Hi lovely ladies xx Trying to catch up with you all, am so crap on here so sorry.. So many of us now, which is great but its like reading a novel every time I log in.
Saw my Consultant this morning and have decided to have a 2nd shot of IVF in May. Had a baseline scan, 2 follicles on right, 3 on left (so like loads then ahhhh) and a small endometrial cyst on left of 1 cm (bastard) but she is unconcerned. My cycles have gone long since Mabel's birth and she wants me to lose 10lbs to a stone. Was wanting to crack on this month so if anyone can tell me a really good plan to lose that in 3 weeks time I am all ears but I think it will be May and will hopefully give me the chance of a weeks holiday in the sun.
My Consultant is amazing, she does a lot of humanitarian work in India and has just returned from Nepal at a medical camp where she was lead Gynaecologist. That all said rather a random topic to start talking about "so I ve just returned from camp, just as she was giving me dildocam!!" It just reminded me about "band camp" American Pie!! Ewww
I think someone mentioned about Cryos donors ages back. I'm a teensy bit apprehensive about using the same donor but Consultant Obstetrician said the Edwards syndrome was a sporadic non disjunction and the Bank said no issue with sperm and my clinic were happy with their response too. I still want Mabels sibling and with this donors sperm I got pregnant but I must admit I have a little nag in my mind that says the clinic have had this happen before and their client chose a different donor and I have just read about a family who had a 2nd occurrence of the syndrome (which is terrifying) but I ve been told a 1 pc risk and a 5pc risk overall taking into account my age, and the other trisomies. I think I have a 3 pc risk of a Downs baby but also a 95% chance of a completely healthy baby. Had a 12 % chance of getting pg with IVF the first time, and then a 1 in 6,000 chance of Mabel being born alive with Edwards so statistics just confound me totally now and I could over analyse this to death. My Consultant Obstetrician would monitor me closely from an early stage of any pregnancy, esp if I ve used own eggs but even if I chose later to adopt donor embryo or an egg cycle due to my anxiety he also will
Kwik hope you get some answers in order to move forward with next plan and your AF returns soon and hugs for the anniversary of finding out your BFP, I remember getting mine around 2 weeks after yours , Caution I know how you ll be feeling following endo op, keep your feet up and be pampered. Pickle am so sorry your struggling. I have given up on my bereavement counselling as I just feel that its not helping, and I just need to get thru in my own way. I hope you find something/someone that/who can help you. Calz so so sorry to hear of your still birth, excruciating thing to have to go thru, brave to be retrying. I am petrified but know I just have to go for it again.
