This thread is the one the Rat Smacketeers all become PSEPP and we are Brooking No Argument this is the case. Fact.

Hi all, I'm in shock and very nervous [shaking] as I just went through my regular testing regime this morning and a tiny little line appeared on HPT - took a couple more brands and darker on those. It is so so early too. I'm so happy but so so so worried after the MC last time. How can I make it stick xxx

yes, we are lucky. It's not normal health insurance, but all-singing all-dancing ex-pat insurance, provided by DH's company. I'm not going to count my chickens yet, but at least they said all lab tests and consultations would be covered without having to get approval, and then if we are recommended treatment (i'm sure we would be) we have to get their approval.

maybe i am brooking for the test result, but 4% isn't that high, and then even if you have it they can select the embryos. It made me a bit mad yesterday, actually, while researching IVF places here. Lots of them offer gender selection, and apparently lots of Indians come here to choose the sex of their baby. Argh!

sweetie glad you're getting to see the consultant. Do you not get another NHS shot then? I don't know about egg donation, but I think some people on the Assisted Conception thread are using egg donors. I have heard it's a long wait in some places though.

solars glad you're feeling better. Not long till Friday. GROW FOLLIES GROW!!!

AF due by Thursday. I have familiar cramps SIGH

That is high isn't it, brooking for the cf result Maybe

I think you did right, insisting on seeing a consultant Sweetie I really don't know about egg donors but I reckon the waiting list will vary depending on where you go, maybe worth checking out the websites of the clinics you might be interested in to see if they have any information or even ringing them? Hope you're doing ok otherwise? Are you back at work soon or do you get to spend more time with that gorgeous pup of yours?

keep lucky you that your insurance company covers IVF, mine don't either.

Maybe fx crossed on the CF result too

Solars glad your cold is feeling better too, I have had a stinking cold too DH says now he has it that it is flu - obviously

Scarlett I am glad your day got off to a good start, December seems a long way off for your next consultation

At my appointment I only saw the nurse, who was very nice, but could only do the preggo test to tell me it was negative. She did say I will need a Failed Cycle Review. At the appointments desk I told them I would like this with a consultant or I would pay to see a consultant as we really need proper guidance of next steps rather than waffle we have had to date from registrars. Anyway they rang me with a NHS consultant appointment for 31st oct. I am warming to doing a natural cycle, as I only got my single egg on full stims, if they will let us do this as I am just not sure about egg donor which I think is our only other option. Does anyone know waiting times for donors? Does it vary depending where you go?

Wow Keep that's amazing!! I didn't know any insurance companies covered it, I know ours doesn't.

Glad you are feeling better Solars

CF is cystic fibrosis. There is quite a high chance that DH is a carrier due to his tube. They will only test me if his comes back positive. Apparently 1 in 25 people are a carrier, so. It's actually quite a high chance

X-posts Keep well done on the insurance, bonus!

You certainly won't need that consultant appointment Scarlett! I'm sure spermy and eggy are on their way to meeting each other as we speak! My first stims scan is on Friday morning, yikes! I woke up this morning feeling myself again after the last couple of weeks of feeling mehh I just have a bit of a cough lingering but feel miles better!

Maybe glad you're feeling better, i too no not what cf is and when do you get you're results? I'm sure all will be fine x

maybe brooking you won't be a carrier, but that's unlikely, surely...?

Scarlett you go girl. Come ON golden egg!!!! Why no appointment till December, do you need a break between cycles?

Good news here, girls. Our health insurance will cover fertility treatment inc ivf if we have a consultant's referral!!! Am in shock. We are thinking to start investigations in December, once dh back from abroad.

solars I'm already brooking for Tuesday. Are you feeling better?

sweetie how went Friday?

Sounds like you have a lovly dy planned Scarlett. Well done MrScarlett for taking things so seriously

I feel like a weight has been lifted, but now I'm worried about the CF results x

Go go golden egg! Am hoping it's in transit as we speak

How are you doing Sweetie? did you get some feedback from the clinic on Friday?

Hope everyone else is well, leaves behind porridge and tea?

Scarlett ahem Scarlett sorry to interrupt but just wanted to make sure you are ok for things to keep your strength up today and tomorrow? You go girl and catch that golden egg. I had a ridiculous amount of EWCM after trigger shot too

Good luck my dear I am Brooking so hard for you and still doing the wafty tube to catchy golden egg dance

Hi all, just popping by to say hello

Sounds like maybe and scarlet have had some good news and hope the rest of you are well too. Really sorry the ivf didn't work this time sweetie. I'm still brooking so hard for all of you xx

I'm 20 weeks on Thursday, scan on Friday so all well here

Oh that's great news Scarlett brooking for wafty tube x

Brooking for you scarlett, you are definitely still in the game and that BFP will be yours before you know it.

Come on ladies, gather round, we are doing the wafty tube dance!! We need to dance like we're drunk on a Saturday night, all together now

Brooking (and dancing) so bloody hard for you Scarlett now wait till Sunday and SMACK THAT RAT! You smack it good

Scarlett Sorry to hear you had to abandon the cycle, but Geek is right, the other tube can waft over and collect the golden egg so a natural is still a possibility - brooking for that my lovely!

Oh Scarlett be kind to yourself, lovely x
