Lazy day but popped out this evening to see my friend Alison and my god children.

My belly is rather bruised after all the injections..

This weeks plan of Action:

CD11 - T- 28th Oct - ?

At some point this week I'll have my Egg collection... just not certain when the transfer will be - will know better tomorrow...

IVF4 : CD7....2nd Scan

IVF1 - CD12- Left ovary, none. Right ovary 3 follies around 11-12mm

IVF2 - CD7 - Left ovary, 2 follicles started. Right ovary 7 follicles started.

IVF3 - CD9 - Left ovary, 4 follicles started, Right ovary 3 follicles started.

IVF4 - CD7 - Left ovary 4 started (only small) plus 1x12mm Right ovary 4 small.. I don't feel very positive

Medication changed, puregon increased to 350iu and to carry on with 150iu menopur...also have to start Orgalutran (which I will have to do when I get home tonight, my other drugs are in my bag as going for something to eat with a friend after work)

Donor Eggs

I spoke to the nurse about going on the waiting list for donor eggs - she thought I was already on it but has made certain that I am - If I were to do donor eggs she also suggested donor embryos - which of course is an option at I'm doing donor sperm.....

The good news is that no quick decisions to be made - They are willing to treat with donor eggs up to 50 and after that have to speak to the ethic committee - Well my deadline would be 45 any way..

Oh and of course - Well if IVF4 works I don't even have to think about this!

So.. 2 injections starting tonight....

IVF4: Decision Made

Well.. looks like I'm set for another cycle.

Straight to clinic tomorrow though they won't like me just turning up - I did ring today but no answer and though I left a message no-one rang me back...

Have emailed Boots regarding the prescription. - Hopefully they'd get it out prompt tomorrow. I already have Puregon for tomorrow night and some Menopur - just realised that the Menopur is missing from the prescription.

Not going to tell anyone what I'm doing and being picked up from clinic next week might be difficult as colleague who helped last time will be away. Will resort back to previous helper if he's not on hols as well (Half term) lol. If not... humm.. there will be someone else that can help just not certain who just yet...

So here we go - but if like last time should be pretty quick.

This will be my last attempt with my own eggs - If there were to be another time it would have to be donor eggs which I don't want - saying that I'm going to ask for the donor egg forms, fill them in and return then it keeps my options open...

IVF4: How It would work if I did...

Will I or won't I? Decision tim 15-20% chance with my own eggs....
