On the road to IVF


After seeing my consultant today, i feel.......a little worried, a little apprehensive, yet a little like I'm on the road to another challenge.
When my Dh when for his vasectomy reversal, we didn't get warned about antibodies killing off his sperm. Our consultant thinks this may be the problem, although not 100% sure, Tests are been done!
Also due to my long cycles rearing their head after so long ( guessing the clomid is totally out of my system) he has decided i need another ovary scan. So that is all but booked in just waiting for the date. Until then i have been put on Metformin. A drug generally used for type 2 diabetics, although recent studies have seen it help women with fertility problems.

 We are on the road to either IUI or IVF, It seems that after 3 years with no luck that is the only option.
There are a lot of pros and cons to look at when dealing with the treatment. The main factor is the cost! How expensive!!! Luckily i have opted for the egg share which is a fraction of the price and not only that but i may be able to help someone out there that is experiencing what i am.

 Many clinics deal with the initial procedure and the add costs on top for your tests and drugs etc so its defiantly worth checking out different places. We came across one that has a full package ( getting all my notes from my consultant) drugs, tests and the procedure for one cost.

 So we are on the saving spree now to save. Luckily the job my DH does comes with bonuses so half the fee is covered once we get to dec, ready for a jan appointment.

 Would love to know other peoples opinions of ivf, iui etc.

Poetic Thursday- Daddies day coming up to the remebrance of 9/11

I contemplated on whether to save this for sunday or publish it today for my poetic thursday, i figured today was the right one. Im not entirly sure on who wrote this, but it touched my heart and i have to say left me in tears. Coming up to Sunday which is 9/11 take a second to remeber the lives lost. Daddies day Her hair was up in a pony tail, her favorite dress tied with a bow. Today was 'Daddy's Day' at school, and she couldn't wait to go. But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should stay home. Why the kids might not understand, if she went to school alone. But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say. What to tell her classmates of why he wasn't there today. But still her mother worried, for her to face this day alone. And that was why once again, she tried to keep her daughter home. But the little girl went to school, eager to tell them all. About a dad she never sees, a dad who never calls. There were daddies along the wall in back, for every

ITS ALL ABOUT THE IVF

The road of IVF So 2017 brought us our first round of ivf. It's a surreal experience to say the least.   Such a roller coaster of emotions, one minute your up and then next your sat there crying at an advert because the girl on it made cupcakes to say sorry! It's a process that challenge your fears, opens your eyes and makes you see things in a whole different perspective. We started with our initial meeting where we spent an hour signing all our paperwork. This was basically to give permission on what would happen with our eggs that didn't quite become good enough, permission to freeze some if any were viable. To even transfer and etc, it all had to be signed for. Also to use the embryos should my husband die. This includes counselling. So with that we had bloods and a scan done too, then it was just a case of waiting for 1st day of cycle to begin. Drugs were delivered.  My big white box of little miracles. Cycle day one came....another

Im a blogger get me out of here! memeTagathon

So I'm joining in with the lovely Kates Meme Tagathon . Its a little game where we answer questions we have been given, i will then tag other in it...watch for your tag! It is very simple to do and the rules are as follows 1) Answer the 10 questions and consider the mission. 2) Tag a blogger or two or more to do the same 3) Come back to my original blog post and tell me you have done the questions and answers . I have tried to make the questions Ok for those who watch the television programme and those that don’t. 1. What one thing about being a parent makes you scream “Get me out of here!” For me it would have to be arguing. My two argue like cat and dog and when your trying to sort it out and they scream on top of each other you can guarantee that's what your going to shout! 2. What skills, if any, do you have that would be useful in the jungle? I would be the ditzy blonde i think (although brunette atm ) I am often told i come out with the most funny statements
