Right, I got my 'training' yesterday how to 'stab' myself with the needle, how to draw up syringe, etc. I got my scan booked for November 18th. I know, it won't take to come, but it does seem a while - 3 weeks! By rough calculations, we are looking at EC week commencing November 29, then ET few days later, and test by December 18. Will see.

I hope you have good news just in time for Xmas

The first few injections take a bit of getting use to but after that its fine and this comes from someone who is needle phobic. Are you have tablets as well? I was on Burserlin for 3 weeks then stimmed for 12 days before EC. Wishing you all the luck and you want to know anything let me know.

How are you Jujugaboo?

So how long do I need for a full cycle of ICSI?
Is it 2 months?
I'm seriously considering it:think:

Also, can one freeze DH's sperm and use it on ICSI?
He's not here all the time...

IUI didn't seem to have worked, sore b o o bs I had since the trigger injection has mostly disappeared, and bfn on hpt this morning at 11dpo:(

No, no tablets. Buserelin, Menopur, Gonasi, and pessaries 2x. That is my lot.

I am fine but fear its a BFN. I have no sypmtons at all really apart from a bad back (but that might just be laying on the sofa all day) a few twinges and my sore b o o b s have nearly gone too. I'm sorry you got a BFN this morning, its so hard.

My ICSI took just under 2 months inc. the 2ww. We used frozen sperm and it was fine. We had some frozen sperm from last year that we used. ICSI can be quite trying emoitonally and physically but worth it if we can get a positive result.

Sounds like its all going to plan then. Not had Gonasi before. The pessaries are horrible I am using them at the moment - more seems to end up in the toliet or my knickers (sorry TMI).

Good luck with it all.

I hate BFNs:( I keep telling myself looking at it for hours on end won't make the line appear magically:o

Frozen sperm may be the way for me to go. Thanks:)

Be careful - if you look at a test after the time limit you might get an evap line appear! Never look at it again after the 10min (or whatever your test says)

Remember that 11dpo is very early, you're still in with a chance yet. Good luck x

I was hoping for that, but even evap didn't appear:o

Lol - I tried ov sticks once, partly jury due to wanting to see that 2nd line, but I didn't even see 2 lines with them!
Well I'm out for this month, onto cycle 18. Wish this lap and dye appointment would come through!
