Hi Ang

I know you are feeling low right now and it's only natural. We are all here for you so don't worry.

I am hoping to start my 4th treatment in June but it all depends on my bloods this month then it depends on when my AF arrives in June so you never know I may end up creeping into July. Whatever happens we will be cycling close to eachother so we can be there for eachother for support.

Sending you a {{{{{{HUG}}}}}} and lots of babydust.

Love Dagny xkx :wink:

Hey Anglea..
Thanks for welcoming me :0)
I am from Canada (Montreal Quebec) our clinic is at The McGill Reproductive Centre (Royal Victoria Hospital) they so far are AMAZING...
Dh has a low sperm count, (he has 1 000 000 000 ) which the average should be 20 000 000 00 although all we need is just ONE. We have been TTC for 17 months so we are gonna try for IVF/ICSI , and hopefully we'll succeed !! :0)
How long are you TTC ? what infertility issues do you have ??
Let me know.!

Hello I am a glutton for punishment so am going to have my 5th attempt in July.

I am working on the basis that i have been having acupuncture since jan so HAS to work this time.

I keep going throw wobbly patches when i think of the 2ww and the endless knicker checking but am not quite ready to throw in the towel.

Roll on July!

Hopefully I will be starting my 3rd fresh ICSI in early July all being well.

I understand about being anxious, it seems like ages away!

We have decided not to tell anyone this time (apart from my boss as I will need to take time off work).

I think that I would really appreciate support from others going through the same thing at the same time for all of us!

I am getting a bit excited we are going to change to Bourn Hall after disastrous treatment at Barts where the last straw was when we wanted a summary of our treatment passed to the new consultant they confessed that they have lost our records! I am so looking forward to dealing with people with a bit of compassion and some common sense!

I look forward to linking in with you all soon.

Julie

I don't think i will be a july cycle buddy after all :-(

I have been having acupuncture since Jan and the acupuncturist is going on hols in August - where i think some of the 2 week wait will creep in - and I know she wants to do some acupuncture during that time.

ALthough I am really disappointed I don't want to take any chances so think I will have to wait until September. I will speak to the acupunturist to make sure but I think this is the case.

Its really weird I used to be so anxious about getting started but since the acupunture I have been much more calm about the whole thing so if we have to wait until September we have to wait.

Anyway I may therefore be retiring from a cycle even before i have begun but GOOD LUCK to you all. My thoughts will be with you
