Eggcellent Egg Buddies: are you IVF cycling in June/July/August 2013? Then get your druggy arses over here for some pure fucking menkulling...

[juicypair]

NokklingtonStStation, I couldn't find a new thread so I made this one, cock. Hope I did the right thing

best to call them and see what they suggest, are you able to fly into Brno, maybe check with Bratislava see if you can fly into there

One of the FF girls is flying to Prague tonight and hiring a car to Brno for her FET tomorrow

Bratislava and Vienna are gearing up for the bastard Danube to burst its banks. Anyone got a rubber dinghy? Thank fuck I swim like a fish

...but at least the gorillas and tigers from Prague Zoo have been transported to higher ground

yes the ferry might be the way to go, what about flights into Brno

hope you have travel insurance

Juicy the person up-thread who asked you your dates was me.
You're just ahead of me - my EC is scheduled for 24th June, with ET anytime between 27th - 29th.
I think that mejust and nook have similar dates.
We should get these listed, ladies, because I for one am finding it hard to keep up with what's happening to who when!

Joosysqueezymelons WTF???!!!!!!! I am so glad to see you back but I am not glad to see you so stressed. What a nightmare. First off- the late period. Mine is late everytime I downreg. Its a fucking nightmare, I tell thee. I am beyond hoping now but I now that you were an instadiffer last year so you still have 'the hope' I'm sorry it turned up BUT onwards and upwards...

As for the flood, I am pissed off for you. Hope you get it sorted. [FFprayingiconandPMA icon] [andthebaseballbatone]

Your clinic sounds ace- I think if they are using proven donors they must be quite confident to guarantee so many blastocysts. Good eggs can overcome poor sperm so they are really relying on those eggs to get the embryo onto blastie.

Kerbera fab Hello welcome. I'm fairly new to this thread but am an old time TTC'er (6 years- dont judge me!) I love you both already and I want you to stay x

buzzy I am glad you have symptoms back I'm really really sorry if I dragged you down a bit the other day when I was being so pessimistic. Its just my coping strategy. You are going to be FINE xxxx

I have had the 2nd blood test today. My friend was not very hopeful He is such a lovely guy but really laid it on the line to me. We have a sperm DNA problem and we need to do the test before we have another cycle. I knew anyway- I had mentioned it on here- but it knocked the wind out of my sails when he said it. Then perhaps we will look at the greek protocol with antioxidants and antibiotics. We are screwed though, I know we are. We have lost 9 embryos over 2 cycles and had one miscarriage and failed fertilisation. The sperm aint up to the job. I'm gonna put my head in t'oven....

Waves to everyone else!!

respisa when do you cycle again my love??

nooknook hello xxx

nokkie whats occuring??

motorcycle hello xxx

justme hello xxx

wish hello xxx

(can you tell that I have lost track of where everyone is????????!!!!!!) WE NEED ANOTHER LIST.....with updates and stuff.......

juicy ryanair still have flights for Sunday straight to Brno for around £81

tortie I am sorry, yes its best to get the sperm looked at if you can, does your clinic do the dna fragmentation testing etc. Would you consider sperm donor.

I should apologise for being such a crazy mother trucker on drugs and for getting all hysterical like some wild animal caught in a trap not my finest hour but I feel it is not over with yet

The only place I can find that does the test is TDL in London. Its £430. But I think we would be mad not to do it and risk more miscarriages and failed cycles. I thought we were just unlucky to not get to blastocyst- it never occured to me that we may be able to pinpoint a reason.

Here is a link if anyone else is interested...

We tick 6 out of the 9 indications..... FML.

buzzy We are all here to listen and offer comfort. You are ok xxxx

I'm going to attempt a list, if its shit then please help me.....

Oh and buzzy we have talked about donors. On both our parts. We are both open to the possibility. It would be sad but we will consider it.

start with this list tortie

motor I'm 41, DH 39. Mmc at 12 weeks 2008 with a different partner, different life, still devastating. TTC since June 2011. Low AMH, high FSH, one blocked Fallopian tube. Give very low chance of success with natural conception or IVF, so going straight for donor IVF. Currently downregging on long protocol with egg transfer estimated to be around 24th June, all being well.

tortie TTC since Dec 2006
DH 33- 0% motility Me 31- AMH- 4.5 and mild endo and NK cells. booooo.
Beautiful daughter from previous relationship 2003
MMC May 2008 at 9 weeks- awful : (
Lap and dye x 2 with ablation.
Egg Sharing at CRM
~1 IVF EC on June 3rd 2011, 9 eggs, 4 for us, zero fertilisation for us and recipient. Gutted.
~2 ICSI EC 10th October 2011, 13 eggs, 6 for us, 5 fertilised. BFN.
Change of clinic to Nurture in Nottingham

pcos

resipsa Been TTC no.2 since Sept 11 (gawd, so much worse when you write it down). MMC March 12 (got BFP the week I went back to work after DC1 so should have known it was too good to be true). Nothing since. Failed short protocol IVF (after 3 embies put back) in May 13. Now seriously obsessed/depressed. Am 42. Where next? Thinking DE but DH not on board...

noks I have been clean now and off the booze for four months and three days. Oh, sorry, wrong group. Ttc for four and a half years. MC in July 2009. No luck since. Failed ivf in March 2013. Surprise bfp straight after ivf. 9+6 (or thereabouts - doctor thinks she may have over-measured by a couple of days). Am scared shitless. I have joined the ivf worriers board but for some reason don't think I quite belong there yet.

buzzy 40, Barry 39, TTC since April 2011, BFP 04/2011, MMC @ 6 weeks, BFP 09/2011 MMC @10 weeks, diagnosed with High NK cells. 5 rounds of SO, one with IUI. May 2013 DE IVF at Reprofit in Brno 2 good blastos put back with one in the freezer, BFP 05/13, unsure what is going on, taking drugs like a back street junkie, scan shows 1 sac and yolk

Guys! Guys! Guys! What do you think???? Buzzy, I have used your list and just condensed it- hope thats ok!! xxxx

I cant find details for twinks, choco and wish and anyone else I may have missed- sorry!!! Just add on and hopefully we can see who is where in the whole process.

If you think its shit just have a fiddle. Then sort the list out

buzzy it looks a bit of a science doesnt it??? Apparently, if the level is too high, they wont attempt to cycle with your own sperm- they will only cycle with donor

Hi all,

I'm going to the clinic tomorrow to kick off the process so will add to the list after the appt tomorrow.

Me and OH are 34, TTC first baby since Aug 2011.

tortie Barry doesn't really have anything on that list besides advanced age, he is 39 but his last SA SAID 99.5% of his sperm were crap and lazy not that we will cycle again but I would consder it otherwise, we never discussed donor sperm but as he had no prob with DE and adoption I don't think it would have been a big issue

great list by the way,

juicy hope you get things sorted, Prague didn't look too bad but I suppose it depends on what happens over the next few days

buzzy thats good- Barry managed to make your little bean despite crap sperm so cant be all bad!! My DH is coming out with a high count, no moving sperm and around 4% morphology. We make lovely little embies up to day 3, then they start arresting, slowing and we havent made a blastocyst yet. He is only 33, dead fit, doesnt smoke, drinks minimally and has no history of mumps, variocele etc. Its not fair really but we need to look further into this because we could be flogging a dead horse by keep cycling when we dont really know what the issue with the slow embryos is.

fab we have pretty similar stories - we've been trying since 2010 too, and I did IVF#1 in Jan, found out I was pregnant in Feb and miscarried in March at 8 weeks. We're heading for round 2 in June/July.

Sorry about the flood juice. What an awful thing to happen. I hope everything will be ok for you.

buzz lovely, you have nothing to apologise for. This is a tortuous journey for all of us.

Nice list work, ladies. It's great to be able to keep track of folks.

If there is anything I have wrong on the list at all, feel free to edit. I just tried to get a general jist from buzzys ace list so its easy to track at a glance x

Barry was

Total motility 14% lowest limits 40%
Progressive mobility 3% 32%
Normal Morphology .5% 4%

did you have ICSI ??

expat, I say just inject it and dont worry. If you have had a good dose you should be able to poas tomorrow and get a good dark line. A few drops won't matter.

I work in pharmacy- there is always overage in a syringe. Up to 10% sometimes x dont worry.

And add yourself to the list!!

a few drop won't make a difference, this happens with all meds
