Hi Barmy, I did mine with Dr. Ou she does house visits , she said it's best to start 2 month before the ivf cycle( 2 sessions a month). however had my first session in the middle of my cycle( took some time to be convinced that acupuncture can actually help). I think the most important sessions are the ones right before and right after the embryo transfer.

Hi FullofDreams, I had my first IVF in September which didn't work out but luckily i've saved some frozen embroys ,transfered 2 last week and waiting another week to find out if ..... :) It's not frightful at all , keep the excitment mood on take it really easy and enjoy getting pampered by everyone :) , I've also tried acupuncture this cycle, I find it relaxing and who knows some people swear by it. EW ladies are all nice and supportive, you'll be surprised how many of them tried or still are trying IVF. Good Luck xx

I have to agree with Eva and dikane .. don't take the easy way out ..i tried that and all it did was double my weight when i stopped them and made me more desperate. If you really want to loose weight you have to be convienced that there is no magic stick..no easy solution.... it took me about 2 years to shed 25 kilos, hard work and consistency is all it takes..but it then turned into a life style and is a lot easier to maintain my weight .. no more diets no more depression ..no more frustration every time I get dressed Good Luck Kitty Bitty it's worth the hard work ..keep away from pills please :)

Dr. Karim Attara in Al Zahra Medical Centre SZR ..he is excellent, I broke my elbow to pieces 5 years ago and all the doctors said I will not be able to move my elbow full length ever !! .. DR. Karim made it happen. He's the kind of doctor that takes time to explain your condition and answer any questions you have. I highly recommend him ..go see him and take your MRI scans with you ..you need to take an appiontment beforehand because he's always booked..the number is 04 3315000 He's also well known for his miracle surgeries .. he will honestly tell you if a surgery is a must in your case. Good Luck :)

Congratulation Jazzybee! :) Phone the Insurance compnay and give them the number of your insurance ( which you will find somewhere on the insurance card) ,ask them which hospitals /clinics are listed in their direct billing.you can even ask them to email you the list. Looking at the website is not accurate enough as same insurance company have different plan schemes for each company .. so better to contact them directly. All The best :)

wotsit , I have the same exact condition which I just found out about a week ago. mine is only in one knee.. I did MRI and the doc confirmed the condition.. however he said it's reversable. I'm an active person and go to the gym daily ..I used to do step classes sometimes but he advised agaist it at the moment .. he didn't recomend any physiotherapy though .. he prescribed a vitamin specailly for joints (can't recall it's name now, I'll post it later) , an anti- inflamatary and pain releif creme Follow your Dr's recommendation and try to be more active ..take a walk for 30 mins a day if you can .. and wear good supported shoes while walking. If you haven't done the MRI ..do it .. it's painless. I'd be happy to hear your progress ..my next check up is next month Get well soon :) <em>edited by Tinker bell on 22/05/2011</em>

nickym1d which doctor are you seeing, if u don't mind me asking? Wishing you all the best! I hope you get 3rd time lucky. :) I go often on ff, though lately its a bit quite! Tinker bell, are you doing FET, here in Dubai? I thought it was banned?? Well I was informed by Dr F. Though the success rate is low, again I read wonders in various forums.....so don't worry. Another patient of Dr F, (we became close friend) had FET last year, Dr called her to say what do with her frosties, (the new law came into place so they were unable to store them). They thought instead of wasting them might as well give it one last shot.....they were not expecting it to work, especially at thawing process only 1 embbie made it!They laughed.....and thought more money wasted for nothing!!! Well what you know they say survival of the fittest....and this one was the fittest........grew into a beautiful healthy baby (born Jan 2011). Never say never. Don't give up hope! Hi ivfuae Yes I'm doing it in the UAE , I think they keep on changing rules whenever they feel like it:) my doctor said he can't extend the freezing date more than 4 month! other friends told me they froze theirs for over a year! confusing ever changing rules and regulations :) Thank you for the inspiring story , it's some how similar to mine I was not planning to do FET till July ,and there comes the telephone call from my Dr., I have to use them this month or discard them. I had to change all my travelling plans, i'm not lossing hope yet and any chance even 1% is worth the money and time. I wanted to ask you about Dr. F ,it seems a lot of you ladies tried him.If it didn't work for me (hopefully it does work this time) i'd like to try another clinic , is he recommended?

Hi ladies, I'm doing my Frozen Embryo transfer in a couple of weeks following my first round of IVF last Jan. I believe the first IVF is the hardest ... at least you know what to expect comes the second round. Although i've been told repeatdly that the success chances of Frozen embryos is less then a fresh cycle , i'm still crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. Good Luck to all on your IVF journey and always stay positive :)

Dear All, I would like to thank you all for your wishes and support ,Unfortunatley I had a negative result :( I don't know the exact number as I was devestated to even ask ! but after crying it out I believe evrything happens for a reason and this must be the best outcome for me. I still have 3 frozen emroys that I can use later... I deceided to take a couple of month off thinking about babies and return in full throttle ready for the next cycle. For all of you brave ladies going through IVF I'm wishing all the best x

The flight takes around 4 hours.... and no, taxi's don't have seat belts so don't count on that at all. A lot of hotels offers limosine services though which is your alternative. It also depends which area is your hotel? there are areas in Cairo that you can walk with the baby stroller, others no way! I think you should just go and enjoy, it might turn out to be a fantastic weekend :)

we've been trying to concieve for 5 years and after 4 IUI's fails we decided to go for IVF ... which is by far the most difficult in my journey to concieve. Anyway i just did the embryo transfer on friday and the doctor gave me instructions to stay in bed for 2 days!! my pregnancy test is in 15 days, I wonder if anyone has been through this rollercoster and how did you survive the 2 week wait ?
