Put on your vest/shades and grab your weapons, it's Action Hero Time.

The BESH are experts in all matters action, but specialise in taking out the local droids and sometimes Druids Wink

Cover me, I'm going in!

And aries we can be IUI twins, just signed up for another cycle, since the positive O-stick turned into torrents of blood with clots was that a chemical then?

For mavis, married to SB (skinny bint) 34 been trying since summer 2010, unexplained, BFP last August, mc at 7+4 after SO IUI. Since then 2 failed cycles of SO IUI and a number natural ones.

Xxxxx to Norf

Have a lovely recharging/rebalancing sort of break, bugs. Am feeling ok. We've just had a massive row over nothing very much, so I think we are both feeling the stress of tomorrow's embryo transfer.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 18/02/2013 18:55

Have a nice time away, Bugsy. BTW I enjoyed your use of the word "fanny bullets". Veh descriptive.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 18/02/2013 18:54

Gosh! Well, you learn something every day.

FriendofDorothy · 18/02/2013 18:37

Have I missed fresh meat?

Quick intro from me as I lurk in the background. I am 37, The Mister is 32 and we had a first-time Clomid win after nearly 2 years trying. The Little Mister is nearly 10 weeks old and already showing that he is a boob man in the making.

maamalady · 18/02/2013 18:32

Nope, testes and ovaries are gonadal organs, and are analogous to each other.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 18/02/2013 18:30

Oh! I though gonads were just bollocks

maamalady · 18/02/2013 18:29

Of course it's to do with gonads! FSH stimulates the ovaries, which are gonads!

I think MrA might have a point, you know.

We get three rounds on the NHS - very lucky! No IUI or anything though, so it's a bit of a sea change from "go home, fuck a lot and hope" to "you are dead inside, we will do it in a petri dish for you". I think a couple of cycles of something a bit less hardcore might make it easier to deal with, but by now I don't want to waste the time.

Northey · 18/02/2013 18:26

Actually, I also have some gonal f left. I thought that as the pens are half-used it would be unhygienic, but as there are hundreds of needles supplied with it, that might not be a prob.

EuroShagmore · 18/02/2013 18:22

Sorry

It's FSH, I think.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 18/02/2013 18:19

Not to do with gonads

EuroShagmore · 18/02/2013 18:19

It's the stimming drugs, rie. They are super spenny.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 18/02/2013 18:18

What is a Gonal F pen pliz? Nothing to do with gonads I take it? Or is it?

Do it tomorrow, frank, you know you want to.

Northey · 18/02/2013 18:03

I have a couple of cetrotide spare as well. Though I'm not sure anyone saves anything by getting two for free, if you are buying by batch anyway.

One of the nurses at my clinic said that IVF success rates are pretty misleading. They are so low because an awful lot of people that go for IVF have pretty bad problems. If you have healthy eggs and swimmers the chances of success are actually pretty high, it's just that the average gets dragged down IYSWIM.

My boobs feel a bit hurty

EuroShagmore · 18/02/2013 17:47

Oh sorry, I thought it was Clomid/Letrozole for superovulation/IUI. I completely misunderstood when you were talking about pills. Doh!

Heh@MrA being a massive judgemental fascist. I think KFZK falls into that category too. I keep telling him that not being a gay man, his bitchiness really goes to waste...

The postcode lottery really is sh1t. I think the NICE guidelines still say you should get 3 rounds. Most people I know online and IRL live in areas where you only get one (as was the case for us, and we blew it). I think it was norf saying that the next PCT to her own offers three rounds. It's ridiculous that it is such a lottery when it is something so important.

BTW, if I get past 12 weeks, I will really need to get rid of the drugs (Gonal F pens) that we have had in our fridge since last March. I think each pen is worth £££s. It seems daft just to bin them if someone else is in need and they might make an IVF cycle a bit more affordable. So, in a couple of months if all goes well, I will see if any BESH are interested (for free of course; I'm sure I'd be breaking some regulation by selling them).

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 18/02/2013 17:37

So what I'm saying is, The Pill really won't work (or if it does something is Very Wrong)

MrA has a theory (and bear in mind he can be a massive judgemental fascist). He reckons that one of the reasons that IUI and IVF success rates are low is because so many people must do it wrong, because it's so complicated with this drug and that drug and this time and that time. It's easy to fuck it up.

Not saying I agree, but, you know....it's something to cling onto.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 18/02/2013 17:35
Grin

Ah, I should have been clearer. The pills are just, well, The Pill. I have to do that to shut down a cycle to time the next one. Or something....
