Yes! I'm off!!!
I starting down regulating two days ago with Suprefact injections. A friend gave me her spare Suprefact bottle and needles, and I have some left-over needles and syringes from last time so I'm set up for a few days. The doctor at my clinic wrote out the wrong prescription though (I can't have nasal sprays!) so I have to get him to change it - I guess I will phone tomorrow.
I'm buying all my own drugs this time in a bid to save money. My clinic does a massive mark-up on the drugs. :-(
I have to have a hysteroscopy on my last day of down regulating so they can take out that little bit of something that's in there before I start stims. I'm hoping it will come out naturally with the next bleed...
I'm feeling positive and excited that treatment has started once again. I'm on my way to another baby! We've decided not to do ICSI though because more and more I blame the procedure itself for my malformed baby. I think the acrania was due to the invasive ICSI. No conclusive proof, but research shows that ICSI is linked to some occurrences of cleft palate - a hole in the roof of the mouth. My baby had a hole in the roof of its head. A severe form of this spectrum of deformities.
At present we're debating the pros and cons of insisting on IVF. It's a risk but... if there's nothing particularly wrong with DH's sperm then why are we encouraged into ICSI?
It's all started again

Too much Chlorine from water (even bottled) can cause anencephalus (missing chunks of the skull)
Let your drinking water rest in an open jug for at least an hour, for the chlorine to evaporate, or use an activated charcoal filter jug
This is ironic as we are told to drink LITRES of water per day while stimulating. I think I ended up drinking about four litres a day. I was so uncomfortable and unhappy, always needing to sit on the loo, permanently bloated, but I forced this water into me (all tap water) in order to prevent OHSS (or so I thought) – this is advised by my clinic.
Last cycle I got 13 eggs and I don't think I am at risk of over stimulating (I don’t have PCO) so I am NOT going to drink like a demented person this time. I will do two litres a day of bottled water. We women already go through so much – to do this as well seems so cruel.
Thank you so much for your information.
