@meid22 sorry for my late reply. But it's almost July 6th! Then it'll finally be here for you guys. Ah, okay, there are indeed very few hospitals where you could go then, luckily you were at the right hospital. Yeah, I have my appointment in 2 weeks, I'm really curious! You guys are rooting for us too!
@Nancy hey, how are you doing? I hope the 4th attempt was successful. We're being treated in Delft. I don't know if you know that hospital. It's a small hospital. I live in one of the smaller towns there. Where are you being treated?
By the way, I had my period twice this month, so I'm still holding my breath this month. Before we go to the hospital.
@Leentje Hey girl, I'm rescheduling the appointment to next Friday. They called on Monday to see if we wanted to move it So super exciting We're heading to London today ;-) I really hope it hits the mark for you guys this month Love
Leetje, that's so exciting for you! Hopefully, we'll hear some good news from you soon.
Things are actually going well with me, although my gut feeling tells me this attempt didn't work out... but we still have to wait a little longer.
We're walking around in Leiderdorp at the Alrijne hospital. Really nice hospital, if I do say so myself.
@meid22 oh how nice! Super exciting!! Really, it's worth the wait. Ahh London is also very nice for a bit of relaxation before you start the journey. Thank you, I hope so too. It's a bit of waiting, I'm curious! But don't hope too much, otherwise you'll only get disappointed.
@Nancy thank you, I hope so too, and of course for you! I really hope it works out for both of us this month. How long do you still have to wait, Nancy? Ah okay, I've heard of that before. It's not super far from here. That's nice that you like the hospital. I don't have any experience yet with the hospital where I'm being treated. Let's cheer for each other!
@ Leetje, I still have to wait until Saturday, then I can test. So keep your fingers crossed for now .
We're all rooting for each other, girl! It's all so exciting.
@nancy ah how exciting, indeed! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Haha, I have to wait about 2 weeks because I ovulated on Monday/Tuesday. So I'm curious.
Dear girls.. we tested this morning and I'll say it very softly that it was positive . It's still very early, so it's still a bit suspenseful.
The tests are in my photos.
Ohhh, that was such great news, Nancy! OMG, I'm so genuinely happy for you, really! I wanted this for you so much. Hopefully, everything keeps going well. I'm cheering for you; I think it's super lovely!! Congratulations, dear lady
@Leetje we had the procedure today. For the PESA, one puncture yielded only dead cells and the other 4 yielded nothing.
So it ended up being TESE after all. He was in real mega pain, he even had to cry which he normally never does ;-) and even after a lot of painkillers he was still in agony, with a wound of over 2cm.
But the good news is that in the end they did find 8 strands of sperm so more than enough for ICSI.
Now on July 9th there's an evaluation talk where the plan of action will be discussed.
Then injection instructions, and back on the pill ;-) and then (probably in September) we'll really start with the ICSI.
@meid22 ohh what amazing news!! Really super!! Yeah, but then I understand it well, the procedure is no small thing. Really nice news, both you and Nancy on this beautiful Friday. But luckily, you've got that behind you now and can focus on your wedding. And after that, on the further treatment.
@Nancy that's good to hear! Hopefully, they keep rising. Do you have any symptoms or not? And once you're pregnant, do you have to go straight to your OB-GYN?
Leetje, tested again this morning and the test is a bit clearer now. So things are heading in the right direction .
I'm really tired, my breasts are hurting more and more and they're huge! (They weren't small to begin with, but now they're even bigger!) And I've got little twinges in my tummy with lots of noise.
Hehe, it's all very nice
Ah, how nice, Nancy! Haha, yes, those are indeed really the complaints. Did you already have complaints before your period or not? It's so nice that it's going in the right direction
Good morning ladies,
And suddenly I don't have any more discomfort... And I'm scared.
Hopefully it's nothing.. but I'm so unsure that something's wrong
Good morning Nancy, ah that's annoying but don't let it get to you. Hopefully it's nothing. Some days you have more discomfort than others. I'm crossing my fingers for you that everything is okay and will be fine!
