hi, i dont know anyone who has had it done, but we have just had 3 frozen, and the consultant said that there was a 94% chance of them defrosting fine and then the odds were the same as for a normal ET, as i was very worried about just using one then not having as good of chance with the frozen ones, she said that the techniques are so good now it was nothing to worry about, we have been treated privately at the heath in cardiff, so i'm not sue if it is the same everywhere, HTH

It was in the Heath that I had my IVF!

small world! we live about an hour and a half away but i think the treatment we recieved was good and the staff were lovely, birmingham was our other option but thats about 2 hours away and it was nice to stay in wales

Yeah, I found them lovely. A friend of mine wasn't very impressed with them, and has moved over to the new place in Llantrisant, which she rates very highly, but I found them lovely. Very to the point, open and honest. Just what I needed.

Yes it is a small world. My mum trained to be a nurse in the Heath. I was born in the other Cardiff hospital which has now sadly gone - St Davids.

Runnerduck HUGE CONGRATULATIONS :j:j:j What brilliant news (sorry im a bit delayed in wishing you well )

Major good luck to everyone else that needs or wants some!

Well im now officially fasting ready for my blood test tom. Not sure how long it will take for the results to come back but will ask the nurse. Tom is also CD4 so will mention that to her too.

Going away in 10 weeks time and have worked out that AF would be due whilst away on my 2nd wedding anniversary which would be a fab day for a natural suprise but if not at least now i know i am on my way to hopefully finding out whats not happening.

Facebook is just awful for infertility suffererers! The rest of the world just go about their business and no-one can blame them...but it can seem to insensitive if your brain is wired differently..

One of my friends just had a baby. She's been quite sympathetic to me throughout her pregnancy, which is why she's one of the few pg people I know that I haven't tried to avoid. In fact, I see her a lot.

So I'm sort of disappointed the birth announcement was to the whole world on FB, and I didn't get a text message first.

I'm probably oversensitive. Especially after spending the weekend at a Christening!

cd16.Today may have been a OPK+ve, not sure. The ICs aren't always cut and dried. Next few days should tell.

Up early for long drive to the clinic for a BT to check FSH levels etc. Have requested a 3 day transfer this time but they not sure if they can fit me in for that as I am pre-booked for EC on 19th Apr and the Fri is Good Friday. I mean if you are paying for it surely you have some say.

Hope you'll get something other than AF on your holiday:)

I'm not going to put a birth announcement on FB (if ever:o), as I didn't even put a wedding announcement on there either, so why start now:p

We could start the TTC running club!!! I am hoping to do the Race for Life again this year but I need to get my @se in gear and register. Who knows - I may be pregnant by then. Isn't the trick to book and arrange lots of things that you will find difficult or impossible whilst pregnant and then hey presto? Shame I can't afford a skiing trip as thats the perfect Non TTC activity:rotfl:

this obviously works! i entered a competition to win a white water canoeing experience in cardiff at the end of jan as i love canoeing, i have just had the phonecall this morning to say i won it but i have had to ask them to redraw as ther is no way i am risking that now!
