Thanks Hun. I'm really excited. Don't know why as I have already failed at it before. But this is our last chance so giving it everything x

Hi everyone, it's been a while! Hope you're all ok, sorry haven't had chance to catch up yet.

Had my final consultation this week and was good and bad news really. They told me my egg quality in last ICSI was really bad. They've advised me not to go for another round of ICSI. She actually said she wouldn't be prepared to treat me again in that clinic. I'm actually relieved. If they had talked about another treatment protocol I may have been tempted to think about it, but someone saying no is easier. The only other option is to consider egg and sperm donation. No offence to anyone else doing this but I don't seem the point of doing both. I know it may give me chance of being pregnant but I can't see much difference to adopting. I would rather go the option which has more chance of making me a mother. I think at first all I wanted was to get pregnant and have a baby. Now I just want to be a mum. I can cope with not being pregnant and giving birth. I just want to care for a child and love a child.

A year off though for us first. I sadly had to say goodbye to my nan last week. A big part of my life. She showed me family was the most important part of life. But she also showed me not to take life too seriously. Life doesn't always go our way, but my nan would always make the most of what life gave. And I intend to do the same. I wish you all the best in your journeys to be mums and hope you're all happy xx

Jenny that sounds like a really sensible approach and I know that you've been through a journey to get to this point. I agree about the donation vs adoption part, I guess the only thing with donation would be that you'd carry the baby but on the flip side there's always that chance the treatment won't be successful and you'd go through all that to end up in the same place just months down the line.

I also relate to the bit about your nan. Sorry for your loss. My nan died over three years ago and I still miss her so much, the tears are pricking my eyes just writing this. You have a fabulous positive approach and tons of love and luck to you xxx

Jenny I wish you all the luck! You will be a great mummy whichever route you choose! Xxx

 

[JJ Mum]

Skeando - wishing you luck - totally understand re the injecting a day early this time - fingers crossed XX

Greakgirl - yayy for a date, and wow thats not long at all....

 

[JJ Mum]

JennyMarie - I was really sad to read your post, had a few tears myself, so sorry about your nan XX

However actually you sound really positive and really firmly decided on your now path to motherhood, which is always the best way to be, no looking back then or uncertainty or grey areas..

I agree in the doner and adoption thing too, just the same and with petty certain results down the adoption route, just a little time on paperwork/red tape .

You will make a fantastic mummy , esp after your jouney to get there - let us know how your getting no with it , id love to hear when you have your children with you XX

 

[ScotchEgg]

God luck on your new journey jenny.

I got my period last night and called in to book in this morning. Injections start tomorrow. Can't believe we're here again and can't imagine a positive outcome, but we'll take each milestone as it comes. First scan saturday...

 

[skeando]

Had scan today, 4 follicles 2 at 13mm and 1at 10mm and 1 at 9mm. They asked me to go for another scan on wed to see if big ones had passed 15mm. They then called me later and have asked me to go back in tmrw for scan with a view to doin iui on thurs.

So glad not cancelled but too scared to get excited

 

[Jennymarie]

Thanks all for your replies xx

Good luck scotch, been following your blog and I can relate to so much of it. Really hope this trial works out for you both.

Good luck everyone else too! xx

Hi girls, been a while since I've written to you all. I'm trying to take a relaxed approach but I can feel myself getting more and more anxious about it. I'm 10dpiui and I'm staring to get a lil bit crampy on and off where i would say my ovaries are but not af type, and tonight I'm very gassy (burping, not the other) to the point where I feel I'm going to be sick. If this cycle is not sucessful I'm thinking of giving up for a while. Its so hard on your emotions, two girls are pregnant in work, one is 21 weeks and one is 12 weeks so the past few days whilst I'm stuck in my 2ww they have both had scans and been showing them to us all in work. I feel like giving my job up to run away from it but I know wherever i end up someone else will be pregnant too. Urghhhhh. Sorry for the mini rant xxx

Hi tillie, at around 10dpiui I got ovary cramping and it sounds silly but I knew it had worked then, as the hcg starting to appear in your system can cause this. So maybe take a test in a couple of days? Fx it's a good sign for you too xx

 

[Jacq23]

Good luck Tillie!

Hi ab11 and welcome! Please bring us some BFPs!

xx

 

[skeando]

Today I have all of a sudden started to burn up and feel a cold is also on its way, this is going to be a lovely week...not!! Xxx
