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

Buzzy- we had icsi but icsi doesn't overcome DNA issues. The sperm can look normal, its the DNA thats fucked. Makes it really hard to pick good ones.

We are screwed if this comes back bad =(

makes sense

Right, I've decided to turn the engine off, get the pipe out of the exhaust and get out of the garage. No point worrying about what we can't control, eh? Fuck the weather...I'm going to Brno to get my baby

Now...where are those fucking arm bands?

Tortie, you are so very tenacious. Your story is exactly(ish) the same as my 'friend' from FF who has had own-egg IVF umpteen times and then twice at Cyprus with donor eggs. She finally went to ReproG and got BFN so the clinic told her they suspected her husband's sperm was fragmented. They did the test and it came back 32% fragmented when the upper linit they would consider for using his sperm for IVF was 30%. She is having one last shot at IVF at ReproG next week using donor egg and donor sperm. She is so excited because at long last she has surrendered to the fact that her DH has been the problem all along.

Buzzy, thank you so much for finding out that flight info, really thoughtful of you. DH is like me: we resolutely refuse to dwell on stuff that's really out of our hands. We are also very limited financially after all this and so cancelling and re-booking flights (plus you can only fly to Brno from Stansted - fecking t'other end of the country) is out of the question. We'll get there

Sorry not to name check but I'm so very tired tonight. I'm thinking of all of you struggling with the drugs/injections. Deep breath....this, too, will pass X

P.s Buzzy, I haven't sorted insurance out yet

Juicy- im glad we are looking into this now before we spend lots more money on oe and de cycles. I will be mega suprised if this came back anywhere near ok. The 30% limit shocks me. DH is frantically researching what dose vit e to take....

you can get IVF insurance, might be worth looking into if the clinic won't refund for any reason you can't get there, I think it was £95 you don't want to lose out

Juicy- you are right, you can't control the weather. Chill. Get your head out t'oven.

It won't always be dark at 6 xxx

juicy I was really hoping that they would go to blasto but unfortunately they just didn't have enough if the strong stuff in em!

DH little fellas are very much like him!! Apols for my lack if specifics here but for some reason i leave him to remember his stuff and me to remember my bits! On his first test he had something like 4times the average volume and twice the average quality but motility was a bit of an issue as they were all out to party and got a little bit lost along the way! All in all tho the first two outweighed the downside of the last. On d day though it was a different picture and pure volume seemed a bit of an issue - performers nerves methinks! They did offer Icsi but we had decided beforehand that it wasn't the route for us and we thought we'd done pretty well considering!

Nook We are doing ivf with zita west so have had the nutrition advice too - I didn't try the whey thing before but might give it a go this time - it's bound to taste vile isn't it!

euro good to hear you are in similar dates - what protocol are you on?

juicy deep breaths :) I'm in the 'think of the amazing stories you'll have to tell WHEN in it all works out well' camp!

Thanks very much tame for your summary and list - it is really hard to keep up with everybody!

My FF 'friend' (who is having FET tomorrow) has just arrived at Prague airport with no delays and no sign of flooding and no rain. Hurrah!

Tortie, would your DH be okay with donor sperm? I'd leave my husband if he got all precious about it

Yeah, TortsAmazeballs, your succinct list was simply spiffing. Well done, old girl!

Ok... For the list....

Me, 27 PCOS tubes clear
DP 30 - seemingly normal sperm, shape a little abnormal
TTC 4 years, started on chlomid 50mg, 100mg then 150mg but nothing
Moved to injectables (Gonal F) to stim, got 1 follie after some work but nothing
Recommended to move into IVF with ICSI

IVF #1 - Mock ET tomorrow then start stimming Wednesday on Gonal F, estimated EC17 June

I'm spotting again

Oh no buzzy

Can your epu scan you again? If you are spotting they really need to have a look and check all is ok.

Are you still using the gestone?

Hand holding here xxxx

thanks tortie i'm hoping its the cyst thing in my cervix but I doubt it somehow, i'll see what they say

Contact them, cry and insist. You can't be left to worry and stress. Let us know xxxxx

Fab, we're doing natural ivf following a bad experience with downregging on our Nhs cycle last year (I never got to stimming-we quit as I felt so awful). it means we will only ever get a maximum of one egg and one embie but that's a price worth paying to avoid feeling like a complete mentalist.

Hugs buzz. Lots of women bleed. You will be fine. X

its bleeding cramping and loss of symptoms sadly as i'm a frequent flyer with EPAU

Is it light? Red? Brown?

pinkish brown they are so nice to me here at epau

Oh, no, Buzzy! Are you at EPU now? Praying your little bean is okay xx

Expat- no worries. Those ovitrelle worry me- bit of a non event isnt it?? If you are unsure, poas today and it should show up. DH is looking into the test today. We are hoping it will give us answers. Im not having another cycle till we know the sperm is ok.

Buzzy- are you at epu now?? Hope you are ok and getting sorted. You must be so worried. We are all praying for you xxxxx
