IVF here i come!... am off to Nurture :)
hi ladies....
well after months and months of ttc, preg tests, evaps and tears i am finally off to Nurture fertility clinic! via NHS. Saw the fertility consultant and he says that IVF is really the only road for us as my hubby has anti body sperm! which means they attack each other and they die!!! weird hey!..there are no meds for this, also i have pid history...
so we are told we wait about 6 weeks for our appt with nurture then off we go!!!..i am so excited...but very nervous about it all..can anyone help with these questions??
how many emreyos are they allowed to put back in?
do the injections hurt?
whats the chance of twins?
does egg transfer hurt?
how often do u visit the clinc on a weekly basis?
side effects of meds?
yes so many q's lol, i know my clinic can tell me but as u all no how impatient we are
xx ....i fear that this is my only chance on nhs as we only get one go, and then we have to pay, if we can afford we will but will be tight 
thanks all for reading look forward to chatting to you all on our IVF journey!! xx

Is that Nuture in nottingham? Thats my clinic they are very good. I believe now its 1 embryo transfer on nhs but 2 if funded, i could be wrong... ET doesn't usually hurt, the injections are fine once you get used to them, when you start stims expect scans a couple of times a week they start scanning at 7:30am. Side effects for me are mainly moods and bloating but eveyones different!!!!
I have had 2 cycles with nurture fresh cycle in 2008 BFP now have a 18 month old gorgeous little boy. I am now on my 2ww from my FET 2 emmies transfered both times.
Wishing you lots of look xxxxx
every cycle is different.
We are private and our pct have a rule that if its your 1st cycle and you are under 37 they will only put 1 embryo back, so the only way of knowing what your clinic do is by asking. The amount of scans varies as well. We had 5 scans during the stimms stage, it all depends on how you are responding to the drugs. Was asleep for the egg retrieval and the embryo transfer was painless.
As for the chance of twins again this will depend on how many they put back. The reason our pct only put 1 back is to limit the chance of twins.
good luck. drink plenty of water and cut out caffeine to avoid headaches if you get given buserelin. x
yes it is nurture in nottingham im going too
i cant wait to get started i just hope it leads to a BFP!!!...having the tablets and injections does that make ur hormones go crazYYY lol...like PMT x 100 haha,
tbh we wouldnt mind twins really i have read good and bad things about having them, but this will probably be our only baby so twins doesnt seem that bad
wingnut am defo gonna get some of that cream! for sure haha, angelheart hope all is going well for you hun x been keeping uptodate with ur threads
