Egg Donation in Greece #5

[Phia]

@Phia : Thank you for continuing to update the list!
@Peninsula Girl : 11 mature eggs? Woohoo! May they fertilise well and grow wonderfully! Enjoy your holiday and all the best on transfer day!


I am waiting for my period at the moment, and there's a small amount of dark coloured discharge... I'll probably send an email to the clinic coordinator to ask if it counts, but what do you ladies reckon??

Another quick question: how much does Progynova (or similar oestrogen) cost in Greece?

Thanks @missjay! Day 1 is considered as menstrual blood flow before 6pm (at Monash). Good luck! So spotting doesnt count. Hope that helps!

For us it was day one, full flow so sporting etc doesn't count and for charting purposes it was before midday but I'd count day one of full flow as @Phia has said

Ladies I'm kind of freaking out.
My gp is having me do hcg bloods every 2 days and my levels are dropping.
Her reasoning for the bloods is now that there is only one baby she wants to know what my base hcg level should be.
I'm still within range but an example of my levels are
18/04 - 83889
20/04 - 67313
Wtf is going on?
The scan on Wednesday made me feel so positive but now I just don't know.

Any thoughts? I'm so scared.

@Mrsl73 your hcg will be dropping because of the other twin failing and it has stopped producing hcg so your body won't be processing that anymore, it will probably drop quite a bit, then level out to where a singleton would be at the same stage and then start to rise again.

[Phia]

@Mrsl73 hang in there, I know it's scary but it's such a different ball game with OE. Everything will be okay - I think Stacey's right - levels are callibrating for a singleton

Hi to all the lovelies out there
I have a couple of questions after reading every ones stories thus far.
#1. What does PUPO mean??
#2.How old is everyone if you dont mind sharing

[Mrsl73]

@Nilz79
PUPO Means 'pregnant until proven otherwise'
I'm 43yrs old - 44 this August

Thanks a lot for the detailed input . Would you recommend staying somewhere near Dr. Nicos? Or should I look into the Plaka area as well ? I'm just too confused about commuting and stuff .

Anyone who isn't familiar with Athens feel free to pm me. This is my 8th! year in a row to Greece and other parts of Europe. I've stayed in everything from 5 star to mid range to Airbnb (three of them I highly recommend as one is an Australian owner and he's a fantastic host) All great and safe locations and very comfortable.
We are regulars at the Hilton there now and if you book in advance discounted rate can be as low as €110 per night. Only 5 mins to Embryoland also.

I am happy to help with transport options (Taxibeat) is a fantastic app similar to Uber but you can see the drivers ratings and approx fare cost and if they speak English before you click on them.
I also two regular drivers I use there however many of here recommend someone else and he sounds great too.

Thanks a lot ! What are your thoughts on living in the Kimpiski or Plaka area and getting treated from Dr. Nicos . He has asked me to be in Athens for 9 days, after which he would not be needing me .
Is it recommended to stay near him ?
I have many other questions as well ! A bit confused on few things , can I somehow pm you 😊
