Hi Girls
Thought I would pop in and give Nicki a big fat hug and a pat on the back for getting on with it and to have a great possitive attitude well done , its bloody hard what ever insemination we go through , I know! I have had 2x IUI 2x icsi with own eggs and 2x ocsi with donor eggs . well done also for setting up this thread , its far better to be in the general instead of being singled out on the other forum ,

Well I have been keeping a low profile of late as I have had alot of thinking to do about 'MY LAST GO' which is only 6 months away , I have taken 18 months out so far to clear my head , get healthier and to come to turms with what has been a very stressfull ride on the ivf which I know you can all relate to , its tough for me I think to get to grips with is the fact I am still that person that is unexplained after every test going , I suppose that if I had a reason for my infertility it might be easier to come to turms with ,anyway I have so far this year had 3 holidays Greece , Spain and yes CAMPING at sandy balls in the New Forest , if Becky was reffering to my BIG bed then yes its the best thing to sleep on when camping , its the size of a normal bed and in height too and I dont do sleeping bags I have a douvet also I have a put together wardrobe!!!!! sorry guys but thats my kind of camping also my tent is 81/2 meters x 81/2 meters I think its supposed to sleep 22!!!!!! I am such a snob LOL :lol:
I am going on a cruise Queen Mary 2 for 6 days to New York then staying in the Wardolf Astoria for 3 nights in 5 weeks then Christmas day we are flying to my home Canada to visit my cousin . After all these holidays I am then going to sort my life out on my 39th birthday which is March 13th by the way!!! :lol: 8) :P if I chose not to go again then I have to just make sure I will not regret it , thats my biggest fear , I think I will visit the clinic counciler and talk it over with them . I have to call it a day sometime as it has cost us £1600 so far and next go will be with my sisters eggs which will cost £7000 yikes .

Anyway I will get off here and leave you some room to post :shock: special hi to Becky hows life treating you these days?

Best of luck to all us donor buddies

Hi Traci.....

I know what u mean about taking time out, you have been through it by the sounds of it, I have been posting about here for the last 1 and a half do remember you chasing becky round the boards. great that u are back on line and joining the buddie group!
Well done you for using your sisters eggs, thats great news. I hope it brings you sucess. You must be close to her. It's different with eggs and sisters. I have a brother but couldn't use his sperm!!!!!

anyway, hope it works.

Hi Becky!!! You ok??

Trace, 28th Nov will soon be here, so what happens...... you sis has bloods done? Does she then have eggs retrieved that month? and does her cycle have to con-incide with yours? Do they freeze her eggs before you get yours?
Do you still have to pay the hfea? I guess not?

O Im so excited for ya! xx does your sister have her own children?

All the best dear x x


Becky!!! How nice that ur clinic emails just to say hi! I bet u did het high hopes of that embie coming your way.... Hang on in there¬ xx
