Ladies doing IUI or IVF - 2016 (11 BFPs so far!)

[hopefulmum2014]

Through Serum (http://www.ivfserum.com/infection-screening/) they're based in Athens, all I needed to do was send a sample (from af) in the post and they do all the tests there so you don't need to visit.

I've read nothing but good things about them. xx

Thank you will take a look xxx

Hi girls
Not so good news today at the hospital... Today"s reading only 35... Consulted my other gynae I may result in chemical pregnancy according to her experience.... Bad feelings about it right now!!! Two more days later for the last test and that's it final... ������ what am I going to do ??? Started to cry now!!!

 

[xMillie]

Oh no May, I'm so sorry to hear that xx

 

[millielaura]

Oh may im so sorry that is so unfair. I really hope it turns out okay for you xxx

I've not spoken with anyone about sperm motility there but our results have always been ok. It could be worth trying if you oh's next results don't come back okay?

I had antibiotics in July before the miscarriage, but apparently I still have the above. So I guess different strengths/types? No idea! But willing to give anything a go at this point

when are you going back to your clinic? xx

I think we are going to try it and then retest in the hopes it will improve a lot the next few months with that and the vitamin D xx

Hi Girls

Thanks for the kind concern and words... I hope my bean can make it for tomorrow's test... Hope those numbers will keep going up up up!!!! I am so down after i know my numbers are low like 35 for the 2nd blood test.... Anyone has any similar issues like mine.... Pls share with me!!! I am going crazy over it...

 

[may_lin_tewin]

All the tests finally comes to an end final reading 64.9 which is too low for the third blood test... Doctor mentioned that i probably having chemical pregnancy and stop all progestrone jabs so now waiting for the HCG level to come down... That means i have to watch my little bb stop growing and disappear... Somehow so devastating and yet cant do anything to salvage... Many complex emotions right now.... Why is this happening????

 

[xMillie]

May I'm so sorry you're going through this xx

 

[lillith112]

May lin I am so sorry, life is so unfair, be kind to yourself. I watched my pregnancy tests fade and it's the hardest thing to go through, chemical or not that was still our baby, thinking of you.

Xmillie and Syd, can I ask how you got your prescription from Serum ?, I have tested positive for hidden Chlamydia which I am quite upset about. The prescription they emailed me said private prescription at the top ?, well our chemists surely won't take that ?, I'm panicking now as I don't know what to do ? I want us both treated asap. xx

Bless you, I was quite upset too.
Did they not attach instructions on how to get a hard copy prescription? As you need one to get it from a pharmacy. I asked Serum to mail me hard copy xx

 

[millielaura]

Serum have mailed us a hard copy for my husband for the sperm improvement programme..they just emailed me that email one and I replied asking how I got a hard copy and they said they'd send one

Very sorry May.

Lil, I believe Asda accept the prescriptions but as the ladies say, it may need to be a hard copy.

 

[lillith112]

No, there were no instructions with it, it just said here is the prescription, it says private prescription on and looks nothing like our nhs prescriptions. I did email them asking about it. I shall have to email Katie and ask for a hard copy to be sent to me. Do they post it ?, I expect it will take time to come from Athens. xx

 

[millielaura]

Yeah they said it's in the post now. They sent me a list of pharmacies and some do take email prescriptions or you could send it somewhere lol I thought having the hard copy here sounded easier.
I can't decide whether to have the hidden infection testing done. I did have antibiotics a few months ago for a tick bite, I said to her i will find out what type and let her know. She has prescribed OH doxy whatever it is and my doctor was going to prescribe me that but I said I was in tww and he prescribed me something else so hopefully I won't need more anyway. She recommended an Aqua scan though as says they like to do them after each pregnancy to check for scarring. And also said they would do iui with those numbers whereas out clinic here would only do ivf. I think we are probably going to go for it with them rather than here ..they seem super helpful plus I think we would stay a bit further out by the beach etc take my daughter away..that makes me feel less guilty..

I don't know if anyone else doing treatment for a second time feels the same but I feel super guilty spending money on this stuff when if I wasn't it would be going into her savings..even though I want a sibling for her sake more than anyone's. So being able to take her away and she can spend time with OH when I'm at the clinic makes me feel better about it! Plus they're reviews on facebook are amazing and they're willing to do iui with the numbers unlike over here. Hopefully the sperm improvement programme helps although how I'm going to get him to take antibiotics twice a day plus the other stuff is beyond me Haha! He said he will do it but he's soo bad at remembering xx

That's so weird! They didn't send millielaura instructions either but I had 2 attachments in my email with how to get the hard copy and where I can collect.

I'll be taking mine to Asda pharmacy when the hard copy arrives here.

You can send the email copy to one of their listed places in the uk that will then send you a hard copy, I just asked Serum for hard copy as figured it was easier.

 

[lillith112]

I got a reply with the instructions, ive asked them to email a place in UK called fertility2u, rang this place and they accept the email prescription but it has to be sent by Serum, another email and it's sorted, all I need to do is pay fertility2u and they send me the tablets, worked out around £53, thought that was easier than waiting to be sent a hard copy then finding a chemist that accept it. I read something about you have to see your GP to get it on nhs, sod that as it takes a month to get in to see mine. xx

 

[xMillie]

I'm trying my gp on Tuesday but I've heard it's unlikely they will prescribe them. A hard copy is on the way in the mail to me but worth a go asking gp while I'm there anyway I guess.

£53 isn't so bad.

 

[millielaura]

Let me know what they say Millie. OH is at the doctors for more vitamin D bloods on Monday so I wondered if we get the prescription by then if he should ask but doubtful they will. I heard Superdrug is good for private prescriptions? xx
