Hello dear Nini,

I can understand so well how disappointing it is! After this eternally long wait.... Give yourself a big hug!

I have heard that things are going relatively quickly at Diers and the new Sellmer Clinic in Aarhus. Perhaps you can find out the approximate waiting time by sending an e-mail request...

In principle, the transportation of sperm should not be a problem.

Best regards!

Hello,

We are also at the Sellmer Clinic in Aarhus, so far everything has been great. We got access to a portal and were able to look at children's pictures/hobbies/hair color etc. and then put them on our favorites list.

We found our donor at the end of November/beginning of December and she agreed to donate in January. She did and now we are going there on Monday to pick up our worm.

We were there once in person in October for the sperm collection and my examination. Everyone there was very nice and friendly. We spoke to the doctor in German and English, which worked well.

We were in contact before and after by email, we write in German and the staff also reply in German. You get prescriptions by email. It's really uncomplicated. I had my other ultrasound examinations here in Germany at a KIWU because my gynaecologist also measured the thickness of the GBMS and I've been suspicious of him ever since.

I always sent the results to DK by email and always received an answer very quickly. One stimulation was discontinued and the clinic said we would start again. Stupid at first, but they just want the best result.

As I said, we'll be back at the clinic on Monday, first for a blood sample and an hour later for the transfer.

Nini just book a video call with the clinics without obligation and then decide.

Update: Aagaard has now quickly suggested a new donor who even wants to start treatment next week! Signs and wonders are still happening! I have no idea what criteria they use to organize their waiting list, but perhaps the announcement that we will now look for another clinic has had some effect...

In the meantime, I had already written to the Sellmer Klinik, the Diers Klinik and the Ovumia Klinik and even had a very nice online conversation with the Sellmer Klinik with a medical student who spoke perfect German. So if anyone has problems with English, I can definitely recommend the Sellmer Clinic. As far as the waiting time is concerned, however, the conversation there was rather sobering - the 2-month waiting time advertised in the email turned into 4-6 months during the conversation, and sometimes even 9 months for special requests... By the way, sperm transportation would not have been a problem, they would have been able to help with that too.

But well, now it's going ahead with Aagaard after all! I am very happy and relieved! And I hope so much that it works this time and that this donor will be our last...

Teska I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the transfer on Monday!

I'm very pleased that things are progressing quickly at your clinic! And thanks for the update. It's interesting to hear that it can take a little longer in the info interview...

Kind regards

Hello everyone,

Teska how did your TF go? Did you have a few more nice days in DK?

We had the TF of our 2nd and last embryo in Spain on March 6th. It's an all or nothing story as we wouldn't try again because it wouldn't be financially possible and the effort has stressed me out a lot over the last few months. I had a lot of trouble with uncontrollably growing follicles and then cysts. In the end, only downregulation with Decapeptyl meant that I was finally able to start the preparation. But today I got the result of yesterday's BT and it's positive at 307 I'm still a bit unsure whether everything will be okay now. It's strange, the first time I was totally optimistic that everything would be fine and this time I have some fears. Also in relation to a possible pre-eclampsia to be honest. The last SSf ended with high blood pressure and that made a lasting impression on me.

Oh how lovely, congratulations, Conby!!! 😃👍 I'm sure everything will be fine now! I'm definitely keeping all my fingers crossed for you!!!

Congratulations Conby

Dear Conby!

Hey how nice-congratulations 🥰!!!

Unfortunately, I am also familiar with the topic of fears - from SSW to SSW there are different topics. Unfortunately, the desire to have children and pregnancy has lost all lightness and carefreeness over the years and experiences!!!

But the issue of pre-eclampsia can be countered quite well with ASA ... are you already taking something or did you take it in the last pregnancy?

Yes, I take ASA, but I didn't have it in my first pregnancy, when I was still under 40 (39). I am now 42 and the clinic included it in the treatment plan right from the start, but only 100mg. As I have read everywhere that the recommended dose for pre-eclampsia prevention is 159mg, I have increased the dose myself. I will discuss this with my German gynaecologist at my first appointment. Normally I don't change medication doses without consultation, but here it seemed uncomplicated and I don't want to communicate with the Spanish clinic any more than necessary, it's been very stressful the last few months and I'm glad to be able to put a tick behind this chapter.

Yes, the fears are strange. Suddenly they're there. And I'm also worried about how we'll manage with two children and whether we'll be able to cope with our daughter. But what makes me feel positive is that she loves babies and tells me without reason that she's having a brother (I wasn't even pregnant then, but she loves books and soaks up the stories from them to act them out). And I think it's kind of nice to have someone else with whom she shares a common history and, in her case, genetics.

Thank you for your kind congratulations and I wish everyone who has another attempt ahead of them all the best and every success!

Good morning !!!

Of course I don't speak from experience😉, but I think you will "all" grow into life with two children!!!! grow into it !!!!

I went for a fine diagnosis at 20 weeks and the doctor, or rather his fine diagnosis center, does a pre-eclampsia screening up to 15 weeks gestation. I was already too late, but he helped me a lot and also took away my fears.

So far there are no markers for P. in my case and he will look at everything again in the 29th week of pregnancy!

He said the best precaution is ASA or Asperin 150. 100 would have been given before - according to the latest studies, 150 would now be given.

Fingers crossed for the next few months ✊🏻✊🏻!!!

Conby first of all congratulations and all the best for the future.

It started at 10:30 am with a blood test to determine the progesterone level, which was 56.88. I should now increase it and also take Cyclogest rectally in the morning. This means I will take 400g vaginally and 400g rectally tomorrow and again in the evening, plus oral and vaginal estrifam in the morning, oral estrifam at lunchtime and vaginal and oral estrifam in the evening, plus 2 new patches every 2 days. It would be good to get over 60, the minimum amount for them would be 40. Just as an aside, because it has already been discussed here in the forum.

The transfer itself was somehow impressive. My GBMS had a thickness of 8mm and was nicely three-layered. However, it has decreased again slightly, last week we were at 8.4 but the doctor said that was normal due to the progesterone.

The embryologist and the doctor carried out the transfer together and we were able to follow everything on the screen, including the collection of the blasto from the next room - that was really exciting. The embryologist was very enthusiastic about the blasto, she kept saying "Oh what a beautiful egg, it's amazing, it's so beautiful"

Well and they just looked for the best place and then placed it there under ultrasound.

I just hope that our Beautiful Egg fights its way through to make itself really comfortable to grow.

She also said that the blasto has really great "spikes, curves" on the outside, which are probably crucial for attachment - at least that's how I understood it. I was so excited and then it was all in English and my husband can't speak English...........but they really explained every step and also answered questions and really looked for the best place.

I am due to have the blood test on March 28.

Yesterday and today I had a pulling sensation on my left side where they placed my beautiful egg. My breasts are also very sensitive and hurt, today I have a headache, but I'm sure these are all side effects of the medication. My thoughts are on a rollercoaster.

We had the opportunity, for a fee of course, to get a video of the maturation 5 days before. It's pure madness what happens there, I can only recommend watching it, I'm sure it's on Youtube or something. It's really a miracle how something so tiny turns into a human being.

Hello everyone,

Our donor had a puncture on Wednesday and we got an incredible 16 eggs! We've never had so many before - for a short time I was thinking about whether we might even be able to have a third child! But the next day my enthusiasm was dampened again - only 7 eggs were fertilized. That seems to me to be a very low fertilization rate, or what are your experiences? So far we have had 5 out of 5 eggs fertilized, but zero blastocysts, 5 out of 6 fertilized with two blastocysts and 1 out of 3 fertilized with one blastocyst (but the sperm quality was also very poor). Now I hope that at least two or three of the 7 fertilized eggs will become good blastocysts.

Dear all,

Today my daughter turned 5 days old. She was born on Monday, March 31st 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Never give up ❤️

My little miracle and me 😌

Congratulations dear Nini747, have a wonderful time cuddling and getting to know each other.

Congratulations, Nini747!!! All the best for the baby time!
