How is everyone? Have you all spoken to the clinic? I started progynova yesterday so should transfer 15th June. Xx

Hi @wanab ooooh that's brilliant! Wow, not long! My husband is having a myoxsis sperm test done on 17th so we'll see what that brings back. Have you been told to self isolate during treatment? xx

wanab · 27/05/2020 18:27

No not specifically. I'm still on furlough at the moment but will go back when work need me. I will just be careful. I've bought 80% alcohol gel to use, and will take precautions.

Hi, new here 👋🏼
Quick introduction we got icsi funding confirmed before the lockdown, husband is getting his sperm frozen next week then I can discuss my protocol!

Hi. I hope everyone is getting on well with getting everything going again. Does anyone know how blood tests are working at the Countess? Need an up to date HIV, etc test before I can do a FET. Just trying to decide if I can fit it in in July with absolute minimal time off work or if I should wait til I'm off in August.

wanab · 09/06/2020 22:43

Not sure I'm afraid. I transfer again Monday. X

bec656 · 10/06/2020 08:21

@Ohyesohyeah I've got my HIV etc blood tests at the Wellness centre next week so you might not have to go to the Countess

Ohyesohyeah · 10/06/2020 22:27

@wanab very very best of luck. Will be thinking of you Monday.

@bec656 thanks. What options were you given for times for it?

bec656 · 11/06/2020 17:53

@Ohyesohyeah I wasn't given options, they just said a date and a time for the appointment, but it was fine for me so I didn't need to ask about anything else. Hope you get things sorted soon

Ohyesohyeah · 11/06/2020 19:07

That's really helpful. Thank you.

PennyBC26 · 11/06/2020 19:49

@wanab Wishing you luck for Monday!! Good to hear from you all ladies, it is great to hear that things are moving in the right direction for you all xx

wanab · 26/06/2020 07:22

Ding ding ding. Baby King hopefully due 3/3/21! Grin

PennyBC26 · 26/06/2020 08:49

@wanab Yesssssss!!!!!! Wow! Huge congratulations!! Absolutely wonderful news, that's cheered me up today!! xxx

wanab · 26/06/2020 09:00

Thanks @PennyBC26 😍 my lines are better this time too! 😘

PennyBC26 · 26/06/2020 16:32

@wanab was it a FET? Did you do anything differently this time? I'm hoping to start in August for my egg collection and then genetic testing. I can't stop worrying that they will all come back abnormal! xxx

wanab · 26/06/2020 19:05

Yeah FET. I used the clexane same as last time, but not the steroids because of Covid. 🤞

Matilda128 · 26/06/2020 19:37

That is brilliant news @wanab ! Congratulations!!! x

PennyBC26 · 26/06/2020 23:24

@wanab I've not heard of Clexane, I'll look into it! xx

wanab · 27/06/2020 07:41

It's a blood thinner. X

PennyBC26 · 30/06/2020 09:36

Hi ladies, just wondering if any of you had done a multi cycle before...either a duo or trio? Trying to decide whether or not to go ahead with this, just worried that it is a lot for my body and worried it might effect the quality of my eggs xx

wanab · 30/06/2020 13:21

I haven't, but a friend did. She managed to get a few frosties from it I think. X

PennyBC26 · 30/06/2020 21:41

@wanab Thank you! Hope you are doing well xxx

wanab · 01/07/2020 07:40

Thanks. 5 weeks today and nice lines on a test. 2-3 on a digital.

PennyBC26 · 01/07/2020 09:27

@wanab That is so amazing!!!! xx

wanab · 17/07/2020 16:43

Had my 7+2 scan today. Little baba is looking good. A nice heartbeat and measuring spot on. ❤️ Hope this is my take home!
