Eggsellent Egg buddies! For those having ivf during April, May and June and any others still around :-)

[starsandmoonandback]

Couldn't see another thread so thought I'd make our new one

No but I think other clinics in Czech Republic do.

A telephone consultation with dr gorgy is £200!!!

I KNOW it doesn't cost that man £200 to pick up the phone- what a scam!!!

DH was looking at midland fertility services last night and said that they do immune testing. But it's £250 to register as a patient.

I think we may have a few months out, save some pennies then look at immunes. In the meantime, I'll see what tests my gp is willing to do....

After 3 miscarriages I now meet NICE criteria for recurrent mc testing.

Every cloud.....

£200 for a phone call is a rip off

At care I think immunes cost about 2 grand for the full range of tests. I know that most people can get the GP to do all the level one tests to bring the cost down. Res have you had immunes done?

Yes, I think I am going to speak to my gp.

Siobhan quenby has a recurrent miscarriage clinic only 10 miles from where I live so I think I'm due a referral

DH is reluctant to dive in and put the frozen ones back too soon- I think we need to chill and explore options on this one first x

Tame I'm not surprised your fed up. I'm upset on your behalf. Yes, immune tests are ridiculously explensive - I'm supposed to get some more done as the dopey doctor didn't tell me to get them done when I got all the others done back in Dec/Jan. Not sure I'll bother now. What we found out though was that DP and I had some kind of gene which clashed with each other so we were advised to only implant one to improve chances of its survival. Oh and the gluten free diet. We also had the pgd as well. I really hope the NHS will look carefully into why this happening to you tame. Will your clinic give you any kind of feedback appointment?

Think DH is very sensible about time to chill out.

The Czech clinic have been really supportive. I think I will have to have further testing here though.

Xx

Sorry i lost you all.

Tame, I don't know what to say and i just wish i had the words to make you feel better. I was an egg buddy when you had your mc last year, and I was so hoping for you that everything was going to be OK this time. I really hope that this is not the end, i hope that the test today shows doubling or tripling. This isn't fair. xxx

Thinking of you, Tame

Cups - no, no immune testing here - think they assumed not really an issue when we went to Care as DD only 2 and had had ERPC at 10 weeks after blighted ovum - body wouldn't let go even when nothing to grow .

Tame, hope you are OK.

Tame, I'm so sorry it wasn't better news today. Will they test your bloods again next week tho? You are technically pregnant according to the hcg numbers. I paid £1000 for all the level 1 immune tests and even though they came back clear, I was glad I did them as I could rule that out as a factor for failed implantations. It's def better to identify something so you can then at least address it, rather than blindly doing cycles within chance of it working. You can develop immune issues after having one child. I hope you can come up with a plan, of you need to.

Res, I was the same with my blighted ovum I had to 'medically manage' my miscarriage at 10 weeks as my hcg kept going up (although it was low, it kept doubling). My body thought it was pregnant as it kept growing the sac but no baby in it. Bloody awful.

Hi to everyone else xx

Morning everyone, just a quick visit as we are off down south for my nephews christening. I'm dreading it as we will be the only people there without kids.

I just wanted to pop by and check on Tame. I was thinking about you a lot yesterday. I'm really upset that you are going through this, it's not fair

Cups ((hugs)) it means you can drink lots, have whole conversations, eat your lunch/dinner with two hand and whilst it is still hot etc.... small consolations I know that said I had rather a lot to drink at DS's christening

Cups, hope you can enjoy today honey. Vals right, try and enjoy the little things and next year hopefully you'll be joining them all. Hugs x

Cups . Hope you enjoy it. They might have kids but he's your nephew and that's special in itself.

Thanks cups (((())))) hope the day goes ok x

2nd blood test today, results later. Tests are negative now.

Oh Tame I am so sorry what have your clinic said?!

It's such a hideous place to be right now x

Speaking to co-ordinator on Tuesday to plan what to do next.

Noticed PGD at our clinic is only €1500- that's not bad is it???

No - that is incredibly reasonable...well, in comparison to my clinic which is £4500

Afternoon lovely egg buddies

I've been having a little break from mumsnet but check this thread every now & again to silently cheer you all on.

tame I was around last year when you had your previous cycles. To say I'm gutted for you is a huge understatement. I'm so terribly sorry to hear you're going through this again. I too was really hopeful that this cycle would be the one. Big hugs.
I'm currently under-going tests for repeated implantation (5 blasts transferred over 3 cycles & not a whiff of a BFP). I read that you've had the NK cells test - I'm due to have that in a few weeks, but I've also given loads of blood for other immunes testing (including thyroid & karyotype for me & DH). PM me if you would like any details.

Thanks brooker xxx

2nd hcg is 15

tame I'm so so sorry my love. I hope you get some answers from the clinic. That price is good btw, cetainly cheaper than here in Spain. Think we paid around 3000 for ours but I'll try to remember to check later. xx

Really very sorry to hear your news Tame. I don't think there is anything I can say but am sending you lots of love and a big virtual hug. I do think immune testing is worth a shot. I started reading de beers: is your body baby friendly and thought it very interesting. It was to be my next port of call. It might be expensive but if there is an issue it will be worth it. The other thing you should consider is the pgs testing. Hope you are bearing up ok. Thinking of you. Xxx

Sorry Tame, this infertility and subsequent treatment is so cruel. I have nothing to say that will help I know but I have been thinking of you. Xxxxx

Yes - I was previously Onelittlebugbear. Now considering a second cycle in June although I don't feel optimistic. I think we will end up needing donor eggs or sperm or possibly just donor embryos which will mean going abroad. I'm so fed up. It's all just so hard. In the next few weeks I have six friends due to give birth, two on my birthday! Baby after baby after baby. It does feel like the universe is rubbing my face in it a bit tbh.
Facebook is also tipping me over the edge. I think a combination of pmt, dh being a prick and the injustice of the whole situation is really getting to be this weekend. Nothing nice ever happens, it's one miserable turn of events after another.

How was the christening cups? Not too over run with babies I hope...
