So sorry to hear about this fulladoll! You poor thing! I'm sure everything will work out ok. Sorry I don't have any advice on that type of injury, but good luck, thinking of you !

Hmm I should ask my DH he is a PT, he specializes in orthopedics (unfortunately he's not home right now) So sorry you are going through this. Sounds like the ladies have given you some great advice. I'd say PM but I no longer do gold.

Oh gosh, I wasn't expecting this!! I agree with the others - I would send DH and then go for a FET. We have seen a HUGE amount of success with those recently. Hoping your back feels better soon though.

Thanks LMM! I so badly want to get on that plane, but it is good to know that there are other options. I am waiting to hear back from Dr Lin's office about whether they use vitrification.

I am also waiting to hear about the donor's scan yesterday. I hope everything went well.

I'm so sorry about your back and your cycle! Don't worry about an FET, though. Vitrification appears to work amazingly well - what an improvement in the freezing method! My girl thawed beautifully, and I'd been terribly worried after past bad experiences (with the old method). I hope you recover very quickly, but if you still can't make the trip, I hope you'll be well enough to cycle again soon with an FET!

There are several different kinds of brace. Might be worth trying to get one that fits better - it really does help minimise sciatic pain. MIne are all fabric so they can mould to whatever shape. Swimming is a brilliant non-muscle loading exercise but I would take it easy with the swimming while you are in the acute phase as you can make it worse.

My back is.... manageable. I know what aggravates it and what helps but I'm never pain free. Given that I've had my L5/S1 disc removed and have a herniated L4/L5 being completely pain free is probably not going to happen. I suspect the wrangling my twin 2yo boys require does not help matters! And my back is one of the main reasons my DH has been reluctant to go HT for a DD.

I really hope your injury is a temporary one and that it doesn't impact your cycle.... I know how awful this type of back pain is but I would try to avoid spinal surgery at all costs if it is suggested. I only had the surgery because I was threatened with life in a wheelchair but even still I wish I'd held out a bit longer and tried bed rest for a few weeks. MMx

Thanks Michaela. That is very reassuring, although I am sad obviously that it didn't work out well for you that time.

Thanks Michaela!

Can anybody remember the last time one of us had one that "didn't make the thaw"? To me, it seems like ages ago. I am trying to reassure myself that it can work out even if I'm not fit to travel next week.
