Welcome ICLW'ERS

Hi all and welcome to my blog im so happy to be part of this year's i com leave we, but next year ill have more to offer < as hopefully ill be preggers!

just stopping in

Well nothing to report for now , just getting ready to enjoy my last barren holiday. lol. anyway, dh's kids are coming in january they're gonna stay with us for a month and then their mom is moving back in february so basically they'll always be around...i'm kinda happy as ill have them for a whole month all to myself.

How do u like dem onions!

well i spoke to my ivf nurse abt if there is anyway  i can reduce on the cost of my cycle, she then proceeded to tell me about doing an egg share cycle.
An egg share cycle, which is basically donating half of the eggs retrieved to someone else for their cycle, this would cut the cost of my cycle by half...how do u like dem onions.
only problem is, dh isnt jumping at the idea just yet, im hoping this will change.

Eggs gotta go for sale!

OK so i got my quotation from the clinic and my total cost is US $7565.00 , I knw some of u may find this extremely cheap, but for me i have to multiply this figure by 2.8 plus add the cost of travel and hotel stay so my total cost in my currency would be something like 25,000 wow. This ivf thing better work on the first try and both embies which i plan to have implanted better stick and come through 9 mnths later, and they better be a boy and girl pair, so i wont have to do this again.
So anyway, i think im gonna have to figure out some way to help with my treatment cost, maybe ill have to sell some eggs....anyone want eggs to buy?

checkin in

hey blog how have u been? it's been a while i knw let me apologise for that, it's just that nothing much is going on with me these past few days, my ivf nurse promised to send me a quotation yesterday but i am yet to receive it , so , i think i might send her a reminder email, cause i really wanna know how much its gonna cost so i can start organizing to source the funds, i may have to take a loan from a financial institution, but hey, if it's gonna get me what i desperately want then, it shall be done!

finally, test results

So i finally got my test results yesterday , and emailed them to my ivf nurse and she said they're normal, so im just waiting for my quotation on monday....yayyy!
here they are:            
                                   LH  0.839 mIU/mL
                                   FSH 3.19
                                   Estradiol  74.6 pg/ml
                                   Prolactin   8.52 ng/mL
                                   TSH         0.878 uIU/mL

The waiting game!

Omg, how long does it take to test some blood for hormone levels? i had my blood drawn last friday and up till yesterday my results are not ready. My ivf nurse hasnt contacted me since btw, oh well!
