That’s great news ocdm19! You must be super excited. Is this your first round, or have you cycled before?
It would be great to have some cycle buddies. It’s a super lonely process, magnified ten fold when you’re going it alone so it’s great to be able to chat to others also going through the same experience.
I’ll be 2/3 weeks behind you. My AF should arrive on 10/03 so hopefully I’ll be having my baseline in about 3 weeks. It’s really dragging getting to the baseline scan.
One of my biggest fears is that I won’t get any eggs as maybe I’m not ovulating anymore so was super happy when I got high fertility on my Ovulation test this morning! 😅
How do you find the Lister?

Hi, @BroodySingle. thanks for reply. I am trying to keep up hope but also manage hope. as this is my 4th 
I 've made several changes for this one so hopefully there ll be some difference. You are still young so time s on your side. I'm 39.5 ~~ more stressful. Congratulations on the Ovulation test. Is this your first try with Lister? I found them okay. In terms of the system it is a very well oiled machine and the system works very smooth (nurses, scan, dr.). I have no complaint, but also no extraordinary story to tell. I chose them through my research on the forums, among the top rated clinic e.g. GHRC, CREATE and Lister I chose to give it a go. Sorry it's so neutral

Hi, @Chriskirsty I have just been there on Saturday for blood test. Asked the same questions. They seem to be running as usual. However the nurse did say that they less encourage start new cycles due to that the hospital and staff all need to be standing by, in case of a call from NHS they ll have to stop the IVF service (as the hopital and staff would be used for treating the covid-19), other than that the hospital will be running. I think the best way is maybe you call the nurse to discuss your specific treatment plan, whether it's going ahead or not - then you'll know it for sure good luck. I noticed that there are much less patient around/waiting room quite empty. And that the chairs in the waiting room have been pulled apart to over 1meter in distance, so obviously some measures have been taken.

Hi, I'm not currently going through treatment there, have two babies from Lister cycles though and follow them on Instagram. They put up a post to say that there was a new update on the website.

Good luck with the FET.

My partner has decided that she would like to try and carry. She was back and forth about it for a while but I said that it's not something that you want to ever regret. So yes, maybe in another year or so we'll start, probably aim for similar timings/gaps again. Fingers crossed all will go smoothly. We have 1 of my embryos and 4 of hers frozen so hoping we can just do FETs.

Hi Ladies!! Can anyone give me some advice regarding waiting times to cycle at the Lister please? If there normally is a waiting time that is?

Thanks very much for responding. Good to know there doesn't appear to be a waiting time! We've already bought donor sperm from a bank the Lister accept so that should be straightforward. I tried to phone them today but it looks like reception is closed until Monday.

Hi Ladies
Well we've taken the plunge and we've booked a consultation with James Nicopolous (?) on the 7th! We've got AMH tests booked tomorrow (locally) and if the consultation goes well we'll travel to London in the next fortnight or so for some further tests. I'm quite nervous but excited ish. I feel like we've never seen the back of a fertility clinic (NHS) for the last two years and we've lived in hope but fingers crossed this is a more promising path.
I've had 6 iui (all bfn - age 32-33)
1 x IVF (2019) 4BA transferred and other 4 blasts did not meet NHS freezing criteria. Lost womb lining 7dp5dt
1x IVF (2020) 3BB transferred and 2 x day 5 frozen. Lost womb lining 7dp5dt.
1x FET with extra progesterone and clexane (private prescription) Chemical pregnancy.
I have also had a karyotype test and the results were normal.
We're thinking of using/freezing my partners embryos and possibly opting for the three cycle embryo freezing package. I guess we'll see what the recommendations are..

A bit of a long shot considering how quiet this thread is but thought it was worth a try!
We've already had success at the Lister and now have a 3yr old and 1yr old from cycles with them. One cycle was using my partner's egg and one was using my egg, I carried both times.
My partner would like to carry now, was thinking this summer but looking more likely that it'll be next year now so plenty of time to get things sorted. Just a bit concerned as she has very heavy and painful periods. We wonder whether it could be endo but she's never had any tests or anything. I wondered whether anyone has gone to the Lister and told them this and what their suggestions were? Not sure if they'll want her to do any tests before the FET and whether they're likely to advise going through the GP, which will obviously take longer.
Thanks in advance!
