poor mimi - hope she's ok
ps if we have IVF money we don't need it'll be spent on a bug and a stokke cot!

No of course not, in which time you can either save for any more goes (though really hopefully not!!) or just have a nice holiday with what you have saved

Mimi has just bumped her head massively and DH has taken her to A&E. She has a lump literally the size of an egg on her head.

Well my PCT definitely offer three cycles now and my GP didn't think there would be any reason why we wouldn't get two more cycles. I've got to go through the referral system again though, firstly to my local hospital and then they can refer me for IVF. It's going to be a bit of a waiting game but if we get two more NHS cycles I don't mind waiting a bit

Have you heard anymore about that?

I don't know if you lurk on the been ttc no1 since forever thread but if not I can tell you a little bit of good news - it looks like I can have two more IVF cycles funded by the NHS When we did the IVF last year the PCT only funded one cycle but now they've changed the rules and are offering three goes

LOL. Empress much more appropriate. Or maybe Overlord/Supreme Ruler/Omnipotent.

I was going to say PrincessPearls but princess seems to have spoilt brat associations these days. She is a princess though, a little cutie

Haha- should call her Empress Pearls at the mo as she is going through a 'demanding' phase [wonders if she knows something is afoot]! But lots of fun, has started walking and talks all the time though in complete gibberish.

You should feel special- you are xx

Hey ladies, just popping in to keep up with everyone. I couldn't get that link to load but I am assuming that Ready has had her baby safely?

Scorpio, congratulaions on your scan. Another little girl wow, what are you planning on calling her?

Nomore, fingers crossed that you get some answers/good news soon.

LL - did I misread one of your posts there or did you say bubS?

Jamie is a monkey. He still isn't keen on food and is the most agile 13 month old ever. He tried to escape recently by climbing onto the sofa, then onto the window ledge, then was trying to climb out of an half-open window. Talk about needing eyes in the back of you head!

Sorry to hear you're having a tough pg, it doesn't sound like much fun Just keep your eye on the prize (or should I say prizes )
I guess really things aren't really taking that long, it's just that each bit isn't conclusive so it means more tests. They're all being done on the NHS so I shouldn't really complain. EP Nov, L&D April, HSG May, Consultation July, re-test Aug. Not too bad really, especially when some of it is waiting for a certain point in my cycle.
I did look at going abroad but I worked out that the full cost (hotels/flights etc as well as treatment) would be similar to the cost of IVF here (for me - I didn't need very high drug doses, that's where it costs more £) and I'd need to take annual leave to do it too. My IVF doctor here is very good and seems to be on the case about getting to the bottom of the problem, he's just held up by the NHS waiting lists he keeps putting me on. We've had a few consultations with him since the failed cycle and we haven't paid yet, so I'm quite happy with the service there.

Scorpio yay another girlie so not Dexter then....
LL hello, how are you getting on? The tests they want to do are because when they did the L&D after the EP they thought they saw scarring in the uterus, which would meant that the problem is with implantation. If that's the case then IVF doesn't give us any better chance of a sucessful pg so there's little point in wasting £4k on it. They want to look again to be sure if it's really there or not as the HSG I had didn't suggest there was scarring, so there's an element of uncertainty about this scarring. Have spoken to the clinic about egg sharing but not sure about it yet. I don't have a problem with sharing as such, but I'm not sure I could do it until I had a child of my own. If I never have a kid and my sharer did I'm not sure how I'd feel. Also because of adoption rules I'd be a known donor, so the kid could find out who I am at age 18, which could be hard if by that time I've had to resolve myself to never having kids. If we manage one kid then I would consider egg sharing to fund a second child as I don't expect we will have the disposable income once we've had number one!
