I will come and join you - but am worried I'm nore of and April buddy -altho have first inject next weekend - so i guess I bridge it!
Know what you mean about the weirdnes of choosing a donor - TOTALLY surreal - do you think we ever looked at our DHs so carefully for the genes THEY might pass on - I dont think so!
Take care

Hi girls - I will be an ACB (hopefully)! Am due to start treatment when next AF comes - about two weeks time and then, roughly speaking, should be having the insemination in around one month's time. Hope you are all well. I know you are going to be an ACB as well Caz, wishing you all the luck in the world.
Jen - when are you next starting treatment?

Hi Millie
How cool, you and Caz will be ACBs together and if my March DI does not go well......I'll be there too (but hopefully not!)
Had a scan today and i have two good follis so they are bringing me in for a scan on Friday and DI will either be Saturday or Monday!
Keep us posted with your movements

jen - posted on the other thread - but SO SO much luck this weekend. I hope u are plannin to tak it VERY easy for a few days after.
Millie - so pleased we're cycling together. Good moral support
I am not being negative for the sake of it - but really not expecting things to work for me this time - we are using Dhs sperm (if we get good ones!) and the chances of it working are v v slim - but we have to try. If we cant get any sperms then we have a donor back up . If it fails with DHs sperm this time then we'll try in a few months time with the donor.
well--- we'll see what happens! I must try to keep +ve!

Good luck Jen, will have everything crossed for you. Hope the insemination is sooner rather than later - good to get it over with isn't it and get on to the 2ww asap!! Two good follies is perfect for IUI so thats great news! Thats what I'll be hoping for.
Caz, it will be great to help eachother through this emotional rollercoaster. Lets hope April is our month! I sooo hope you will get some embies with DH's sperm, did you get good ones the last time? Have you decided whether you will actually use donor embies this time if not?? Or is that a decision to be made at the time of ET?
Sorry to be nosey, spose I'm just wondering whether you will go ahead with April's ET regardless?

HI there
Jen - are you in for DI today - let us know! Good luck!!
Millies- HI there! Last time we got 2 good embies with Dhs sperm. So hopefully we'll have the same this time. Altho have read a few things that say repeated attempts at TESE get fewer and fewer good sperm, so who knows.
We have decided that IF the docs say its worth doing another ICSI after this one, then we'll freeze any donor embies we make ,this time, and use them later.
Altho not getting to et will be absolutely gutting.
I think my DH just needs to feel like he getting every chance he can.
So all in all, the chances this time of me actually getting PG are VERY slim - but its all part of the process.
We ahve decided that if it doesnt work this time, then we'll do ONE more ICSI, and next time we'll go 50% eggs with DH sperm and 50% donor . If we get embies with DHs then fab , if we dont then we will definately use the donor embies .
Hope that makes sense.
To be honest I just want to be pregnant now, but its not just about me, and if doing ICSI 3 times makes DH feel better about using a donor if we have to , then its worth it.
Good luck all!

Hi Guys
Well I did the LH surge test this morning and nothing, so no DI! I have to do it tomorrow and Monday too. If positive tomorrow then DI Monday and if pos Mon then DI Tues and if neither are pos then I have to take the HCG Monday night for DI Wednesday. Its all so bloody confusing!
I hit a real low in the clinic on Friday, I just thought.........I really don't want to be here, I don't want to have to do this any more......... everything that could go wrong has and I am just fed up with negatives on everything.........even a bloody LH surge!
Anyway sorry for being a winge!
Millie - hope all is good with you!??
Caz - You are a very patient woman, I should take a leaf out of your book......as you say, it is best to get everything straight in DHs head before moving towards donor.......it will come.
Love

My husband would laugh SO much if he heard you calling me patient!!!! I am THE LEAST patient person in the world! but on this particular issue I guess I have been patient....but its not 100% selfless, it just feels like the right way for both of us at the moment.
whata pain to have to wait this little bit more.....Good luck today/ tomorrow/Tuesday/ Wednesday!? All this businesses of waiting and waiting really makes you understand the expression a "watched kettle never boils" dont it?!
Love to all
Cazx
ps- just had prostap (down reg) injection - so now just waiting for af to arrive in week to 10 days before dailies. YIPPEE!!

Jen and July ann -soooo much luck this week!!
Nothing to report - no side effects as yet from Prostap (altho tummy slightly bloated but that could be time of month thing anyway)
can I ask....is it just me is has anyone else's social life taken a bit of a tumble. Mine has , and I remember it did last time too. I actually think its the not drinking - I just dont really feel like partying. HOw SAD?!!
Also....has anyone else discovered Fit Farm on Channel 4 -its HILARIOUS!! Check it out.....6pm on weekdays.

Hi girls, things are really moving aren't they!! Jen, hope you're IUI went ok on Monday. Must be good to get on the 2ww again! And July Ann, good luck for Friday.
Caz, I understand how frustrating it must all be for you, but you are right, it is important that your DH is as happy with what direction you take as you are and Jen is right, you seem to be very patient about it all.
On the subject of social lives, you are right, it does take a toll and it seems that everytime I am on the 2WW there is some occasion happening where friends or family are going out and i have to remain sober! I have actually taken the decision over the last couple of days to postpone my treatment until my next AF. This one has started rather suddenly a bit early which is very unusual for me, probably still the drugs from my last IVF messing me about! Anyway, its also my birthday on in April and I want to go out and enjoy it, I get so sick of having to worry about dates, and injections and scans. It really gets you down after a while doesn't it, and whilst I am keen to get going I am also suddenly dreading putting myself through all this again. I have to keep telling myself that its worth it more than anything for my little girl's sake as I would love for her to have a brother or sister. Anyway, feeling a bit fed up today as you probably noticed, although not entirely down to this particular subject.
So probably won't qualify as an ACB now but prob an MCB. Anyway, will still be here to support you along the way Caz, just as all the other girls will too. You'll have to keep me totally updated coz I'm a bit confused by your timetable!!
Will have everything crossed over the next couple of weeks for Jen and July Ann.
