I too am a bit of an oldie in these parts - been hanging round these boards for over a year now so some of you will know a bit of our history. Been ttc just over 3 years. Problems are on my side - buggered tubes - or at least they were, had an operation last month to take them out and "tidy up". Prior to that we had 4 IVF/ICSIs over the last 18 months. Have never made it to test date without bleeding, but 2 of the 4 attempts were biochemical PGs, which gives us some hope. Last time round managed to get 7 blastocysts in the freezer and will be trying with frosties next month. I too am waiting for AF. She's due next week but have a feeling it'll be early, so am guessing I'll be on the 2ww some time in mid July. Wishing lots of luck to new friends and old, especially Traci and Fi for tomorrow.

Hi July Ann and Girlies, I'm signing in. Lost touch with June/July buddies. I'm 36 on 2nd attempt of ivf. Just been for 2nd scan today, like last time I only have around 5 follies and only 2 seem to be a decent size (although there maybe a 3rd if it catches up). Bit disappointing as after 1st time thought it was just a bad session and would get more this time, but this must be all my body can do (as nothing else seems wrong). Anyway, we got 2 good embryos last time so hoping for the same on EC on Tuesday. Good luck to everyone. Let me know if anyone will be on 2ww from next week. Love Sharon

Hi to you all (I hope it is ok to just cut in - I am a virgin to all this cyber chat!) My name is Lorraine, I only found this site today, in all the time I have been TTC (7 years) I have never spoken to another woman who has had any kind of fertility treatment and until today I had no idea how much I actually wanted to. Just reading your messages made me cry. (although this would probably mean more if I hadn't cried at 2 adverts today and sobbed when I missed the bus!!!) David (DH) and I have had clomid x6 & IVF x2 all -ve and are now on our 3rd cycle - Egg collection is Tuesday. Not sure if it will be IVF or ICSI - depends upon count/motility on the day. DH has antibodies/reduced motility, I have PCOS. We also plan to have assisted hatch this time. We have always got to the night before the pg test before AF appeared - so I dread that long wait again. My thoughts are with all of you who are on their 2ww. Positive vibes to you all. LOL Lorraine [Edited by Lorraine on 20-Jun-03 17:30]

Lorraine - welcome!!! warning though "it can be very addictive and reduce your chances of cleaning/doing things that need to get done in the day"!!!! sharon - ooooh good luck hon, fingers crossed, have you lost touch with 2ww buddies??? remember quality not quantity!!! alison - hope af doesn't keep you waiting. good that you have some 'chilling' for you! best of luck fiona - when is your ec/et planned for? well, my clinic doesn't know if they can fit me in!!! ha as if we don't have enough to contend with, but i will give them grief, we are self funding after all. so holiday next sat then start sniffs when get back, i expect ec/et to be around early aug. luck and love to everyone!

Hi all, we have been trying to concieve for six years now, after problem diagnosed four years ago. we have had 1 iui failed , i abandoned due to too many follicles, and 1 iui converted to ivf last september, but all have failed. We are now in the middle of ivf no.2. started injections of metridin and buselin, and hopefully will have egg collection end of june/ start of july. Funny enough i have been calmer this time, only cried once when down regulating, and have come to the conclusion that as long as we have some embroys for the freezer, if the two we have tranferred fail, then all is not lost. Love to everyone, especially those on the dreaded two week wait. Julie M

hi girls my heart goes you to all those who have just had neg results, I wish it could be different. I have had follow up appointment and hb sperm has not improved so we are going for donor iui. really feel we have come to the end off one road and are going to take another, this might give us our much wanted baby. hb seems to be so much happier now that the ivf road is over. he seems really positive for the future and just wants to be a dad. I know some off you will not take this route but i feel it is are only chance and I think it is ment to be. will be starting tmt next month, have to many weekends with the girls booked and do not want to give up the wine.. now i have got back on it after all the tmt. well good luck and hope we get some good news soon. from july ann

JUly ann Posted a reply on another chat - but just wanted to say - I think you are really brave and totally right to get on with trying for a baby, via another route. Amazing that your dh if being so +ve about it too. Good luck!! As I asked on the other board (hope you dont mind me asking) - I would love to know your thoughts on the DI subject - if its successful do you think will you tell anyone, and did your dh come to terms with it quite easily? I thought I was comletely fine with it - but we went to see the embryologist the other day to choose a donor ( as a backup at this stage) and it REALLY sunk in for the first time then. i'm afraid it shook me up a bit - but I feel better about it now I have had time to think it over. It is VERY weird CHOOSING a donor tho - you get SO little information I had to laugh tho - one donor was a train driver whose hobbies were wrestling and birdwtching , or something...I just thought O MY GOD - this is not the man I imagined fathering my child!!!! Anyway got thru it in the end - and feel a bit better about it now. Did you sees a councellor or anything - we havent? Love o chat sometime Cazx
