Hi ladies
Went for my 1st consultation yesterday and I can't begin to explain how much better I feel.
We were having loads of probs at St James's mainly to do with the admin/waiting times and the way in which we were treated but thats a long story which I won't go into.
Everything went really well, Mr Salih was very nice and explained everything fully and clearly, the receptionist we dealt with was very efficient but I know you all know this, but for me and DH this has been the best decision we've made and wish we had decided to go private from the very beginning, so can't help talking about it. Already we feel a certain amount of weight has been lifted off our shoulders we know IVF is going to be very stressful and having a good clinic who understands will help alleviate some of the stress.
We have now got an appointment to see the nurse on 8/8/05
and hopefully will start d/reg towards the end of Aug. I'm so excited and a little nervous at the same time. I can't believe we will have completed a cycle way beyond the 3-6months waiting for a nurse consultation at St James's.
I do hope everyone is well, and that you are coping with whatever stage your at in your treatments. Its lovely to hear of happy outcomes it fills me with hope for myself. Sending
to us all.
Love sunflower. x

Off load as much as you want to us and I'm sure we'll all try to help. sending you a ((((BIG HUG)))))
Bailypippin - Glad to hear that your mum is doing OK, will it be a long recovery from the op she's had? I went and had a massage with Linda yesterday and it was fantastic!!!!! get yourself booked in for some pampering! Have you got a bump yet?
Sunflower - Welcome to the Sheff girls! do you live in Sheff? they really are lovely there, one of my favourites is Caroline she even came to have a look at my scan the other day even though Sue was doing it! they take a real interest in you as a person rather than just a patient! Best of luck with your treatment

Hi again, thanks for the welcome.
Melanie - I get my period around 6/8/05 then I'm seeing the nurse on 8/8/05, Mr salih told us I will start d/reg 21 days after so should hopefully be around the end of August this all depends on wether they can get all my tests through from St James's in time, if not we'll be looking at the month after. How are you? what are the injections like, have you had any side effects?.
Rach - I live near Wakefield, West Yorkshire, it took us ages to get to the clinic 1hr 10mins. We didn't have a run out before hand so we were unsure on where we were going. We Got lost and just managed to make it on time by 3 minutes. These message boards are really good for support and especially from girls going to or been to the same clinic.

Hi girls
Thank you soo much for listening. It's a life saver to be able to off load to people who understand. I am feeling much better today and started to think about other things in my life instead of worrying and upsetting myself about things I cannot change. I'm sure my complete inability to cope has been due to hormones and being very tired. I've started taking Angus Castus again (cant take during tx) which really helps get me back on track
Sunflower, welcome, I'm so glad you have chosen to go to CARE at Sheffield. You'lll get nothing but support. They are so positive and have so much technology at their disposal. Mr Salih has a really good way of putting things does nt he? Good luck with your next tx
I hope you lovely ladies are all looking after yourselves. Julia, how are you hun? Did I get your test date wrong 
Hope you are OK.
Thanks again.
Love and luck

Hi Girls
nothing much to report just feeling a bit wangy tonight! thought I'd better just check in and say hello,
Baliypippin I really liked Rachel too she wasn't there for my 1st cycle but seen quite a bit of her for this one! I've never had anything to do with paula but have heard she's nice The only one I'm not keen on is Roz as I had her for my first et and it was not a positive expereience!!!! think you really need to talk to midwife about the bleach it might not be a good idea!
Ginny - keep drinking the water hon its all you can do! I took vit c and Fish oils as well vit c for general health and fish oils for concentration!!! could really do with some of that now!!!!! your not allowed to take anything after et so I wouldn't bother getting any!
Hi to everyone else

hello everyone,
wanted to ask if i could join you. currently doing 2nd round of icsi at care. down reging at the mo with a banging headache!
sounds like a lot of you guys live near me (im from doncaster), and sound like a nice bunch, who are having similar experiences to me. we found the staff at care to be fab and very supportive. i achieved pregnancy last time, but miscarried very early due to a blighted ovum.hopefully things will turn out better this time.
i may have to transfer to care at notts for my egg collection cos of sheff having limited facilities during aug. (think dr salih is on his hols, so no e/c) . this will be a bit of a bummer but i dont want to wait any longer than the 2 yrs its already took for our 2nd funded attempt. sure you gals will understand this.
anyhow hope you let me on board!

melanie; i am expecting to transfer to notts for ec/et.up to then sheff remains open on minimal staff for bloods and scans.i couldn"t care less who does it as long as its a success, although the familiar faces of the sheff staff would be nice.my fave nurse is debbie, then sue. debbie held my hand when i screamed the place down last time during egg collection- bloody agony though i highly reccommend the phentonal ?(morphine derivative) if your offered it!!

melanie; i am expecting to transfer to notts for ec/et.up to then sheff remains open on minimal staff for bloods and scans.i couldn"t care less who does it as long as its a success, although the familiar faces of the sheff staff would be nice.my fave nurse is debbie, then sue. debbie held my hand when i screamed the place down last time during egg collection- bloody agony though i highly reccommend the phentonal ?(morphine derivative) if your offered it!!

Hi Girls
Bailypippin - How are you doing hon? I'm so tired having to go to bed every afternoon!!!! you sound like a bit of a fitness fanatic! If I'm honest I'm a bit of a lazy slob although I do really miss my salsasize class, I'm thinking of taking yoga back up as it supposed to be good for pregnancy. I've been discharged from Care and got a date for my first midwife appt but need to change it as I'm on a course that I've been trying to get on for nearly a year!
Clare - welcome to the Sheff girls! I'm a Donny girl too and even more spookily I'm also an LD Nurse!!!!! where do you work? I'm currently eight weeks preggy following my 2nd icsi, so sorry to hear about your loss last time, hope things work out better for you this time
Ginny how are you coping with the stimming hope your drinking lots! if your suffering with side effects try green tea its very de-toxifying and fine to drink throughout pregnancy! "Wangy" means a bit washed out and knackered!!!!!
Kaz - Nice to hear from you hon how are you feeling?
Love Rach

Hi girls, I'm trying to do a sneaky post at work so apologies for any typos.
Mel, please dont be down about things. I bet hardly any ivf patients, including thoses with BFP are text book cases. The fact that they have upped your Menopur just means you need more, that's all hun, and that is nt a problem.
I know I'm not a success story but I had 4 bottles of Menopur daily on our 1st go for over 3 weeks plus small amounts of the trigger injection. My ovaries are damaged but I got 4 lovely mature eggs at ec which all fertilised. Please dont panic, it's all in hand sweetie and I'm so confident you will get those lovely eggs soon. Do you know how many follies you've got?
I'll do personal later girls as it's a bit diff atm, I've shrunk my 'windon' so small I cant read the other posts. We have our following up on the 8th Aug with Phillip Lowe, I believe he's from Manchester. If he is going to treat us then I'm wondering if I should just go to the CARE hosp in Manchester? Not sure about that one yet.
Kaz, I was thinking the same as you about will they do things diff next time. Mr Salih seemed to think that if it went well then not to change things until you have had 3 negs. But with him not being there it'll be interesting to see if Philip Lowe will be the same. I know some other clinics like you to get more eggs so they give you more stimms. We will have to see, eh.
I've been getting hot flushes, but I'm feeling a lot better now. Got a bit drunk on Sat and played pool with some friend whilst out in Blackpool. Still tearful about my dog, he'll be going to the vets on Wed so no doubt I'll be booing then.
Sorry will do personals, love to you all.

Hi Girls
I nearly fell asleep at my desk today!!!!!!! can't believe its possible to be this tired! I've got my first midwive appt next Tues at 3pm how exciting is that!!!!!
Bailypippin - I know of a Yoga class that will be starting in the next couple of weeks at Life Skills on Duke street in Donny (behind Karisma Nighclub!) I've just rung the bloke that will be running it to ask about the pregnancy issues and have left a message for him to get back to me! Think its probably going to be a Monday night at 6ish - Just spoken to yoga bloke and basically can't do it first trimester and shouldn't be doing an ordinary class if you've never done it before! he's hoping to do some specific pregnancy stuff later in the year so I've given him my email! looks like I'll have to stick to swimming!
I think its quite exciting that your trousers don't fit! its a very good sign! whats day is your Nuchal Scan? how is your mum getting on? I'm up for meeting for a girlie coffee and chat if everyone else is!
Kaz and Becca - Best of luck with the reviews Philip Lowe has a very good reputation so I'm sure he'll be able to guide you to what happens next! Kaz I just upped my drugs on second go!
Ginny - stop stressing girlie its very common to have to up your drugs it happended to me first time and i ended up with lovely eggies that all fertilised! Get drinking green tea to help with the side effects!
Love Rach
