It is awful that us women that so desperatly want a child, or a sibling cannot have one that easily or without great cost and still no guraantees. It makes my blood boil here in England we have women that can pop out babies like smarties and sometimes its just for benefit money, they get more money from the state the more children they have.
Anyway we hopefully start meds again 22nd  sept and egg retreival will be probaby 8-10th oct, have full consultation tomorrow so will know more then, best wishes to you, keep updating your progress, lots love melissax

Hi all
hope your all well!! Am starting meds on the 23 sept for a frozen embryo transfer so I will be getting that transferred in around oct 15 . I haven't a clue of what to expect I had a failed ivf in July and I miscarried after ivf 8 weeks pregnant in April !!! The embie was left from the July cycle and am praying it's the one!! I was reading that frozen embros are only 20%.success rate that's if the survive the thawing process!!! We  had to have ICis to get fertilization !! Am with you on the expenses cause it's soo expensive and there's no help!!! I have to say I would sell the house if it comes to it!!! Has anyone any information on frozen eggs??

MEL;
We have the same problems here in the US, unfortunately. Even worse is the people that abuse and do not take of their children or worse and I would sell every last thing I own to keep trying. Mind you, my husband would not sell it all  This is it for us. It was much debate to finally try one more thing, and this program :)
I am as healthy as they come, I work out 5 days a week, I eat healthy, 5 days a week I cook and people say I look 10 years under what I actually am. Unfortunately my insides are like 50 year old, not at all 36, my actual age. Anyway, we keep moving on and hope we will bring home a girl or boy someday. I  think I will be like a week earlier than you. I have my 1st check up on monday.
I pray for no cysts. I forgot how I get headaches on the Lupron, oh well.

Marcey: ICI is very common here. They never did it for me until my last IVF and the one I tried with my sister, you should not be concerned, it just helps the little guys along. You cannot look at the odds, if we did then we would go crazy. Breath and stay positive that is the BEST thing you can do.  The ladies on this site has had much success with frozen. Is all a gamble.

Good Luck Ladies!

Hi again.  Looks like we will be doing the IVF together at Shady Grove.  I just started my 2 weeks of BCP and waiting to hear back from my insurance for the approval.  After that I will start my injections/stims and if all goes well then my retreival should be at the beginning of October.  Right now they are talking about doing a 3 day transfer and only transfering 1.  Kind of wish they would transfer 2 just to give me better odds but I don't think I really have a say in it.  They are going to be doing the ICSI and assisted hatching also, since DH's count was a low with my last IUI.  You are in the rockville office right?  I'm at annapolis, but I'm not sure if they do all of it there or if I have to go to rockville for parts of it.  I have my Mock Embryo Transfer set up for this monday.  Starting to get a little nervous, thinking that this may actually work for us.

I did the mock transfer, it was easy, but I am old-school now. LOL. They are very nice there.  Yes, I went to Rockville. I am not sure if they do everything in Rockville.
I will be like a week before you, I HOPE.
I hope you get approved for insurance, somebody should.
Well if they only want to use one, maybe that is good sign.
They told me they only recommend usually one for me too, but I think if I wanted to two they would do it, because of the donor thing. It also depend on the quality of the eggs too and how far they develop. We will see.
It HAS to work, eventually it will, I just hope it does on the 1st try!
