an appointment before we go to Kiev. I will see how I am tomorrow, and if things are really bad, then I will go to the doctors!
Anna, I am not convinced that the occasional glass of wine is ALL bad! I'm still drinking gallons of tea, I'm afraid I cannot function without it.
Speak soon,

Hi ladies,
As I am still not sure wether to have another go at IVF, or to have a go with donor eggs, one thing I do know is, that if I do have another attempt it will be abroad. I know some of you are having treatment abroad, so can anyone give me an idea on prices abroad, & also how many times do you have to fly out?
My last attempt was in April and the only got 6 eggs and only 2 were mature and they had to do icsi, and then only 1 fertilized.
My FSH was 17.4 then, so whatever I decide to do, it will have to be soon.
I hope someone can help me with some info.
