Ladies doing IUI or IVF - 2016 (11 BFPs so far!)
- Thread starter phonixgirl
- Start date
Hi ladies!
Mrs S, I'm so pleased to see all's going so well for u 😊 Hope that little blasto gets nice and snuggled in! 😊
Millie, great news ur finally getting to start this cycle! Sending u lots of positive vibes! 😊
Tinselcat- is there a plan for the next step for u yet luvvie?
Well, I wasn't gone long was i!
Decision has been made, I am going to go down the donor egg road. They think they will struggle a bit to match me as I have green eyes (typically rare) but I'm fair (Scottish blue and not even remotely Scottish
) skinned and blonde so if I'm happy with a blue eyed donor we should be able to progress nice and quickly. The clinic tell me they have a 60% success rate so that's positive. I've now just got to wait a couple of months for the probate on an inheritance I have been lucky enough to be left to come through and I shall begin! I am hoping this will go a lot more smoothly than the IVF. 
One slight complication is my ex (not the violent one!) is now single and wanting us to start again. I am tempted....but once a cheater always a cheater?? (Off topic I concede but any opinions gratefully received....he's wanting to walk in to a relationship where babies r high on the priority list. :s
Xx

Thank you 20% I thought this morning I was 3dp5dt but I'm only 2 
that a kick in the teeth haha!
Amazing about the donor eggs. I'm dark with green eyes but my sisters are fair with green eyes, we are Scottish though! Can you get donor eggs from other countries? There's plenty of us here that would have a match for you! Although saying that, I don't think eye colour matters. My sister has 3 girls (same father) and one is green eyed, one is brown and the other is blue. It's mad! So try not to worry too much!
As for your ex, that's tricky. I like to think people deserve a second chance and people can change. It's always a bit of a gamble though isn't it? Is there any reason you can't get pregnant naturally? (Hope that doesn't come across cheeky). Could you put things off with donor for even 6 months and see where things go with your ex if you still have feelings for him? Xx

IUI will be around 21 or 22 April I think, next scan Tuesday so will see how everything is looking.
20percent, that's a tricky one. I'm generally a believer if they do it once, they will do it again. It really depends on the circumstances that it happened under I guess. I know of one person that cheated once, it was totally out of character and never happened again. Then I know of those that said it was a one off but they were serial adulterers... Sorry, not very helpful I know. I think the biggest question is, can you trust him and do you love him enough to want to try again? I know I could never fully trust someone that had cheated on me and that constant worry at the back of my mind would kill the relationship eventually.
Congratulations on deciding to go with DE. Honestly, I would absolutely go that route, it's my OH that won't. Remind me which clinic you are using (if you don't mind sharing that info)?

Thanks 20percent 
so far so good but today is only day 4 of injections soooooo lol.
Scan tomorrow to see how everything is looking and responding. Hopefully will be good news!!
Fingers crossed that everything goes well when you are able to try with the DEs.
I'm not great at advice sorry.. If you've been apart a long time - people do change. Could be a good change or a bad one. If you are able to trust him and want to try again you could be careful I guess.

Glad you're back in the game 20%!
I agree with the others that it's really up to you and how much you care about him and trust him. Sometimes men who cheat do change because they realise what they had given up. It could be that after cheating he's realised the future he wants. Some men are just greedy though, want to have the cake and eat it too :/

Thank you ladies
MrsS...the 2ww is agony isn't it!! Only 6days to go now though....keep busy (or at least have a lot of good programmes recorded so u r distracted). Sending lots of BFP wishes ur way! 😊
I know what u mean about kids not necessarily looking like one or either of their parents. My friend has jet black hair and beautiful olive skin (I am just a little jealous of her tanning abilities) and her little girl is a blondie with blue eyes! I'm pretty sure I won't care less as long as he/she is happy and healthy and I will be doing them a favour by not inflicting my instant lobster red in the sun skin on them! Sadly no real chance of natural pregnancy, I am having an early menopause and the 3 eggs I managed to produce in the 3 IVF cycles were all very poor quality.....it could happen but it would be close to a miracle!
Syd....I've got everything crossed for ur IUi....I know it gets annoying hearing it but it just needs to find the right egg at the right time and ur there! No I don't mind at all, I am using Create Fertility. They have a few clinics around the country. If I'm brutally honest I chose them because the were nearly the cheapest I could find with a pretty high success rate. I also chose them because they don't have a lower limit on AMH levels. Most clinics won't even take u on if ur AMH is under 2 they took me on with my AMH at 0.6! If your OH does change his mind on the DE's then To have a DE cycle at Create costs around £7.5k but u then have to allow £2k for the donor's meds on top. :s
Fingers crossed for tomorrow Millie! 😁
MrsLaw I hope they stop messing around and get u in for ur consultation soon!
Ha....reading all ur advice was pretty much like seeing all the thoughts I have in my head written down! 😊 I am a hopeless romantic and I have always loved him very much. It's been 7yrs (and two kids for him) since we split. I dunno, I just don't think I have space in my head for him and me as well as for babies 😬 I don't think I'm willing to wait to see if he wants to be the dad rather than the donor either. :s I think it would be a huge amount of pressure to start a relationship by locking him in a room with a cup and a dirty mag....I would have to wait several months before we could realistically think about that and I'm not sure I'm willing to risk that. I guess time will tell, can't start anything till the money comes through so hopefully I will have a clearer idea of where we stand by then.
Apologies for another mamoth post! Xxx

Off to scan any min hope everything is doing what it should be! Different drugs make me kinda nervous?
After yesterdays stims I felt so so uncomfortable!! It was so painful to walk about or stand, so plonked myself to in bed and
got an early night. Now today I'm feeling totally fine, so weird!

There was one at 12, a couple at 11 and a bunch of 10s. They are worried about how many there are so having to pick up some 75mls and start taking 225mls instead of 300mls.
Starting Cetrotide tonight too. Then back on Monday for next scan.

Ah, I don't remember what I had at this point first time round either
I mostly just ignored any numbers at the scans as I had no idea what was good or bad and didn't want to worry
Hubby was in the room too and went does that mean we get that many eggs..
I wish! There's plenty of follicles, but I think there was last time too

Hi ladies,
How are you all? Millie, are you feeling any better? Do you have another scan today?
20%, have you made any decisions on your ex?
Syd, not long till your iui!
I'm 6dp5dt. My emotions are all over the place, so up and down I can't keep up. I've not felt well since transfer, buggy like. I've been really nauseous and last night I finally puked. Not feeling sick so far this morning! I'm cramping so much, back and stomach. My boobs are still really tender too. Not convinced any of them mean anything. The cramping is just new but feeling that's more towards a maybe impending af? I'm trying to stay positive but realistic! Xx
