Hi girls! Good, good luck splitting snow. I keep my fingers crossed for you!. You're right about the costs. Last time with my IVF (first cycle) the same. I don't have the courage to see and count all the expenses we've made. Let's hope this time will be THE TIME, OUR TIME! I pray for this....
MayC, the nurse still didn't answer. I called, I left message, I wrote an email. But, I still have time, so I will insist!
I am so happy for you, and your news and feelings are so exciting! I hope to have my good news in the coming weeks so we can share together and this experience.
A big hug to all of you girls!

Adrianna,Augustbump & MayC, thanks for your good wishes!
i haven't started worrying just yet, i still have 10 days to go, so im really trying to not think about it.
Adrianna, I hope you will get an answer back soon, how're you feeling these days? hope you get started soon.
MayC, how exciting that you saw the heartbeats & that it is ONE baby only. I can't wait to see that in my own belly! last time i was at Dr Lo's doing an ultrasound, i saw a little baby (8-week-old) on the screen from the person before me. it was just precious & sometimes that feels sooo far away, and unachievable. im trying not to put too much hope on my 1st IUI, and i think we will give ourselves 3 tries on IUI, then move on to the IVF.
how far along are you now? make sure to rest alot & try not to stress out! hope u will get your energy back as the baby grows inside you. ^_^
best to everyone!

MayC I am so happy for you!!! :tmi
Your news are so comforting me because give hopes, and love, and happiness...everything we need when we dream about a baby! Congratulations my dear, dear friend!
You and Liquorice gave the rest of us an immense joy!
I had, finally, my answer. After trying and trying to get in touch with them, they answer my second email, so I will have first the blood test and after see the doctor. Hope for the best....
I was thinking not to take the laptop with me, but I am not sure I can stay all these days without you girls... So, I'll see and let you know....
MayC, how many embryos you transfered every time?
I had first time 3 embryos and now, if they survive ( I really hope so!!!), I have left only 2 embryos...

Hi Adrianna, when exactly do you go for your FET? Very soon now isn't it? Exciting...! I wish you tons of luck. How long will you stay in HK after the transfer?
Splitting Snow, best of luck to you as well. I hope the 2ww isn't too painful. I am with Dr Lo too. He is a good guy.
MayC - try not to worry about the fluid problem. I'm sure it will be okay - and your doctor himself said he isn't worried at this stage. You have come this far; the Gods are on your side. Glad you have a singleton too, as you wanted! I had my 3 month scan yesterday and found out that I am having a little boy. It was amazing to see him. Though I had lots of tweaks and twinges in the first month I haven't felt anything for ages and I'm not showing so I started to wonder whether I was still pregnant at all. I still feel so incredibily, incredibly lucky. We are going public for this delivery too. No insurance and we really can't justify the cost of going private - and as you said, with so much already spent up until now it seems the sensible thing to do. I am a bit nervous about it though. I chose a hospital and went to register already and it was a completely different experience from any healthcare I've had in HK so far. Nobody really tells you anything at all. Just tells you to do things but doesn't explain why or what the next steps are, or even are willing to answer any questions. I am continuing to see my doctor for the occasional appointment so that I can feel more comfortable.
Luck and love to everyone.

Hi girls
Great to read all your news. MayC so exciting you saw the heartbeat already. I can't believe time has gone by so quickly. I am not surprised you nearly cried, you have had quite a journey. I was going to go public for any birth I had so I investigated and it sounds like a good option. If money is an issue I would just do that. The healthcare will still be great. I wouldn't worry about the water that Dr Ho mentioned - there will be lots of little things along the way and you can't worry about all of them or you will kill yourself worrying! Just remember that you didn't think you would make it this far, you were worrying about your embryos etc and you have got pregnant. So have faith and relax! (I know it's easier said than done...)
Splitting Snow - good luck with your IUI result. You have the right attitude that it may not work, but let's hope it does and good that you have options to continue if not.
Adrianna - good luck with your FET. Good luck comes in 3s and MayC and Liquorice are the first two... so?
Augustbump how is your pregnancy going?
As for me, I have desperately been researching clinics in the UK as something to do - it's so hard to just keep waiting knowing every month is one less egg! There is so much choice over there and so much information it's been a bit overwhelming. Plus now our dog has failed her rabies antibody test so she can't move until January - I am tempted to stay here and just do some IVF with Dr Ho as that will save some money in kennel fees... We will see.
Oh and thanks for all your encouragements about eating what I want during this time - MayC you obviously like oysters! I am a big sushi fan so enjoying having lots of that - and also drinking lots of wine and coffee (well, I am from the UK... ;-)

Kazbo, there is a clinic in the UK that has a much higher success rate for IVF than usual - something like 60 or 70% I think - because they use a new technology to scan the embryos. I think success is much higher because they can tell which embryons won't succeed due to chromosomal reasons. Anyway, not sure if you have come across this place in your research but if you haven't I can ask my mother for the details as she was the one who found it and talked to me about it...
A lot has happened since I last logged on.
First of all, I am very excited for you Adrianna, you are finally doing your FET this month! Keep us posted how it goes, as I will do mine next month, though mine will be a medicated one, which means I start taking Progynova 3 times a day from D2. At least there will be no injections!
SS, good luck and hope you will bring good news to all of us in another week!
MayC, how wonderful you saw the heartbeat of your little one! I am sure all will be fine, just enjoy the journey and take lots of rest!
Kazbo, good luck in trying naturally.
Liquorice, a BOY!! how wonderful!!
As for me, I am going to Shanghai this sunday for a week, to see the Expo, then off to Vancouver for 2 weeks for our summer holidays!! Yeah......I can't wait!!.....My period should come end of this week, if all goes well I can start my FET next month too!!

Hi girls and thank you for the support! Best wishes to all of you! Let's hope will be all successful, so we will be the group of the year!!! Just joking...
I want to check on my case; MayC you've said something about the rate of your successo, so one question though: How many embryos you transfered every time?
