Hi Bex nice to hear from you <br>Where do I begin !!!!<br>Well after the 2nd Icsi Failier the clinic I was going to decided to only let me go for Donor eggs and as My FSH was still only 12 and Id only had 2 goes and I managed 4 eggs both times I didnt feel that this justified the decision made by them, so I am now at a new clinic Called The Three Shires at Northampton. They decidided that to let me do a short Protocol and I was to await a lower FSH and stim from day three with 450iu Of Menopur!!! anyway the first month I got a 12 then a 16 well as you can imagine I was gobsmacked and had a good cry and decided that I was kidding myself with FSH of 16 to go for it with my own eggs so I have now got a donor she is my second cousin and she is going to Aus to live in February which works out well , I am beside myself with happiness as she is far enough down the line in the family but have the same genes. The 24th July is our first meeting at the clinic and as she lives in Poole we have sorted her out a clinic down there to look after her while stimming, so you see my life is still difficult HOW MANY HURDLES!!!! <br>Helen G and I met up last week it was really good to put a person to the writing.<br>Moving house can be fun!! have you moved yet ? and how long untill you are at the top of the list ?<br><br>Bye for now <br>Trace x<br>

Hi Traci,<br>Wow, good luck with everything, i'll keep looking for your updates.<br>well, we went to the Three Shires just after you to have a 2nd opinion from Coventry. But, Paul's results came back really good and they said there could be a possibility for IUI or just straight IVF if it was that good when we have treatment.<br>Coventry are now ready to give us our free cycle so we are going to go in and discuss everything from our Three Shires appointment.<br>But. . we're moving in with my mum until our new house is ready May 2004 so treatment is out of the question this year.<br>Take care and all the best for everything.<br>love Becky xx
