[Taylah]

Hi ladies any news aleja?
Wish - I'm sure a holiday will do you & your hubby good, as for rabies vaccine that sounds a bit scary, never had to consider it so no advice but def something to think about !
Miss redknob - how you going? Any side effects?

 

[Miss Redknob]

Just seem to get a mild headache each day but not enough to take anything. Thanks for asking xx

Hope you are well

 

[aleja]

hi ladies,
another BFN for me...sigh....... there goes FET #1
I am thinking of doing another FET cycle back to back but not sure yet. The FETs are so much easier so I think I can physically handle it but not sure about emotionally!!

 

[Miss Redknob]

So sorry to hear Aleja, sending you and DH lots of

Did they say why it may not have worked?

 

[Taylah]

Aww so sorry aleja, don't give up Hun try yourbest to stay positive xxxx lots of hugs to you xxxx
Miss redknob - I had really bad headaches every afternoon

 

[Taylah]

Hi ladies how is everyone?
Miss redknob - how are you where are you in your cycle ?

 

[Miss Redknob]

Hey Taylah I am going in for my first bloods tomorrow. Syneral is still giving me a daily headache but not enough to take anything. Was going to ask did you have assisted hatching?

Hope you and your little girl are well xx

 

[Miss Redknob]

Had my first round of bloods today and got my injections. They are starting me on 150mg Puregon. Bloods all came back good

Congrats miss redknob looks like your cycle is all goi g to plan, I hope you don't find the shots too bad, I didn't however after about a week I was so located I looked 3 months pregnant- lol that never went away ! I did not use assisted hatching but did transfer a grade a day 5 blastocyst ( which was just about to hatch ) I don't know all that much about assisted hatching, do you???
As for me I am feeling so relieved I had my anamoly scan today ( the big one) where they check everything & I am very pleased to say that my super active little girl is looking very healthy & doing so well that the specialist has cut me down to fortnightly visits instead of weekly, which worries me a little bit but I trust him so will have to do my best not to be a stress bucket, also I am just starting to feel baby move a bit more now so that helps me feel a bit more like I know she is ok , I hope everyone else is ok xxxxxxx

 

[Miss Redknob]

The shots hurt a bit but I can deal with that I asked them about assisted hatching but they do it for women over 38 or if you have bad eggs.

So glad to hear that you and your little girl are doing well. Moving around how exciting

any news from anyone ? just checking on you all, aleja ? miss red knob ? wish ?

 

[Miss Redknob]

Hey Taylah, I'm well they increased me to 300iu from 150iu (Puregon) last night. Did you get increased?

 

[Taylah]

I didn't get increased but I was on 300iu straight off , how are you going with it all ? Are you really bloated yet ?

 

[Miss Redknob]

Yeah I look about 6 months pregnant Had my first scan yesterday an I have 10 follicles on my left and 8 on my right all measuring from 10.5mm - 15.5mm. Hope they grow over he next couple of days

 

[Taylah]

That sounds great, a couple of days ( actually 1 1/2 days) before my egg collection I only looked like I was going to get about 4-5 mature follies ( over 17 mm ) but I ended up with 13, they grow pretty quick especially if they have upped your meds, keep me posted best of luck to you xxx

My wife and I are just starting at Monash too! Although i'm on travel right now, in the US, and she is an American in Australia! LOL. Any opinions on Monash so far? We'd love to hear.

Thanks,
N.

 

[Miss Redknob]

Hey Taylah, had my scan this morning and I am triggering (Ovidrel 250) tonight They think I will get around 10-15 eggs

:wave: N, I am going through IVF Australia (NSW) the best person would be Wishandwait to talk to as I know she went through Monash GL to you and your wife.

Hi y'all. We are in Canberra & about to see the specialist in late Oct. I'm 41 and healthy (O regularly & hormone levels fine), DH is 39 (low morphology - 6%). We have been married 4 years and have had one unsuccessful natural BFP while NTNP. We only started TTC seriously about 3 months ago - sadly I am like that cartoon where the woman says "OMG I forgot to have children". My GP believes the FS will go straight to IVF because of my age.

I should add that I am the proud adoptive mama of two older kids - one now an adult, one in her mid-teens.

I post a lot in the Aussies trying to get Duffered thread but there isn't really anyone else over there that is at the point of seeing a FS.

Hi maddy and nq, welcome! This forum has been an awesome support for me the last few months and I hope it's the same for you! Nq I went through Monash at Hawthorn for ivf with icsi. Mixed feelings about it to be honest, im from regional Vic so we did a heap of traveling. They were very efficient but our nurse was sort of strange, she was rubbish with returning phone calls and I thought that the cycle was under-monitored tbh. A lot of people have had great successes with them thOugh so hopefully you and your wife will be one of them. Any questions you have I'd be happy to answer!
