Congratulations mattysmrs and KLH. Great to see more BFP's on here. I'm nearly 11 weeks now with a scan booked for 11 days time. Best of luck to everyone else, unfortunately it's normal to feel nervous.

I've always taken the same dose of progesterone linbruzaite. Don't you think the dose they've given you will be enough? I think it's usually a standard dose of 200mg X 3. Try not to worry (which I know is easier said than done).

Thanks ladies and congratulations mattysmrs! 

Because they suppress your ovaries during a donor cycle your body won't make a lot of progesterone. The progesterone suppositories are a higher dose than most people are on. Your blood levels won't show a high number but they tell me the uterus is getting all it needs. I take an additional small dose of progesterone in oil via injection every three days since my blood levels have been low but I really don't think it's needed. Try to just be stress free...easier said than done. Good luck!!

Hello again! I have another question for all of you VERY knowledgeable ladies. I'm in the US and wondering if anybody was able to get their meds from a US pharmacy using a Czech Rx. Or will I need to order them from the online pharmacy? TIA for any help/info! Our tentative trip to Prague is set for September 17th!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!

[linbruzaite]

I don't know about US but I bought all meds in Prague as it is very cheap. I'll say 10 times cheaper than in UK. So I stock up there while in Prague.

I have a question to UK ladies. How do you ask your GP to organise first pregnancy scan 10 weeks , because in U.K. the first scan is at 12 weeks. Prague wants first scan at 10 weeks. How you convince your GP or you go private?

[mattysmrs]

We went private as my GP has been useless during my cycle. Xx

Such good news mattysmrs and klh80205!! I'm so happy for you! How are you two doing?
JRP2013: I think klh80205 can help you with that question as she is from the US.

[mattysmrs]

Thanks ladies. At 16wks and 4 days we had a gender scan and we're having a little girl. I let my coordinator know and she's made up. Still getting lots of support from PFC.

[mattysmrs]

Yes JRP very supportive and communication has always been great. I've found them very prompt on emailing me back even now I'm not cycling with them. Sept will be here very soon for you.
