We swear! We have to start a new thread every week! But we are the most gorgeous bunch of ladies ever and will do anything to get a baybee in our tumtum.

Get nattering.....

choco hello! Was worried about you x

During stims I took inositol 3750mg a day, an a-z multivit, DHEA 25mg 3x a day, fish oil, selenium 200mcg a day and chromium 200mcg a day. Stopped everything at egg collection.

I read something about not taking royal jelly or bee propolis during stims as they are oestrogen based, who knows! I'm taking co q10, vit c, l-arginine, high strength colic acid, vit b complex, vit D3, high strength omega 3 and pregnacare. I was taking maca and wheatgrass but not sure if it's still ok to take them during stims. I don't want to ask the clinic as I'm scared they might say stop everything!

Don't know what colic acid is, folic!

choco we've talked about DS but not DE, because there has never been any suggestion that it's my eggs that are the problem. We ruled out DS because I want to have Mr euro's baby, not someone else's (I'm not judging anyone else's choice in any way, this is a very personal decision and the conclusion we reached is the one that is right for us). We have discussed adoption, but not made any decisions on that. I suspect if we don't manage to have a child we will just decide to embrace a life of cute pets and exotic travel.

Sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with the drugs. It won't be for too long, but it's horrible when you are going through it.

I know it's not much help, but my clinic told me not to take anything other than folio acid! I find it so interesting how much things vary between clinics!

Oh, I took coq10 and l'arginine as well.

The donor discussions on here are really interesting to me at the mo- we have discussed it A LOT and I think the conclusion we have come to is- we dont care whose kid it is anymore, we just want one healthy kid. is that wrong??!!

I took propolis.

The specialist is for boys stuff, no not at the argc they are really just focused on girly bits ;) the specialst is called Mr. Ramsay.

I'm really not sure about the DE thing at all. I think if our final try doesn't work, then I think we will be childless...

I have heard of Mr. Ramsay- he is very highly spoken of on FF.

If DHs test on Saturday comes back shocking then we may be booking in ourselves...

We are taking the stop at nothing view at the mo but its only because we are pissed off at having finally 'got there' then miscarried.

I think we will wait to see what this test shows then make some solid decisions....

Evening all.
There's been a lot going on today so only just had time to catch up.
euro I feel incredibly sad about your news. As others have said-it may not be over yet. What makes you think it hasn't worked? Tell me to keep my schneck out if I'm being too nosey.
motor mejust give it another couple of days. That way you'll know for sure either way. Keeping everything crossed for you both.xx
tame why did you stop taking the supps after ET?
juicy 5lbs . Remember you are now eating for 3 2.
choco don't know what busereliin is-? I'm on gonal f only until sat then start with cetritide ( which should be a huuuge barrel of laughs as I have to mix it before stabbing myself-I may just lay on the floor to begin with & cut out the middle man...)
3 egg omelette for tea . I feel sick...need DH back home as he always usually does the cooking.
Hi to everyone else

brooker clinic advised to just take folic acid after EC.

Thanks tame. It's a minefield this is!! Makes life simpler though so may go with it.

Tame we had the same discussion as you. If DH's sperm didn't work, we were going straight to donor. The clinic even tries to get us to do it this cycle, but we thought we would give it a bash not in the biblical sense

tame Before I knew about donor egg IVF (it was unknown to me 6 months ago) I was very happy to consider adoption, and would have been perfectly happy if someone had just chucked a baby over the garden wall to me! To me, it is about the relationship and bonds you make as a natural result of caring, nurturing and protecting a child. I have total respect for people who don't want to consider it, it is a very personal matter, but I have never had any misgivings at all

I just got what looks like faint positive on first resonse but will wait till tomorrow.

It's such a personal thing isn't it - DH was quite happy thinking about a DE but was quite surprised when I suggested the idea of DS! For us though, after many long and hard discussions it's our baby or no baby and we'll bugger off, do some travelling and probs completely change our lives by living overseas and doing all the things it's more of a challenge to do with a family. So this is our last chance saloon.

I had all the wrong things for dinner last night as i met up with old school friends I haven't seen in 22 years for high tea! Scones, cakes and tiny sandwiches with no crusts - gorgeous total sugar rush in the way home afterwards tho.

Oooooh mejust...keeping fingers crossed

mejust tentative huuuge

Brilliant mejust! Fingers crossed for us both! My line yesterday was so faint you could hardly see it. Today it is definitely darker, though I am still not feeling optimistic, and fear it could all disappear.. Hopefully tomorrow yours will be darker too. X

euro are you going to test again? How are you feeling?

Good luck with the call beer and maybe.

I'm sooo excited for you Euro and Motor!

Good luck with the calls today Beer and Maybe.

Another exciting day on the thread!

Motor yeah it very faint and wasn't sure if evap but was in time what test did you use.

Motor and Mejust this is amazing news!! I'm so pleased for you both x

I used FRER mejust, I don't trust the digital ones. How about you?

Mejust! What amazing news! You too, Motor! I am so, so happy for you both xx
