CD8 – Stim Day 6 – Update#2 GIFT#1

Happy to update all you babynauts on the current status of the eagerly anticipated GIFT#1.
Details aren’t exactly wow worthy.  First cohort coming along nicely, we didn’t really count as at this stage they’re still tiny and Monday will be Much more meaningful.  Second cohort looks hectic (did I hear someone say OHSS?), circus-like action.

CD7 – Stim Day 5 – Update#1

Ok, as some of you know there was a little ballzup and I’m not doing Lucrin, but a Cetrotide cycle, like with my previous IVF.  Long story complications, ad hock plan proceeding. Bygones!
