Santa Baby, Leave a BFP under the Tree for me <brook the Rat Smacketeers>

Feeling nauseous sounds like a good thing Face and I hope the spotting has stopped for you too.

Oh no Geek poor MrG, how awful for you. Hope this is the worst of it and he starts to feel better soon.

I'm getting a little concerned about sending our registration now, we've got all our paperwork together now so just needs posting but DH is saying we should wait until we get a copy of the referral the gynae wants to send to the clinic. It's just all too much waiting for me now and I just want to get on with things [frustrated]

poor you geek hopefully it won't last long and Mr g will feel better very soon.
wow keep that's good news. well done Mr k. I have no advice as I know nothing on the subject. but it all sounds really promising. your baby isn't far off now! hope you have fun with ur sis.
I think I may have felt slightly nauseous today. could be worry could be wishful thinking but there you go. I swing from one extreme to the other positive then negative. you've all been so kind.

keep wow that's a lot of info! It's always good to have choices though. Huge congrats to MrKeep on getting those swimmers up to speed - what on earth has he been doing?? What's your deadline for making your decision on which of your options to take? Do you have time to wait and see how this IUI turns out, before deciding between having another IUI or going straight to IVF? Sweetie and Solars are right about waiting until you see how many and what quality of embryos you end up with - no point making a decision about that now, go with what is best for you at the time. Congrats and good luck!!!

More snow here today, have just had to do the weekly shop on foot, dragging a shopping trolley around with me

MrG's D&V is so bad. GP has said there is nothing we can do but try to keep dosing him up with dioralyte and lucozade, and keep an eye on his blood sugar every 4 hours. I've bleached the house from top to bottom, and had to run out to argos for more sheets as the last set is on the bed at the moment. All the rest are in the bin

Keep good luck with your sister being there You have a lot to think about there, in terms of number of embies really depends on what develops so you can make that decision later down the line. Hope you and DH manage to discuss it all while your sis is there.

Sweetie good luck with the hrt too. I don't have my list to hand but it included as well as the usual lh, fsh, progesterone etc, a full blood count, AMH which they use to decide which protocol they want you on and a few other bloods I'd never heard of or haven't been requested before. Hoping to get as much done on the NHS.

We've had loads more snow again today so we're not going to a birthday party which is about an hour away :(

Wow keep a lot to think about. Well done MrK for his improvement, it just shows what a difference a few lifestyle changes can make. I only had short protocol, which I found ok for me. I have to down reg this time which I am not looking forward to. But you have to go on the advice you are given. With regards number of embies put back I would wait see what you get and how they look at the time. The less embies you get the sooner they like to replace them but if you have a good selection it sometimes is better to grow them to see which grow well & stand bestest change. We hope to have 2 put back this time if we get that far, but I am old gimmer so this will be our last chance - - maybe--

Solars forgot to ask what tests have they recommend for you this time?

Hope everyone is ok

Quick one. Sperm has gone from3-4% morphology in the last three tests, last one in July, to 10%!!!!! this means ivf rather than icsi. And better natural / iui chances.

We have to choose between
-long protocol starting in mid Feb
-iui in Feb, then long protocol starting mid march
-iui in Feb, then short protocol in march

He recommended ling protocol for us if poss, due to risk of premature Lh surge in sp. Does anyone have any thoughts? We are slightly worried dh will have to be in the UK for an interview some time in April, so that's why I wouldn't just go with option two no questions.

He recommends one emby put back on day 5, 35-40% success, but would put two, 55% success but 10% chance of twins... Dh wants two, but I've suddenly got cold feet. Anyway, we have time to think, and need to wait and see what we get anyway. Aiming for 5-10,eggs.

Feel v excited, as if it might happen for us. But planning three cycles...

Love to all, esp face.

sweetie good luck with hrt. How weird...

Am off to the airport now....

god what a lot going on keep hope it all goes well.
sweetie glad af arrived. hope you all have a fun evening/day tomorrow.
we could do with a new thread couldn't we. Xmas is so over.

keep good luck for tomorrow, you have a lot going on. Brooking that the results are great for the ivf. Hope your sis makes it there ok, they keep showing people sleeping on the floor at various airports

cartoon Brooking that the spotting is just cartoonini getting settled. You should try get blood test for piece of mind.

Af arrived this morning so I start the hrt tomorrow. We are having my niece & nephew staying over tonight. We have all just been to tgi for tea, now settling down to watch muppets movie. Tomorrow we are taking them to panto, Alladin at the Bradford alhambra. It will be bedlam won't it

face I've upped the brooking for you out this way.

Also, I'm looking forward to a new thread as I've had it with having Santa baby in my head all the time...

solars that is a long wait for argc! I can get next day appointments here but am sure the quality is not quite the same

beedle that's darned cold. +35 here! Sounds like a perfect afternoon.

sparlks am jealous of you playing with your kitties in the snow.

sweetie is AF with you yet...

Right, tomorrow is ivf consultation, sperm results, and sister coming...

cartoon are you trying to fill up the thread so we can have a sparkly new one :o
Seriously though, I do hope the spotting has stopped. I have everything crossed that you've got a sticky bean in there. I also hope you can get the blood tests done to put your mind at rest until your scan.

Its flipping cold here, -10 when we went out for a walk this morning, so we've spent the afternoon snuggled under our duvets watching dvds :o

sparks i hope you're resting after your long walk yesterday

I second the trying to get bloods done Face I'm brooking all is ok.

Keep no NHS for us, we're still going private but argc state on their website that it could take up to 6 weeks to get an initial appointment with them.

Hope everyone else is keeping warm today.

This other lady had them through the gp and her results came quite quick too. I think I would be tempted to call the gp. The epu may also offer the test but I'm not certain on that. Just so you know, based purely on the fact we are brookers, you and bean are absolutely fine and this is going to turn out to be nothing!!

I hope you are posting from bed where Mr face is supplying regular chocolate and

Yeh too early to scan really unless it gets a lot worse then she said to go to the local epu. I did wonder about the bloods. can you just do that at the gp?

Hey Face I know it's hard but try not to worry, have you called the clinic for advice? Another thread I was on had a similar situation, too early for a scan so they did daily blood tests to make sure the hormones were doubling, is that a possibility? Rest a lot and stay out of the snow. {{{{{Hugs}}}}}
