Hi girls,

Just giving an update. I made an appointment to start our IVF process. It is with yet another clinic (my third!). Smaller than the other two but closer to home and she comes very highly regarded from people who work in that field. She only does the long suppression or down reg IVF cycle, where my other clinic wanted to do a short cycle. I figure if I'm going to go through all that we need to do whatever possible to get as many eggs as we can and I'm told this is the point of the long cycle.

So I'm currently working on getting us as healthy as possible (not that we weren't before) without obsessing because lets face it, its Christmas! I'm still doing my mindfulness meditation and hope that will help a bit with the anxiety I feel towards the IVF process. We also have a nice little beach holiday planned from the 4th of Jan.

All in all I'm feeling pretty positive and hope this eventuates into a positive result

Rae- that's great news and sounds like you're on the right track I wish you all the luck in the world and FXed next year will be an amazing year

Sending you stacks and stacks of baby dust - wishing you all the best for your IVF journey in 2012 xoxoxo enjoy your beach holiday

Good luck, sending heaps of baby dust your way!

Good Luck Rae!!! I'll be following you every step of the way.

Fantastic Rae, now you can get the process started! Best of luck with the FS and enjoy your time away!

All the best Rae - so glad you found a better Dr x

HERE WE GO!!!.....

I start sniffing my Synarel tomorrow in the lead up to ICSI.

We had a bit of a break through, my new Dr found that I was positive to sperm antibodies (my immune system is attacking DH's sperm tails inhibiting their swimming and fertilization) . Now, I'm a little peeved that IVFAust and SydIVF didn't pick this up $6000 ago!!! She found this out via a simple blood test! Anyway... this is what has caused us to focus more on ICSI (we will still do a couple of IVF depending on how many eggs they retrieve). We were also both VitD deficient which can cause birth defects and disease in the baby so they have us on a multitude of vitamins to rectify that.

So all in all feeling pretty good that we are on the right track finally. Yay! Hope I feel like this in a few weeks

Rae,

all the very best for you IVF journey.... Syneral sucks basically, or it did for me..lol.. but well worth it in the end.

Here's hoping to a very short journey and a lot of little eggies at the end..

All the luck in the world to you Rae!!

Hope the synarel isn't too bad for you...
