Looking for a April ivf cycle buddy! - Page 18

Hello all, and welcome to the newbies!
Katrus - that sounds great. Really good size follies.
Ratma - don't worry, I'm sure 2 days won't make a difference xxx Let us know what they say tomorrow.
AFM - I've got folliculitis again (hair follicles on my legs get infected, I was on antibiotics for a couple of weeks and now it's come back.) Worried in case it affects the IVF, or that I can't be treated for it whilst IVFing or preggers... will ask hospital on Tuesday.

Ratma, usually they convert to iui if there is only a couple of eggs maturing. However, for your first cycle, you can insist to proceed even if you only have one egg. After first cycle, they need at least 3 follies to be over 15mm, otherwise they convert to iui. About male factor, we have that too but I think they would still convert unless it's your first ivf cycle. That's what made me upset for a couple of days, because iui wouldn't help me much.

Okay thanks for the explanation Katus x

Oh Reb - sorry about the inefection, best to check but hopefully it won't affect your progress.

I've had some spotting but not much else - I shall phone the nurse when I get home and see what they say. I've spoken to another girl I know (who's now pg with twins from IVF) and she didn't have AF before she started each cycle so hopefully either AF will show her ugly mug or the sniffers will have thinned out my lining.

Ratma - my AF was 4 days late down regging. You have loads of time before scan. My clinc said as long as had started before my baseline scan there would eb no problems or delay.

Katrus, thats great news that you can go forward for IVF, Im still in the panicking a little stage.

I had my second scan today and the follicles have grown a little more bit still need some more growth so back on wednesday again to check. I have 2 follicles 15mm, 2 follicles 13mm, 1 follicle 12mm - hoping all these get to the mature stage of over 18mm before friday's egg collection. I have another 4 measuring 10mm but dont think they will be mature enough for a good egg but time will tell. Was a bit disappointed when I had the scan was so hoping they had grown more but slow and steady wins the race as they say.

katrus78 · Apr 2nd, 2012, 13:48 PM

Wishing, your results are not bad at all, as I also have only 6 follies above 10 (as of yesterday). I am still waiting for my results from today's u/s and labs. I am very concerned about my lining wich was at 14mm today already. I heard its bad if it goes beyond 15, and I have a history of it thickening all the way to 19mm... Well, I guess we will see.

Have they talked to you about doing the egg retrieval and then doing an FET next month with a better lining thickness?

Hang in there!!

Katrus - are you taking Luveris too or just the follistim?

katrus78 · Apr 2nd, 2012, 14:04 PM

Nope, just Follistim, no Luveris. And, no, they don't seem to worry about the lining. The Retrieval is still set for this Thursday. I am sure the lining will grow beyond 15mm by than

I am not sure though even if they did FET next cycle that my lining would be thinner. It has always been on a thicker side

It may be natural for panic to set in just about this time, but I can't help it. First I worried just about the follies, and now it's the lining. And I hate that I have to wait til like 3pm to get the results.

Reb S · Apr 2nd, 2012, 16:38 PM

Katrus, please don't worry - it doesn't help anything! Just tell yourself that what will be will be and there's nothing you can do but try to keep calm and carry on as they say!!!

katrus78 · Apr 2nd, 2012, 16:54 PM

So, girls, here are my results from today's u/s and b/w:

CD10, day 9 of stimming, done 8 injections
Right ovary: 16.5, 16.5, 11.5, 9
Left Ovary: 20, 17.5, 16.5, 11
Alltogether - 8 follies
Е2 = 804
Lining = 14mm
The date of retrieval is now uncertain. Thursday or Friday.

The lining is getting too thick, the max is 15mm. The follie count went down from 9 to 8, and I doubt that 9mm follie will mature in just a couple of days. Plus, the E2 level should be around 1100 right now, so i am really behind the needed level... I am so scared of what will happen. All my PMA is now gone, and I feel very stressed. Don't know what to do to fix it. really, I can't fix it, I know, it's just gonna have to be as it will be, but it's so hard to just sit and wait...
