Excellent egg buddies - for all who are IVFing in July/August/Sept

[twinklestar2]

Over here ladies!

Massive congrats to NookNook!! Great start to the new thread.

Twinks - I can remember fondly! I am so sick of squash and water - pimms, wine, shandy, g&t I would take any of these right now! Maybe I could have a cheeky wine post ec pre et... Is that super naughty?

I had a few glasses Wim. It was super tasty and well deserved

I am a massive fan of non alcoholic beer now. I think it must be the sunshine, but in a shandy, it's immense

Ooh a large glass of spiced rum and coke would be just heaven for me right now

Failing that there's a coffee shop that I only tend to see in train stations called AMT which now does a frozen chai latte - totally dreamy and an excellent way of getting the milk in board no??

Oh Fab I love AMT! I love chai latte. It's a win win!

Good call - becks blue isn't too bad and a shandy is definitely perfect in this heat. I've been sitting and reading my book with all the doors open and have just spontaneously burst into sweat.....why???!!!

Yes it is maybe!! Simple pleasures eh

That'llbe the hormones Fab . I sweat if I walk. But inside Im cold. Figure that one out!

I'm sitting watching endless box sets - sweating... It's gross. I'm not normally a sweaty Betty - we couldn't have had worse weather for being hormone pumped. Anyone else getting hot flushes that wake them up? Has convinced me I'm going on hrt when the time comes!

3.8%= excellent fertility potential

So we have no further answers apart from its looking more and more likely that its me that is the issue.

Tame what sort of analysis was this? How are you feeling?

Its a DNA fragmentation test. If DNA fragmentation is high there is a high chance of mc, arrested slow growing embryos and no blastcysts on day 5. We tick all these boxes yet the test hasn't shown it. Our karotyping is normal.

AAAAGGGGHHHHHH!! Something is missing. What is it???

Thank you for all your support today though. I have had butterflies all afternoon.

Can't believe we still have no answers....

What is wrong with us?? X

tame sorry you still haven't really got any answers, when will you be able to talk the results through with someone? Hugs x

I'm so sorry you don't have the answers Tame. Do you have another appointment with the consultant to talk through the results?

Yes,13th august. We will be ok. Im just mega disappointed.

I think we will give it one more go this year with my eggs and if the result is the same, I will head to Europe for donor eggs. Its got to be my eggs

I have been very ignorant today- sorry. Will do personals later. Just going to pilates class then ill be back.

I think I need chocolate tonight

Not ignorant Tame, so far from it. Hope the Pilates helps. And eat all the chocolate you need x

Tame we are all here for you today! So sorry it wasn't the answer you were looking for but you are now one step closer to finding the answer. If that helps. Probably not. Shut up Nook you fool.

Big hugs tame xx

nook xxxx

Maybe I should see it has one thing ruled out rather than an answer I haven't got.

I have been lurking for a while but itching to join in though we won't be starting till January.
Short back story, have two DC (greedy I know)
Abandoned cycle
7 blastocysts on long protocol, 1 BFP and DS 4
2 FET BFN
1 egg on short protocol BFP DD 2
So will be 38 and pushing my luck for one more BFP but hoping that none of you will be on here by then but nursing big tums and swollen cankles

Hi tame. Guess it's good news re your DH sperm, but I understand how difficult it is to feel that 'you' are the problem. Are there more tests to be had? Can I ask why you would be reluctant to do donor egg IVF? I know this is a hugely personal issue, with no rights or wrongs, so every stance is valid and to be respected. I know that when tests pointed to my fertility being the issue, I was so keen to bypass it in order to minimise the risk of mc and the emotional trauma that goes with it.

Whatever path you go down, you will achieve your dreams due to your sheer determination and positivity. X

tame, glad you've got a bit more info, but annoying you haven't got any concrete answers for them to give you advice that you need to do this and that, and then you'll have your baby. Extremely frustrating for you. Hope the appointment with the consultant will give you more information and ideas to digest.
Eat loads of chocolate this weekend!

Welcome macfi! Bloody hell, sounds like you're an expert at this! I'm crossing my fingers for those cankles. Now that's something I never thought I'd say! We'll be calling on you for advice.
Good luck for January.

OMG I wrote a massive post and lost the fucker!!!!

hello everyone I hope you are all well and ok- preggos, PUPOs and druggies I love you all but I cannot type that fucking post again.....

couple of things though....

wim what box set are you watching?

joos skidmark update? and nipples too?

fish nook nomaybe hope you newly preggos are all ok xxx

choco fingers crossed for good embies over the weekend xxx are you looking at a sunday transfer?

Also, wanted to get something off my chest. 'supportgate' has upset me. I try to be supportive on this thread and I can hand on heart say I have done my best and tried to give as much support as I receive. I am offended that someone thinks otherwise. nuff said.

So, the test didnt show what we hoped. Never mind.

motor I am very open to the idea of donor eggs. To be honest, I am open to anything that will help us acheive our goal.

Genetics do not make you a parent. Genetics are a code that tells you 'who' made 'who' but I can honestly say that speaking as someone whose daughter is raised by someone that is not her dad, genetics do not make a parent.

My DH is my DD's Daddy through and through. She runs to him when she is hurt, he cheered her on yesterday at sports day and they share jokes and cuddles constantly.

Thats the things that make you a parent.

BUT, I do want to exhaust things with my own eggs. I am only 32 and I just dont feel I am done yet with my own eggs
