This is how our family tree works! Great grandmother Had: Her Nan -----------My Nan Her Mum -----------My Mum Mandy and her Sister ----------------Me and My Sister So you see its a good match! As we are a small family we support one another through thick and thin but dont live in one anothers pockets. I hope all goes well with your next Tmt when do you start?

Traci, You must be really excited. Hope it all goes well for you. Its interesting to hear about the donor egg route and that may be our next option - we said one more go with own eggs and if that didnt work accept that donor would be better. I haent any volunteers in my family but have been on the waiting list for 4 months. I am in the middle of a treatment at present. EC should be Friday with ET Monday. I have 7 follies this time which is a hige improvements on the 3 I got last time so things seem quite positve so far. Keep smiling. Love Allison.

What is your fsh and what level of stims are you on? When I was going to try one more go with my own eggs I was going to be on 450iu menopur and I had bought the drugs and everything ready for a short protocol and then when I went from 10 to 12 to 16 I kind thought that time was right to give up on my own eggs , seeing as I only got through the last cycle by the skin of my teeth! 3 follis and 4 eggs 2 grade a 2 cells to go back but a big fat negative but if I hadnt grovelled and screamed at them they were going to abandon treatment, but I said no way and they let me go on , thats why I changed clinics also. Trace x Good luck I will be watching your posts

Traci, Just found your message on 26th. Thanks for that. My FSH last month was 7.3 which is about as low as it has ever been. You may recall I had a huge 17 FSH the first timeit was tested. I am still a classic "poor responder" so was on high dosage. I was on 450iu Gonal F for first couple of days then down to 300iu after. I didnt produce many follicles (surpise surpise) and those that were there were small so they increased my drugs to 375iu daily and that seems to have done the trick. I have 7 follicles which is far better than last time when I got 3 only. Egg collection tomorrow so hoping for a good crop and good fertilisation. In reality I know my chances are slim but you have to do for it dont you. We had said this was our last attempt with my eggs and are on donor egg list but that may take ages. We may be tempted to have another go in between if this one doesnt work. I changed clinics as well as I wasnt happy with the first one we used and have been pleased I did. Lets hope it is a good omen. Keep us posted re your donor egg go. It must be nice to have a cycle without all the stimulation drugs and injections. best of luck Allison
