another appointment

Well things got off to a tricky start with all the trains going all over the place and I was stuck at Doncaster station with G stuck at our home station, with all his trains being cancelled, so he had to drive in and park up before joining me on the train up to Darlo. As a result we got to Darlo clinic 15 mins late.

Anyway the clinic are going to give us a chance to do the egg-share IVF. We have signed all the papers and the only thing that we need to get sorted out is my blood group and my CMV results as Sheffield clinic seem to have lost those results, so I need to speak to my GP to see if my results are still available from last year, if not I need to get tested again, as soon as they come back, we can get started.

The clinic have said that if I don't respond to stimulation (I get less than 8 follies) then they will stop the treatment and we can only continue if we pay for it, but if I get 8 or more follies and at the time of egg collection we get less than 8 eggs, then the clinic will pay for the IVF treatment and we get to keep all the eggs ourselves, but if there are more than 8 eggs then we do the egg share. Initially they said that we could expect to be waiting up to 3 months for the sperm, but then said that if my CMV came back +ive then it could be weeks or even days before we get started.
