Hi there, im soon to embark on my first and last attempt at IVF and wondered if there is anyone out there about to do the same at the princess anne, would be great to speak to others going through the same thing x x
good luck with your cycle. It can be quite daunting going in but you'll soon get in the swing of things.
If you don't find anyone from PA here who is cycling with you, have you tried the cycle buddies boards? THeres a thread for every timing of cycles so you'll find some great support on there.
Complete fertility is in the princess anne in southampton.
They have always had a fert clinic but they have never been able to offer IVF until now.
Weve been at the clinic for about 2 years and the staff are wonderful so were gonna give it a go.
Unfortunately can only try once as we dont get any funding x
I have just got back from my post iui consultation at Princess Anne and we too have decided to go for IVF Once. nervous now!!!! How are you getting on?
xx
Hi Lou la hope all went really well with yr consultation today.
I spent a while calling the clinic today to try get info about when we need to be seen for ivf as we are looking at the egg share programme, as it's all new no one knew much but we are booked in for next consult in fen. In the meantime it's a hycosy for me to see if they need to remove my polyp.......funny how we are similar! Do let me know what they say to u I am all a bit scheemish about the polyp thing!
hi there smiley bunney,
Appoint went well, very excited but also very scared!cant believe this is prob our last go!
Dr Brooks phoned re our polyp and appoint should be 10th Feb.
I know how you feel , im feeling bit odd bout it too,i will let you know, do you have a date yet?
Were hoping to do IVF in march all being well and finances allow, so fingers crossed for us all.
Good luck to you smiley b keep me posted with your journey xxx
Oh thanks Hun.
I have appt for hy clay next week they are going to decide them. I hate hy cosy!
We are booked in about the egg share in feb so hopefully they will have sorted everything for us to start soon as we get back from hols in may.............finger crossed!
This whole thing is a minefield! R u doing egg share?
Good luck for next week smiley bunny, i hope it goes ok and isnt too uncomfortable.
Were not doing egg share at the mo, what does it involve?
Booked in to have my amh blood test on mon to see waht that is and booked appoint for the healthy eating clinic too, just to keep me busy really
Just wanted to say hi - we are hopefully having treatment at PA, we have been told that we need IVF but need to wait til we qualify for a free cycle our next appointment is in Apr to send our details for our free cycle.
We 2 are under Dr Brooks who seems lovely.....fingers crossed for you - have no idea if/when we will start our cycle but its nice to be able to come and chat to peeps who are at PA
Hi there, welcome!
I havent been on here for ages, think we will now be having our treatment in April or may too.Keep in touch , would be great to hear how you are getting on!
good luck! xxxx
Is anyone with the Complete Fertility Centre in Southampton?
We are about to start our last cycle of ICSI.
They haven't got any published results yet as have only been practicing since December but from reading about them on their website they look good! Their consultants have a good range of experience, their facilities look excellent and their package seems very good and includes a few things that other clinics don't without extra charges.
We are waiting for an appointment! I have put up a post like you to see if anyone can give some feedback! In the mean time when we do see them I shall let you know how we get on!
I'm about to start ICSI at Complete. I'm seeing Mr Brook on Monday for the set up appointment to cycle in April hopefully. Have just got my AMH results back though which weren't too good (5.5)
So how is it going with you? What stage are you at?
I hope everything is OK (and more people own up to being at Complete!)
HI All - just trying to bump all of the Complete Fertility threads so hopefully we can get 1 thread going for Support! Am cycling in April with Mr Brook. Will be my 3rd Cycle - my first 2 were in Norway - the first of which we have a gorgeous 3 year old daughter from. I did say never again but seem to be drawn to Complete!
Lou la bell - are you still cycling in April? Do you have a set up appointment?
bennett - not long now until your next appointment...?
smileybunny - how are things with you?
I hope you are all well,
Em

We're seeing Mr Brook at 2 today. I'm very nervous. I shouldn't be as I've done it twice before (in Norway) but the single magpie on the green outside is not really helping!! I'm just worried they will say no due to my AMH (5.15) and my weight (bmi 34.7). Oh that and they'll ask me about my weight and I'll start crying and then they'll think I'm unstable and not suitable to have IVF!
Me neurotic...? Nah!
But all going well (!) we'll be starting short/antagonist protocol (i.e no down - regulation phase) as soon as AF turns up around 9th April.
What protocol are you doing? If you're on short protocol what did they say about Easter as it'll be at just the time we are due for EC...?
Good luck for today, am sure you will be fine.
Those damn magpies i bloody hate it when i only see one of those, i was never like this before treatment, Mental
Sound like we will be going for it at the same time hun.
Were doing the short cycle too .Spoke about egg collection if we get that far and he said theywould open on any day that was needed!
Have you got all your drugs etc yet?
just put my order through, bank balance alot smaller now !
Anyway keep me posted, good luck x
We havent really had to wait as were already seing them privately before they turned in complete fertility.
another friend of mine has just started with them though and didnt have to wait long at all, they seem to be very relable.
the nurses there are lovely to , really reasuring and understanding, ive phoned them sooooooo many times in the past about little things, so nice to know there is someone on the end of a phone for reasurrence
well Monday went really well. Mr Brook was happy to prescribe me prednisolone and clexane which was a nice suprise - I had prednisolone first time in Norway and both second time in Norway. Then he put me on Menopur 300 and cetrotide. Drugs arrive on Monday. very exciting!
As you said Lou La Bell, the the nurses are absolutley lovely! And in fact everyone there is lovley. They are all so relaxed and can't do enough for you. They didn't even mind me taking the list of drugs away and seeing if I could get it any cheaper (I could only save about £20 on the £700ish they quoted me and even then I think that was a mistake in my calculations). They confirmed that they don't have a mark-up on the drugs.
Lou la bell - how many days worth of stimming drugs did they give you? I think I only have 8...
Cupcake - we only had a few weeks wait and it would have been sooner if my father in law hadn't died a few weeks ago (we had to go and sort everything out for my mother in law in North Wales so had to cancel our initial appointment).
Just out of interest I thought Mr Brook also recommended the following stuff too:
accupunture
omega 3
vit c
b complex
gen mum to be vits
high protein diet.
oh and folic acid obviously.
And I can't recommend the clinic highly enough at the moment. They have turned me around from 'I'm never having IVF again' after my last IVF in Norway!
Anyway, I'm just ranting and raving now!
