IVF advice.

Right am home, everything went well. Made the nurse and hubby laugh as she asked me if i needed anything. I was still out of it and replied all i want is to go to the gym!! Hubby impressed with my focus! Feel quite good at the mo. Overheard nurse say surgeon saying my levels were at 16 so he thought i was in a lot of pain so gave me 4 morphine, turned out after procedure levels were at 16 so opps didnt seem like I needed it! Not complaining as I think its helping now. Looking forward to plannning to try again.

Hope everyone else has had good hcg blood results!

Haha kiwi that's funny! Glad it went ok, hope the recovery goes well for you. How soon will you be able to try again? Sorry you are having to go through all this.

As for me... feeling SICK! Constantly. Which is awful. But of course its a good thing. I was having a freak out earlier in the week because all my symptoms had disappeared... turns out they were just gearing up to hit me harder, which is very relieving! 8 week scan next friday...

Thanks Kiwi, Haha yeah who'd have thought feeling sick would be a kind of relief!

Hope you're feeling ok today and can have a nice relaxing day. That must be weird re hubby being away - I fully get that you still feel like he should BE there. Imagine telling your kid in 15 years time 'oh no, dad wasn't around' - hoho.   

awesome news Dolly! Very reassuring to know you got two in the bank!! It certainly has helped me knowing that. Am back at work today, and have started back at gym and being good on my diet. Not that I'm a nut about those things but for last couple months I let things slide as it wasn't my focus. Just need to feel in control again so good to put on some goals. Clinic tang this morning to see how we want to move forward but typical I was on the phone! Playing phone tag now. Does anyone know after d and c they will let us try again? As always all the best. merrily good luck for Friday!

Yay Kiwi!

Kiwi thats great you dont have to wait!

appt done, saw Dr sarah Wakeman, Our Dr greg philipson has left to work in Aussie. She was nice and matter of fact, which works for us. We like it striaght no sugar coating and no hand holding. Basically she is happy for us to straight after first AF. Given us script for estrogen so when we feel ready after an AF we just ring and then get started.

She did ask us to thik about whether we put in one or two embroyos. She stated its up to her but she had to state one is safer than twins especially as I am a little older but its our call.

She said chances of concieving arent less with two but pregnecy risks are higher.

So we are now having a wee debate.. Previously we did two as we couldnt see us trying again after the first was born due to our ages. Now not so sure, has anyone else had any thoughts on whether they went ahead with one or two. We only have two in the chiller!!

Great to hear your appt went well Kiwi.

Personally I would stick with one but probably because I one I put it split into two anyway!! I can see where you're coming from. I guess you have to consider whether you want to literally hedge all your bets on one more transfer by putting two in now or put one in and if it works yay if not you've still got one more shot.

All the best with that debate!

Hi ladies,

I’m just wondering how long everyone has had to wait for treatment once placed on the waiting list for public funding. We have been told the list is now 24 months in Hamilton and that we get to start IVF in June 2017. I’m just curious as to how long you have been told it would be, compared to how long it was before you actually started.

Thanks 

Really? I am super glad that I went through public when I did even if it didn't flipping work - that's a ridiculously long time to wait especially if you've already waited 5yrs due to unexplained infertility. You poor girls I feel terrible for you.

And thinking about it even back when I got into the public thing a couple years back I was told 6mths to start IUI using a donor and it was bang on 6mths. They seem to be pretty accurate...dang it.
