Gender Selection advice - am based in London

Very exciting that you've started booking flights FM!

We didn't take our boys with us but I know lots of people have.

In terms of the vitamins, I can't see any downside to taking them sooner than later (aside from cost!) and I think I've read that at least 6 months of coq10 is preferable if possible for egg quality. If DH is willing to take olive leaf oil it's worth starting this a few months in advance too - have a look at the olive leaf poll thread.

In terms of the bcp, it's probably best to check this with Lori. I'm pretty sure that it's best not to be on it for pretesting.

I didn't do an early ovarian reserve test but then I only got in touch with HRC in January with a view to cycling in August but hopefully others will have a view on that x

Thanks for this Hun, really helpful!! Will have a look at the poll and next month start looking into what vits to take :-) not having the extra test now, Lori said I don't need to thankfully xxx

Hey guys im looking to do ivf / pgd this may / june . Im torn between Dr Savvas for convenience of Dr Potter . Does anyone have Dr Potters prices for this year >?

Hi Ladies have any of you cycled with Dr Potter yet ? If so how was it ?

Hello. Yes I did and I'm currently 15 weeks pregnant. The experience was full of highs and lows but I think that will be the case wherever you cycle. Let me know if you have any specific questions - I'm happy to answer if I can.

Hi Mrs E , Thats fantastic news congratulations ! who did you cycle with Dr Potter or Savvas? How many cycles did you do before you fell and if you dont mind me askinf at what cost ? would love to hear back from you as this journey will be a tough 1 .

Hello. I cycled with Dr Potter - I had one egg retrieval then a planned FET that failed then a second FET which was successful. All of the details including costs are on my stickie:

Hi Mrs E

I just wanted to ask if you wouldn't mind sharing with me your age /
Protocol / -no of eggs retrieved vs matured vs fertilised?
And how many made it to transfer?

I am currently in a very stressful ER wait with poor numbers & a disappointing result (in Dr Potters Words :( )

Would appreciate a positive story!

Thank you
mM

Hi girls
I'm currently at HRC for GS with Dr Potter.
Happy to answer questions if need be!

Hi MM

Sorry to hear about your stressful ER wait - the process is really brutal but please don't give up hope.

My detailed info is in my stickie (link above). I'd just turned 38 at ER and I was on the long lupron protocol. In terms of numbers, I had 33 eggs at ER, 28 mature and 25 fertilised. Of those 13 made it to testing and we had just 2 normals.

My retrieval numbers were pretty high but that doesn't mean you can't succeed with lower numbers. As you can see we had a really low percentage of normals. In fact other ladies with way lower retrieval numbers (often single figures) went on to have just as many if not more normals than me. So please don't be disheartened. The wait for post ER results is so painful - I really feel for you - but low numbers certainly do not equate to lower chances of success. Quality really is key, not quantity.

Keeping everything crossed for you.
