Hi SarahMo

I'm quite new to this too. I have just been having treatment at the Lister . We had ICSI because of my husband's low sperm count. I was due to test this week (Wednesday) but unfortunately my AF came on Monday. So no luck this time. I'm 39 (40 in August).

I didn't produce many eggs, 4 were collected, 3 mature enough and 2 fertilised, but hey, you only need one!!

I will definitely go back for another cycle, maybe start in June. The staff there are great and very supportive.

Good luck.

Alison - that is just great :) I hope I get my success story too. Yes it was very hard when I lost the twins last year but I thought I would be successful at my next attempt especially as we were having the aneuploidy screening so knew that any embryos transplanted would be chromosomally ok. It was extremely upsetting to us when neither embryos implanted. But got to plod on a little longer in the hope of getting my dream.

All the best to you and bump :)

FIBROIDS

Post by HealthProblem »

I have a good friend who is struggling with Fibroids. It has been a battle and not a fun one. She found an article that helped her a lot in regards to understanding the problem and treatment options.

I hope this can come to use for many others. I know that it gave me a stronger grasp on the topic, and now I feel like I can better help.
Take Care- S :P
