Aww banana, that is lovely news so pleased for you. It must be very exciting!

Trixie, when is your NHS appt? Can't be much longer?

Who is kicking off next? Is it me and Sammy?

I'm off to Czech for my hysteroscopy on Monday. Feeling a little nervous. I hope they don't find anything but if they do I've paid extra to have them deal with it there and then so hoping to come away with a shiny, new uterus all ready for transfers! Another thing ticked off the list. Will keep you posted.

Banana, such fantastic news. :)

Lucie love the fact you'll have a perfect uterus!

loopylou1984 · 05/02/2016 22:24

Banana - so glad it was good news :).

Lucie - I'll be starting around 28th Feb, how about you? Xx

lucieloos · 05/02/2016 22:29

Yes about the same Sammy, I'm expecting af around the 28th and will go in for baseline to check I'm ok to start. Let's hope it's a lucky cycle for us both.

Have my appointment on Wednesday morning Lucie! I hope your hysteroscopy goes ok and there is nothing to remove.
I had my TH1:TH2 bloods done on Wednesday so waiting on those (takes up to 2 weeks)

I think we're hoping we can start in April (would be around the 6th looking ahead) would give us time to get immune treatment sorted hopefully.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend Smile

bananafish81 · 06/02/2016 19:26

lucie tonnes of luck for your hysto - hope it goes well and you come back beautifully polished and ready for a beautiful blast

sammy you're so close! Are you going to try acupuncture? We are all here for you cheering you on with pom poms

trixie that all sounds really sensible. My friend got her tx with Dr G sorted out really quickly, had it alongside her NHS cycle. Keeping everything crossed for you

star your slot is booked on track BFP calendar m'dear!

mpp hope everything is going OK with all the million and one things you have going on. Re the pre seed - we got on much better with that than Conceive Plus, which got so sticky it was like trying to have a shag stuck together with PVA glue Blush

Boris hope you're doing OK

Have lovely weekends one and all xx

loopylou1984 · 07/02/2016 04:27

Hi girls, just to let you know I'm off on holiday for a week so probably won't be around much.

Banana - I haven't booked any acupuncture. Might give them a call and see if they think it's worth it when I get back.

Hope you're all okay, Xx

lucieloos · 07/02/2016 09:07

Thanks Banana Smile

Have a brilliant holiday Sammy!

bananafish81 · 07/02/2016 09:23

Have a fab break Sammy!! Xx

MPP81 · 07/02/2016 09:49

Have a fab holiday Sammy! Hope you come back feeling lovely and relaxed! :)

Brilliant news about the HCG Banana. I'm sure it will have shot up again on Monday :) I'm looking forward to trying the preseed. We tried concieve plus too and it was not an enjoyable experience!

Good luck with the hysteroscopy Lucie! Loving the shiny new uterus comment!

Good luck with your appointment on Wednesday Trixie! April isn't far away now, so hopefully not long for you to wait.

Hope you're doing OK Boris!

Still waiting for AF here, so no news, though headaches from hell suggest she isn't far away now.

star1980 · 07/02/2016 10:12

Have a great holiday Sammy!

Great news on your hcg levels Banana, sure they'll be up again tomorrow.

Good luck for tomorrow Lucie. Will you be staying over? Not sure how uncomfortable it is, is there any recovery time needed? Anyway, delighted you'll be all shiny and ready for ivf in a few short weeks!

Good luck for Wednesday Trixie, FINALLY your appointment has arrived! Let us know how it goes, really hope you can get going before April.

Boris, when are you off to Czech?

Hope everyone's weekend is going well Smile

lucieloos · 07/02/2016 10:20

Thanks Star, I'm flying to Prague this afternoon and staying over night there and then getting the bus in the morning to the town where the clinic is. The procedure only takes about 20 mins but I will stay at the clinic a few hours for recovery. I'm flying home later on that night though. I normally do the same with egg collection and I can't imagine it's much worse than that so fingers crossed it should be ok.

Happy holidays sammy!

Lucie - good luck for your travels and the procedure.

star, I'm hoping to go to Czech early March, start the drug taking on about the 19th/29th. Not long to go....

lucieloos · 08/02/2016 13:19

Hello, had my hysteroscopy in Czech this morning. It was all pretty straight forward. They said everything is completely normal. There's no fibroids, polyps or adhesions so nothing to remove and nothing that could hinder implantation. Really glad I got it done for peace of mind as I have always wondered. Off for a yummy meal now and then bus to Vienna for our flight home in a few hours.

Found wifi!

Glad everything's ok Lucie :). Xx

bananafish81 · 08/02/2016 13:52

Brilliant news lucie - the oven is sparkling clean and ready for a bun to go in Grin

Have a lovely lunch and safe flight home x

Trixietwenty16 · 08/02/2016 13:53

Glad it was all ok Lucie!

lucieloos · 09/02/2016 07:53

Thanks everyone, that was a very hectic couple of days but glad I went and got it done. I kind of feel like the plan is falling into place a little now. I know there's nothing wrong inside me which could prevent implantation so the plan is NHS in Feb/March. If that fails mini IVF in Czech in May and maybe June in an attempt for a couple more frosties then NHS again in July. If that doesn't work begin transferring frosties and throw the kitchen sink at it will full immune support! Surely some of that has to work lol.

MPP81 · 09/02/2016 11:46

Glad to hear everything went well Lucie! So exciting for you to have such a fab plan in place. Everything crossed for you, as always! :)

lucieloos · 09/02/2016 21:55

Thanks MPP!

Good luck with your appt tomorrow trixie.

Lucie that's brilliant news.

Good luck trixie today and big hugs to all Thanks

bananafish81 · 10/02/2016 10:15

Good luck today trixie Thanks

Trixietwenty16 · 10/02/2016 10:57

Thanks ladies, I don't think it could have gone much better!

The Dr. was lovely, apparently we are entitled to one fresh cycle and one FET. Pretty much as expected with my results (pco) and DH sample wasn't quite as good as the private one so they will likely do ICSI. She suggested proxeed so will look into that. Best of all is that one of the other consultants does NK cell treatment. I am booked in to see him on 17th March so may well be able to get prednisolone and intralipids at the hospital to save having to deal with more than one clinic. Will be on the same protocol as before and FX will be able to get going in April. Overall we are feeling very positive Smile

lucieloos · 10/02/2016 11:29

That's brilliant news trixie! Sounds like it all went really well and great if you can get your immunes done there too. That's interesting that your dhs sample wasn't as good and you may now need icsi as its always been perfect before hasn't it and no problems with male factor?
